Reporting accountants for IR35 breaches

[IR35equalshateoflittleguy]

One of my hobbies is reporting accountants for IR35 breaches. Anyone have any good stories on how they reported a small business accountant for IR35 breaches?

This post makes no sense. Why should accountants be responsible for IR35 breaches?

This is stupid, unless you mean agents.

When we have people like this and those pillocks starting the petitions we know we are screwed. Why is it the clueless lot seem to want to make the most noise?

If an accountant or lawyer sets up a small businesses or small legal firm and works as a consultant to clients that would be a breach of ir35. They should be instead employed through an umbrella company and pay PAYE tax or the client should hire them as an employee.

Good grief, what makes you think that’s illegal?

It’s not sensible, and agents won’t select you if you try it, but provided you pay the right tax it’s not illegal.

If the accountant's limited company is not FCSA registered with 80 accountants hired, then they are a PSC and not a MSP and should be paid through an umbrella company. Does IR35 not apply to accountants and lawyers?

Would be great if you approve my comment

Well, you just have to be patient, especially as you're posting such unintelligible nonsense. If your accountant is providing services to 1000 individuals/small companies, IR35 doesn't apply. What point exactly are you

Shame we can't move this to general

My point is that there are small accountancies and law firms that fit the criteria of IR35 and we should report them. Accountants and Lawyers think they are exempt from IR35 and they are not.
