Company closure and new company created fees
If you have closed down your company claiming ESC C16, is there any time limit after which it would be considered reasonable to open a new company without the ESC C16 being revoked (if that is the correct term)?- spenj

Ref of a good accountant
Yes, I'm sure some SJD clients are happy with their relationship, it obviously depends on the individual accountant they are assigned. But a growing number seem to be unhappy with the service they are receiving and that ties in with my experience. I didn't say 'a mate had something in an email...- spenj

Ref of a good accountant
This old chestnut about SJDs rivals posting all the negative feedback is wearing a little thin. More likely Jekyll is a genuine poster who is expressing his opinion based on the experiences of his contacts. (It certainly ties in with what I have experienced and heard from colleagues of mine)...- spenj

I've found SJD to be appalling too, as have several of my colleagues.- spenj

From Permanent To Contract
Malvolio, I'm am seriously confused about PCG insurance now! I asked how many cases were contested in a previous thread (Hays Contracts and IR35, started on 5th May) and your reply was as follows : Please can you clarify as the insurance is not so useful and the success rates not so...- spenj

Hays contracts and IR35
Figures for the number of PCG members cases that they don't contest would be also useful, to show whether or not they just cherry-pick the cases they think will win. I'm just wondering whether my PCG insurance is likely to be any use if I ever needed to use it.- spenj

Hays contracts and IR35
I've been told that my client don't change their contracts so I am stuck with a couple of dubious clauses as far as IR35 is concerned. You mentioned on other posts that PCG have only lost 3 IR35 investigation cases out of 1400. Does that 1400 only include cases they have decided to pursue or...- spenj

Hays contracts and IR35
Thanks. My 'assignment confirmation letter' seems to be much more restrictive than the HIT20 as it includes a whole string of Appendices relating to the clients Equal Opportunities policy and other policies.- spenj

That's interesting to know. Why did PCG decide to take up the case?- spenj

I'm confused about the difference between the HIT20 and the contract. I had the contract reviewed rather than the HIT20, but maybe that was a mistake.- spenj
