Wax Wrote:"it's for the law and tax man to say not the IFA" If that's the case why are they telling registered organisations and members who are employers to obey the law and HMRC guide lines?
What else should they say? They can't very well advise members or registered organisations to act illegally. I suppose you could argue that they shouldn't specifically need to tell these people / companies to act in accordance with the law of the land and tax code, and that this should be implicit, but where they're dealing with financial and legal matters, there's such a level of complexity that the IFA would be entering a potential minefield were it to attempt to second-guess these matters. Surely it's better to say that if you've got a problem with legal or financial matters, you should talk to an expert in the relevant field, rather than relying on a body whose role is not primarily in either of these spheres.
