Reply to: IPSE Contract Review - How much?!

[Lockhouse]

If you have an insurance policy that pays out your tax owed in the event of an IR35 claim against your company you may need to get each extension vetted as well as each new contract in order to maintain your cover and ensure there's no change in the working relationship.

I was thinking unlimited as like forever.

Forever, forever, ever, forever, ever?

Per year?

If, as "most" people say on here, "most" contracts are offered at an initial 6 months and then "most" contracts are extended at least once, then it IS per contract - "mostly"

Why not, the IPSE offering is on a per contract basis, and is £340 + VAT per contract if you want a 24 hour turnaround time.

Damn that's expensive!

Really PC?

I know we're all supposed to be flush, but I'm sure not even you would think it's on a per contract basis

Yes

I have to say I was surprised at the cost. I use Bauer & Cottrell Contractor Guardian. Unlimited reviews for £199+VAT or £299+VAT and they negotiate.

Yes, you get it cheaper coming through IPSE: why is that a surprise given that IPSE will aim to provide a steady pipeline of work for no effort? Same logic as LIDL being cheaper than your local farm shop.

Nope, I don't think it's particularly sensible to have two sets of IPSE prices depending on the port of entry. LIDL aren't selling professional services. But, whatever. I know that Abbey Tax provide a good service and that's really all I care about in this context.

I expect this will be completed via AbbeyTax:

IR35

For what it's worth, I've solicited IR35/legal reviews from several of companies in the past and AbbeyTax do provide a first rate review, much more detailed than some other well-known companies that offer an equivalent "in-depth" review IMHO...

Ditto with their sister company, Accountax.

Oh, and there does seem to be some discrepancy in the pricing on the two pages, i.e. £160 for a non-IPSE member via IPSE, versus £185 via the Abbey Tax website. Odd because they've updated the name to IPSE on the Abbey Tax website, so I guess the page was updated relatively recently.

Yes, it's via Abbey Tax.

You can now go to Abbey Tax direct and pay £249 or you can go to Abbey Tax via IPSE (as a non-IPSE member) and pay £160 for the same service.
