    Year 11 Tax man started a PAYE investigation which then turned into an IR35 investigation and he had 11 years of accounts to go back through - both investigations were classic fishing trips by HMRC, resulting in outrageous demands (taxman saying things like accountants fees were non-deductable from profit)which the Accountant fielded.
    Ask yourself would he have been as interested in a company with fewer years trading activity to trawl through?.. but ultimately it's your choice

    Celebrated with a proper contractor day. Pitched up in an office full of strangers. Worked at someone's PC for the day and ate a slice of free cake.

    Happy days.

    Best of all, I have acheived my corporate objective of never being invited to someone else's meeting more than once.

    Long may it continue!
