Under self-assessment HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has the power to open an enquiry into any tax return or set of business accounts.
Experience has shown that HMRC is more likely to have contractors under their IR35 spotlight. Many IR35 challenges are usually as a
direct result of a PAYE compliance visit, consequently the professional fees to defend such enquiries can be substantial. It is therefore
imperative that the contractor takes control by protecting themselves and their business.
This is where Qdos can help. Qdos is the UK’s leading authority on IR35 status issues and has won over 1,000 disputes to date
