You might want to read that a little more carefully Hint: it's a component of the BET....

Well, erm, yeah but there is no point picking on minor points is there... Now then, where were we.....

PCG+ members may also want to remember that membership gives you access to office space in London.

10 points for Does your business own or rent business premises which are separate both from your home and from the end client’s premises?

That is a very good point. The BET is so ambiguous we could score <5 points or >30 points if we look at things slightly differently each time

Having access to premises is different than owning or renting them. The PCG+ membership fee cannot be considered rent for business premises.

Anyway, this whole thing is a steaming pile of crap, and we'd do well to completely ignore the BET, since it serves no practical purpose whatsoever.

I'd argue it can because PCG+ costs more than standard membership and a component of that additional cost must go towards the cost of the office space.

I agree the BET is a pile of tulip but you can't ignore it if you work in the public sector.
