Contractor Shield is a service designed to assist contractors who have received correspondence from HMRC. This service was established in response to numerous enquiries we received at Point Accounting from clients who had received letters from HMRC but were unsure how to respond.
Our initial recommendation was always to consult the relevant umbrella company; however, in many cases, that umbrella had closed, leaving the contractor uncertain about how to proceed. In some instances, contractors would panic and not respond, which only exacerbated the issue and led to fines. This is when Contractor Shield was born—a service aimed at alleviating the stress, hassle, panic, and uncertainty of dealing with HMRC enquiries.
Contractor Shield retains the services of an experienced tax barrister who reviews clients’ letters, provides insight into the investigation, outlines what to expect, and drafts the relevant responses to HMRC. Our service includes the following:
