He means buy buying a standard product. Not making yourself look like a complete tit in court. Roger irrelevant goes *wibble*.

FTFY

exactly and this is the message I've been putting out for years. Make yourself awkward (legally!) and HMRC will look elsewhere.

Surely the only purpose of tax insurance is to ensure you are seen by HMRC as too much like a tough target, so they just move on to someone else...

Abbey Tax passed my contract as compliant and cover me for tax investigations. I have a contractual right of substitution. However, there are conditions, the main one being that if they feel that there is no chance of defending an HMRC investigation, they will not support a claim. Tax investigation insurance is a bit unusual as it in effect covers you retrospectively, which other normal insurances don't. So they have to add caveats.

Go with Merkel Tax (was Abbey Tax)if you can't get QDOS to cover you.

Thanks. I can get cover with QDOS for enquiry insurance but not to cover the tax bill if I lose. Think I read somewhere they have never paid out so maybe not such a big deal...

Or IPSE, who also use Merkel and don't impose conditions other than the reasonable one of the case having a realistic chance of a win.

Is it just me or does anyone else see any Irony/Stupidity in QDOS calling out CEST as not fit for purpose when their Tax Liability insurance does the exact same thing? basically for both CEST and the insurance any hint of no ROS/cover. I can't get the Insurance without a cast iron guarantee of ROS even though QDOS pass the contract as compliant... Yet again everyone leaves the PSC holding the baby...

HMRC’s IR35 tool, CEST, simply isn’t fit for purpose...
