Re: Spot the difference
Doesn't Accenture use regular employees to do the work - whatever that might be?
So they pay the full whack of tax
Err no!
Yes an SI/Consultancy will use regular employees (although they might be on zero hours contracts), who will be paid a salary. However, "the full whack of tax" will only be paid on the employee component of the fee, the (typically larger) company slice will be subject to all the usual HMRC sanctioned tax avoidance tricks...
