Genie Accountancy have announced their formal association with Bauer & Cottrell, a leading IR35 specialist. Bauer & Cottrell, headed by Kate Cottrell, enjoy an excellent reputation for IR35 Compliance and their reviews are founded on principles of honesty and integrity, values they share with Genie Accountancy. 

2012 saw increased activity and focus on IR35 including the introduction of Business Entity Tests, off payroll rules for Government departments and increased specialist resources in HMRC departments to enable an increase in IR35 investigations. The focus on IR35 remains high and Genie Accountancy believe that it is imperative that all contractors review their IR35 status regularly. 

Helen Christopher, Operations Director of Genie Accountancy said: “We are really pleased to be working so closely with Kate and her team. We strongly believe that contractors need to review their IR35 status on an assignment by assignment basis. This review needs to be comprehensive and  focused not so much on an “IR35 friendly contract” but on the working practices and the reality of the relationship between contractor and end client. Bauer & Cottrell’s experience and involvement with the IR35 forum supports this approach and as such we believe our association provides our contractors with access to the most current and accurate thinking in terms of IR35 and status reviews.”
