    Abbey Tax passed my contract as compliant and cover me for tax investigations. I have a contractual right of substitution.

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.

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...

    Qdos Statement below..

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