I haven't seen all of the questions, but this one does seem a bit intrusive:
"Did you take accountancy advice before you commenced contracting via your contracting entity?
If yes, please provide the name and contact details of your advisor below..."
If you feel a question is unnecessary, write back to the agency and ask why they need that particular piece of information. Their pre-amble explains they have a policy to ensure compliance, and "may" stop paying if you don't answer all the questions right, but that might just be bluster - designed to make sure they get a good response to the questionaire. They don't actually say they *won't* have your business.
Personally I would also remind the agency that I have never described my limited company as a PSC, and I would ask them to avoid the term in future. [this is your own bit of bluster!]
And see what they say.
