    I may be missing something here, his post is IPSE related. I am referring to specific IR35 investigation cover and backpayment if ever asked to cough up. Didn't see this in his post. Can anyone clarify my query?

    IR35 Insurance Permanent Role

    Thanks all. Without de-railing this thread into a discussion around IPSE, what about IR35 insurance specifically? Should I renew this which is quite a hefty amount, given I am going permie (reluctantly yet relievedly), or can I end the subscription there?
