Cover for tax investigation, facts?

[Qdos Contractor]

Are you saying you cannot comment on the liabilities portion or that none occured?

Exactly how many cases have you defended that were wholly claimable on the TLC policy ?

I'm saying none occurred.

We've defended over 1,300 status cases, the majority of which will have held some form of insurance (either TLC or a more basic level of cover). Off hand I don't know what the split is.

Same kind of numbers from Abbey as well. Which only supports my long-standing assertion that people are insuring for something that almost certainly won't happen. Comforting, but expensive...

Thanks Malovio - Does this insurance policy cover standard routing tax inspections (which are carried out at random)

I am less worried about IR35 but much more concerned that I will be picked at random for investigation into tax affairs and have to provide lots of information - The costs of this can easily be 1000's

PCG Plus (£220 + VAT) covers you for any tax-related investigation, full stop, including the new business records checks. Add in freebies such as tax and legal helplines, agency default cover and jury service compensation (plus a bundle of other stuff and discounts), it really is a no-brainer.

Hence why I went for PCG+ earlier this year. I've been contracting for several years but never had insurance cover until recently - for the sake of £200 or so, it really is a no brainer. Regardless of IR35, you want to have professional representation for the everything else.
