Course Details

This session will help accountancy firms manage their risks relating to the not-well-known Managed Service Company rules, where accountancy firms – and its directors – can be made personally liable for underpaid PAYE and National Insurance of its clients.


HMRC has increased its activity in this area – with a keen eye on accountancy firms. Now is the time that firms should ensure they are not inadvertently caught out by these complicated and not-well-known rules.


In this session, Jack Bonehill will cover the following:

  • The consequences of the Managed Service Company (MSC) rules applying
  • When do the MSC rules apply?
  • When is a MSC Provider ‘involved’?
  • The risks to accountancy firms of being liable for underpaid PAYE and National Insurance of its clients
  • Ways accountancy firms can reduce their risks


By attending this session, you will know what the MSC rules are, when they apply, the risks to your accountancy firm, and ways to mitigate them
