Are they trying to drum up support for their website by saying everyone should be using PSC's to avoid tax or are they saying that there are loads of sole traders with the wrong type of company? It seems rather daft to me to encourage someone to open a company when will cost them a grand a year to file a set of accounts for it, when the saving is only £420 per person...

I thought AtW said the saving was £4.2 billion per person?

Failure to go limited 'costs £4.2bn in tax'

HMRC would have to make up for loss of tax somehow and what would it do if everybody just went Ltd route?
