    Sole Trade -v- Limited Company

    Yes, three clients coming from other accountants (like yourself) a year that have been investigated and been asked to pay large tax bills! I think one is too many, as accountants should never let this happen to their clients. There is no need for sarcasm either, this is a serious forum trying to...
