You shouldn't be paying an accountant who isn't up to speed with IR35.
But as others have said PCG is good insurance."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I had a random PAYE review at the beginning of 2008, what then followed was a three and a half year IR35 investigation which has only recently been dropped. So don't rule out an investigation even if you never put a foot wrong, and make sure you have tax investigation insurance otherwise HMRC will grind you down!.Net and iPhone developer - check out Contractor Expenses app @ www.ContractorExpensesApp.comComment

Tax money well (mis)spent.
Well done for sticking it out and having the foresight to buy insurance.
