Also MPs have very different rules on what counts as a BIK and what is a legitimate expense so don't use them as an example of good or bad practise.
EIDT: oh and you IMG link doesn't work.

Avoid all of the above pay your VAT on time & if your really lucky & or have not yet been caught then your playing the game as it should be played

Well incompetence or rank stupidity isn't a factor in their choice so I guess that's all the OP needs to know.

To answer how HMRC choose their targets for IR35 investigation maybe all those on here who have been investigated recently (in last couple of years) can say how they think they were targetted?
Current replies:
I'll be surprised if the above status changes.
HMRC should be going for the low hanging fruit, such as TV presenters and other permitractors that have been in same contract for years, which offer an easy win and a big reward, if they have any sense. Then all those in public sector that are in same contract that were 'outside' prior to April 2017 and are now deemed inside by the client.
In the unlikely event you are unlucky enough to end up in their crosshairs all you need to do is ensure you've got a contract review by a reputable source that says 'outside' after looking at actual working practices. Then IR35 insurance if you're paranoid. Not heard of anyone being investigated once covered by those as HMRC realise they're on a hiding to nothing and quickly move on to the next target.

Any ir35 “proof” should still be obtainable? No?
Contracts invoices etc should be in emails?
Bit odd to keep this stuff only on disk and only on a laptop.
