100%
up to 100% of the tax owed. That is why you have representation. Join the PCG, follow their advice, and HMRC have agreed not apply penalties if you have taken steps to ensure you are outside IR35, even if HMRC eventually pin it on you. At 2 cases a week, and a victories to defeats currently at 1427:3 that should set your mind at rest.Originally posted by 2ukI read the HMRC will fine you in addition to getting the PAYE tax if they win an IR 35 case against you.
