Example IR35 Contract

[chef]

As long as you use the accountancy package wholly and exclusively for business purposes then it's not BIK. i.e IF you ever need an accounts package to do the membership of your local club accounts or for your wife's accounts then of course you'd buy another accounting package to abide by the terms and conditions of the license that it applies to wouldn't you? therefore PCG membership is not BIK but an expensable item even if it includes an accounting package the same way that paying your accountant is expendable whether or not they give you an accounting package as part of their deal. simples.

PCG membership may not be claimable as a professional subscription for CT purposes, but what's to stop you from claiming it as an expense against CT as accountancy/legal fees?

PCG membership may not be claimable as a professional subscription for CT purposes, but what's to stop you from claiming it as an expense against CT as accountancy/legal fees?

Because it isn't one? Because a director is legally required to be honest?

Actually you don't get the insurance anyway: PCG insures itself against the cost of supplying professional support to its members. And PCG membership fees cover an awful lot more than IR35 investigation insurance anyway.
