It doesn't appear he ever reverted with the outcome....although the enquiry is likely to still be ongoing.Comment

I feel QDOS insurance has reduced over time, with under the hood requirements to take on a case appearing to increase to ensure they can in all likelyhood win any case they support right to the end.
It's not expensive though, and at least gives you a point of contact if you receive a HMRC letter, fortunately I can only guess, but they must have batted back an awful lot of HMRC letters for those with cover knowing what works and what doesn't. This is where I see length of time in a contract, number of contracts over a period, multiple concurrent contracts, not sky high rates, QDOS official response, due diligence etc can shut down an investigation very quickly. Yes, the points above will have no real bearing on inside / outside IR35, but they'll make you much less attractive to really investigate.
QDOS can package up the details in a tidy response, beyond that, dice roll.Comment

According to Qdos the fact that you've signed the contract (assessed as an IR35 "PASS" by Qdos themselves) in good faith is irrelevant. According to their own interpretation of these terms, It is solely based on what the client will tell you they'll actually agree to. And if the client doesn't, then 8 and 9 is indeed invalid according to what they've told me.
I should also add that Qdos's user account has posted quite misleading comments on these forums in the past about the substitution clause in particular, claiming the opposite, that it is just "to the best of your knowledge". But when you do get on the phone to them you'll hear a different story.Comment
