When you say contracts, do you mean many contracts/renewals in one engagement with multiple clients. As IR35 in on a contract by contract basis I'd imagine they would only take the one engagement on that's caught their eye. If you moved to a new client with a new contract and get insurance it surely can't count. If you take membership halfway through say a 3 year gig with multiple renewals/contracts then I don't know. They shouldn't take it on as they couldn't control the original contract so shouldn't be exposed to the risk... but they could be happy to take it on anyway.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

ICBW, but I think both IPSE and QDOS cover you for tax investigation insurance while you are a member/customer, even if you weren't a member/customer when you undertook the contract, and stop cover when you stop being a member/customer.
Edit: and some accountants include PEI cover too - I know inTouch does.Comment

WE may be missing a trick here. consider...
The client says you are IR35 fodder, and (their agency) taxes you accordingly. You however are sure you are not, from your knowledge of the rules and in defiance of the client's view and the tools assessment (which is almost certainly wrong in law anyway). So you take the client to the EAT and claim employment rights, since the client is saying you are under their full direction and control and providing a personal service, ergo you have all the hallmarks of an employee so why not any of the rights. The client don't want you to win that one, so they are now forced to prove that you are outside IR35.
Would that work...?
As for IPSE cover, that applies unconditionally to all members and all contracts. They will not cover you for a pre-existing investigation, obviously (although they did once take on such a case in the early days to prove a point of law...) and their insurers will not defend a case which is guaranteed inside IR35 (although that hasn't happened yet to my knowledge). So IPSE membership or some equal level of PEI would appear to be even more of a no brainer than it is now.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Guys, need suggestions/views/advise on this scenario.
Currently working for PS sector in current role for past 1 year. How about leaving the current role on 24th March (paid weekly), take a break for month or two. Come back to same organisation with new contract via same/new agency? Does that raise a flag?
ThanksComment
