QDOS used to be with the PCG but were later replaced by Abbey Tax . No idea why, I have always found QDOS to be the more helpful of the two.

I just hope I never have to need those services! But nice to know I have cover (and I belong to the PCG too).

Many thanks

No, nothing to do with the PCG. The Freelance Club is an annual membership that various benefits to contractors. Most use it for the 3 IR35 contract assessments. You get it free with any insurance policy, but it can be purchased separately for £40.

This is interesting.

If it's a standard IT contracting clause, then see what B&C or Qdos can make of it in a contract review. Can't believe that it's going to be more than egos.
