The Chancellor, in his March 2011 budget, has stated that to abolish IR35 would "put substantial revenue at risk". IR35 has been the dominant legislation affecting the taxation of contractors in the UK since 1999. The IR35 rules are not set in stone and case law is required to determine IR35 status in contentious situations.

We advise on IR35 Contracts and offer IR35 Solutions. As IR35 Specialist Contractor Accountants we have a depth of experience in dealing with IR35 investigation avoidance and the definition, in the context of IR35 personal service.

We support Mission Mimi

Matt and Amanda Ryan are looking to raise money to help Amanda's God-daughter Mimi . She and her twin brother James were born prematurely at 28 weeks. Unfortunately Mimi had a bleed on her brain whilst in SCBU and as a result, lives with Cerebral Palsy, meaning she can't walk independently and struggles with her fine motor skills. On Friday 9th March Mimi had surgery at St Louis Children's Hospital, Missouri, America. Over time, this should help improve her condition, making life easier for Mimi and the family. However, for the surgery to be a success, Mimi will require physiotherapy for the next two years, estimated at £25,000 per year. Running the Reading Half Marathon is our way of contributing towards Mimi's future. Any support you can offer would be hugely appreciated.

Please refer to 'www.mimismission.co.uk' for more information.
