Compliant with IR35

[malvolio]

When \ if the new broom of IR35 v2 kicks in, expect even pcg's insurance to be heavily curtailed and less encompassing if HMRC start racking up the victories.

Rubbish. Why would they do that?

Insurer's are only ever in a market while they can turn a profit or see a return to profitability in the very short term.

Abbey have been with PCG since day one...

If HMRC's new emphassis on IR35 proves fruitful then, by commercial dictat alone, insurers will look very closely at who they will insure and the conditions attached to their policies.

Some insurers in the marketplace give an almost carte blanche agreement to cover contractors for IR35. That simply wont be sustainable if HMRC make sweeping gains \ successes in winning their investigations.

Possibly true. However half the point of PCG membership is (a) undestanding the rules correctly and (b) having enough impartial advice and guidance on tap to obey the rules, which haven't changed in the slightest. Therefore, for PCG members, the risk profile hasn't changed. ANd, as I keep saying, PCG doesn't insure anyone, it pays for its members' professional representation costs. And as an aside, I haven't heard of any PCG members being sent letters on the back of the new super improved regime; and there's 21,000 of them.

pcg wont be immune either. I mean, they've already been taken to the cleaners over 'new' IR35 when they thought they'd get major concessions.

On what basis do you make that assertion? You can't plan for a duplicitous government department acting in isolation. That war is a long way from over; along with several others...

And I note you didn't answer my question.

.... I thought so, but from your comment, you obviously didn't. So, at the risk of being tediously explicit, let's try again. If you deal directly with the client then you send your T's and C's to the client. If you deal with the client's agent then you send your T's and C's to the clients agent.

Just how difficult is this?

BB is pointing out that the agent will ignore your t&cs unless you have a niche skill.

Prehaps you could continue on BB's behalf?

How does he know?
Has he ever tried?
If that is the case, why does he deal through clients agents?

He will come back and answer you shortly.

Personally agents and the few clients I have accept my contract amendments. Then again they don't like arguing with a solicitor.

Are you speaking as his agent?
