If the clause was unclear then the obvious option is to ask for clarification from HMRC at the time. If you did this and were told that what you were planning was perfectly ok, then you have nothing to worry about. If you didnt, then the question has to be asked "why not?"

So, do you run all your contracts past HMRC to make sure they are happy with the way you are operating your business? The only person I know who was stupid enough to do this got the response you would expect. HMRC play by their own rules and to assume they are there to help you is very dangerous in my opinion.
