IR35 Insurance

I think qdos is the cheapest at the moment - £117 and you get 3 contract reviews, templates and a business hotline as a bonus

Don't know how it compares to PCG, last time I checked that option was much more expensive.

Wow, looks like I got here before Mal.

As he will no doubt remind everyone, PCG membership is much much more than simply insurance - it's nowadays having seated representation in at least 2 government committees and a lot more lobbying. It's support and advice if an agency is messing you about. Its about the community. It's contract templates. Its tax and acountancy advice lines. It's supplier discounts, and much more.

Question on IR35 insurance;

I've used QDOS for my IR35 insurance for a good few years now but I'm thinking of switching to PCG, will the PCG insurance only kick in on contracts in place from when I signed up for them or will they cover me for previous years and other contracts ? I might be wrong but the QDOS insurance only seems to cover me for previous years if I keep on renewing with them so as soon as I don't renew anymore thats it no historical cover. I want to move to PCG but I don't want to end up in the position of having no cover for previous years unless I pay 2 lots of premiumns at the same time ?

My accountant has offered me insurance for about £150. It covers additional costs of tax equiries etc but doesnt cover costs if you get caught.

I'm assuming thats what you get with PCG membership?
