Do you have references?

“Customers will not have to pay penalties for inaccuracies relating to the off-payroll working rules in the first 12 months unless there is evidence of deliberate non-compliance.”

I suspect this is carefully worded as I presume they will have to pay the back taxes.

I could set you up at my new agency, SThreePointFive, providing you like gladiators and have some experience bleeding radiators.
