It cannot be right that the UK's smallest businesses are targeted for engaging an accountant
The use of accountants by contractors and the self-employed has been thrown into doubt by government’s recent application of Managed Service Company legislation.
We've launched a campaign to make MPs aware of HMRC's activity in this area and to bring about an urgent review of the legislaiton.
What we're calling for:
Join the fight. Add your voice to ours by writing to your MP.
It would help us enormously if you would contact your MP on this issue, as MPs are chiefly concerned with what their constituents are saying.
We've put together a template letter which outlines the key arguments for halting these MSC investigations, which you can download below and alter as you see fit. You can also find the contact details of your MP here.
If you are already in receipt of a Reg 80 determination and wish to contact your MP, please contact [email protected] and we can send you a different version of the template letter.

An unexpected letter from HMRC is always a concern for contractors - could it be a tax investigation, or a wrongful IR35 status determination in the eyes of HMRC?
