Thanks for all the help. Looks like I'm looking for an accountant, an English teacher and applying for a job at HMRC

James, I have nothing constructive to add to this thread since I do not indulge in accounting malpractices. However, shall I point out to you that there is a significant difference between "there" and "their" ?
Not off-topic, because I reckon you need more help with your spelling than your accounting.

Originally posted by Qdos Consulting View PostHistorically most IR35 enquiries have started with a routine PAYE inspection. If HMRC came to look at your books and records in detail, they would see through your ruse pretty quickly!
See the thread in Accounting / Legal. He / her / it has not registered for PAYE so does that mean that they will be safe from a PAYE inspection?

1. IR35 hasn't a lot to do with how many clients you have on the go at one time it's much more about working practices and contract wording.
2. Since there would be false invoices generated for cynical tax avoidance purposes then that's called tax evasion and it's criminal.
Quite a few people on CUK hate it when a poster can't be bothered to write properly. See my sig

I was not wanting to promote anything, simply get told - yes that is possible, oh that's a bit risky or don't even try it you will get caught.
Therefore anyone having the same ideas in the future would not have to post as it is already on here.
Not very encouraging for new users on the site to see others shot down so easily
Thanks for your help and apologetics for my poor English and grammar
Your poor English and grammar makes you sound like a sockie. I'm going to give you a pet name, something like, errrrrrm, Hector. Yes that's a cute sounding name.

So far everybody has questioned this IR35-avoidance scheme based on its secondary failing (i.e. it's blatently illegal).
I would like to question it on its primary failing, i.e. it does not avoid IR35. If you're effectively working a contract of service, you're IR35 caught, no matter how many fake wiring jobs your company has paid for.

If there was any legal mileage in a scheme, it would now be commonplace, but unfortunately you will end up in jail for false accounting (or tax evasion) if you tried many of those stunts.
One legal idea that did take off was working for umbrella companies, but I've never done it so I don't know what the latest situation is with them.
There are people on here who can provide good advice about IR35, try the Accounting forum as someone suggested.
You could also try the PCG. For a (literally) princely membership fee with add-ons, they'll insure you for legal costs if you end up fighting an IR35 compliance case brought by HMRC. I believe they also have an FAQ section about accounting.
But above all, you've got to account properly and legally, whether we're talking about IR35 or anything else.

What I would suggest is your speak to your accountant, its what you pay him for after all, but I would hazard a guess he will confirm what has already been said - by all means update this thread with his reply.
Your idea that by asking this question it would help others in the future as they could just search for it is, alas, wishful thinking as the majority of questions have been covered in the past several times.
Also, the reluctance of people to directly answer your question may have something to do with the fact that HMRC have used the contents of these forums in legal action against contractors.

This is a great thread.
Particularly as HMRC likes investigating businesses who do things out of the ordinary compared to similar businesses, especially if they are paid in cash.
