Originally posted by CompoundOverload View PostSo, I've been given an outside statement from the client - just a one liner confirming they have classified me as outside based on my working practices.
However, the agency have said they need to re-issue me with a new contract and that "I'm" supposed to get IR35 insurance (they don't already know I have this but any idea why they would request to me get this, when it's the agent and the client that are responsible for any tax that is due if they incorrectly assess me?
I wonder if this will be the new norm? or if it's even enforceable by law. I'll need to get it legally reviewed.Comment

Originally posted by flippyflappy View PostI've got something similar. Am negotiating direct with client, and they've inserted a clause saying I'd be liable for any penalties, fines etc arising in connection with any TAX, NI or other payments of a fiscal nature which that incur as a result of the engagement.

All the benefits of being outside with the risks of being inside.
Same as always then.Comment

Good insurer, bad insurer... good insurer
So I think I should share the resolution to my story, in the hope it might help others make informed decisions.
The good news is that I've now had it confirmed in writing that what Qdos have posted in this thread will apply in my case. i.e., that it was my knowledge of things at the time I purchased the insurance that will ultimately matter for my cover.
But the road to here was pretty long and painful. Another chat with them had again completely contradicted what's been posted in this thread - and ended up with them even trying to convince me to cancel the insurance in exchange for a refund.
Their complete U-turn really came straight out of the blue. And I can only speculate on the actual reasons for this.
I guess moral of the story is that in the case of insurance of any kind, re-assurances from sales folk may not match up with what you hear when you report an actual problem. But keep arguing your case, and remind them of what they've said in other instances. It's by no means guaranteed to help you in the end... but it just might.Comment

...and get it in writing. Did you get it in writing?Comment
