Are you inside IR35 or outside it? The difference in tax payable can be considerable, and if HMRC thinks that you have got it wrong the demands that they make can be quite frightening. The tests are not easy to administer, and our view is that it is not reasonable to expect people who have been forced to set up their own companies to know the answers.
We have however to live with the law as it is. David Kirk & Co. Ltd. can advise you on whether you are inside or outside IR35, and can assist you when HMRC comes on the attack.
