its called IR35 I mentioned it a couple posts ago. Doesn't matter if ltd co or sole trader same rules apply.

 

If your 'client' sets your time and place of work 3 days out of 5 you will have a hard time saying your not an employee.

But a few years ago my accountant stated that I was getting close to the point where I would have to approach the customer for a full time position (Which would mean that they would drop me and use other). If I crossed the threshold your accountant is duty bound to inform the tax man of your situation.

The only way that I can see you can get around this is by being a limited company. But If I am correct this can still cause problems. In the Building / Construction Industry contractors on major construction site are often taxed at source.

 

I think your accountant is being a bit soft. If you were actively seeking work from other sources and did work for more than one person then HMRC would struggle imho. 

 

With regards to a limited company being taxed at source under  CIS, a company that pays its tax on time is likely to be granted gross status so deduction at source would not be a problem.

Even if the the company was subject to CIS deduction at standard rate you can claim it back through the company's paye scheme.
