    Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

    If anyone wants to join a Facebook group for mutual support, you can request to join our group. Have been talking to 5 or 6 others via DM this morning. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2032887096882450 Just to add, I'm only a contractor caught up in this mess but would be good to navigate this...

    Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

    If anyone wants to join a WhatsApp or Facebook group, please DM me. I think we're all gathering thoughts and a defence separately. We may also be able to help each other, even if it means joining up with another group that's forming.

    In the webinar, they did touch on the notion of 'double taxation' being accepted as unfair. I have another chat with them on Tuesday so I'll clarify this point.

    Just had a message from a recruiter asking if I fancy an outside IR35 contract at... HMRC - oh the irony :D

    Mine seems to be having been calculated on salary and dividends I took and submitted as income on self-assessment tax return. I don't believe the figure is correct. If anything, would be higher as they add employer's NI on your gross profit after expenses (eg pension)

    Good to hear that, Seb. I have emailed yourselves but not heard anything back yet.

    Think we need to group together offline from here. Is anyone interested in a WhatsApp group? We need to take collective action and I'm concerned about posting publicly here.

    Have they sent you the small print that sets this out? I had a look through the policy wording the other day and couldn't see anything to this effect. I know they don't cover the tax liability for MSC but nothing in the tax enquiry section.

    Yes but some of us have legal/professional fees covered under QDOS that we should be able to claim so I imagine there could be a banding together of PSCs to fight this. Also check under your prof indemnity cover. I just checked my Kingsbridge prof indemnity and am also covered for legal fees...

    I guess pre-populating suggested figures based on a salary/income you'd told them you wanted to take. But that you could change/override in line with your own company performance. It's a far cry from just sticking in some amounts with no discussion with the PSC and not allowing you to change...

    Was interested to read that HMRC have only won about 30% of their IR35 cases they've taken to tribunal. Shockingly low success rate for them. So yes agreed, I don't think this MSC action is an automatic guaranteed success for HMRC. Surely you have a good case if you can demonstrate control of...

    If anyone on here with Boox has received a letter and wouldn't mind sharing it, could you PM me? I'm keen to see the wording used but I imagine I won't get sight of my own letter for another few days, due to backlog at Boox.

    Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

    I have the same tax investigation cover with QDOS and have checked the small print. It covers professional fees for HMRC tax enquiries. It would cover any tax liability as well if this was an IR35 enquiry. But it's not. So we should be well covered for guidance and support through the...
