Will QDOS review your accounts for you? No they won't so I wouldn't be totally convinced by an an accountants review for IR35. I would want one from an IR35 specialist such as QDOS or B&C.
Out of interest what reasons did they give for being in and out. IR35 is a minefield and alot of opinion has to be applied. Not only that most elements bar the big 4 tend to be flags, not complete pointers. The wording of the sub clause can cause contention for example. If it hints that the client has the ability to refuse a sub for no reason QDOS will suggest you change it to them only refusing subs that are unsuitable.
Post the comment that makes it inside and lets see what the masses here say.
You could of course research the element that they say is inside and understand it properly first so you can make your own opinion.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

That said, I've never asked my accountant to do a review, based on my having insurance with Qdos which gives me reviews, and a reasonable amount of experience in reading good and bad contracts myself.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment
