Decided I'm inside - Now accountant's saying I don't need to redress things

Yes, JLJ questioned the validity of the subs clause, but not in a way that would set any precedents. I wouldn't rely on JLJ to determine anything, to be honest.

Nor, come to that, do I really care what HMRC's opinion might be. The presence of a reasonably unfettered RoS that the client will honour is all that's needed - although clearly the more pointers you have regarding D&C and MOO the better of course.

It sounds to me like he's suggesting I keep the 3 months I've done so far as being outside, and only count future service as inside. Wouldn't that be daft? Is there any reason for accountants to prefer that you are outside?

If you haven't paid dividends it prolly doesn't make any difference to the numbers and he can balance it all out over the rest of the year. Pretty clever/devious what they can do on paper. Easier to fudge the numbers going forward than spending time trying to proactively fixing it. As long as HMRC get what they are due at the end of the year I don't think they are that bothered about exact dates tbh.
