Wrong advice from accountant

    I run a small company and have a sub contractor working for me. Two years ago my accountant incorrectly advised me that my subcontractor needed to sort out his own tax. This accountant told me that the sub contractor just needed to give me an invoice then I pay him for the work he did. His tax affairs were his own business. I was not told about C45. My new accountant has told me now that the sub contractor should have been C45 registered. Because the sub contractor didn't, and because he is not in the country any more, my new accountant tells me that I liable for the sub contractor's tax. This seems really unfair to me - I'm paying for bad advice. Is there no way of giving the taxman the sub's PPS num so when he starts working here again he can sort out his own tax?
    I only run a very small company and it feels like I'm being punished for someone else's mistake. Thanks if you can help.
