Qdos TLC35 is our revolutionary IR35 insurance, providing total peace of mind for contractors.
TLC35 covers not only representation costs, but also additional tax, NIC, interest and penalties arising from a HM Revenue & Customs enquiry. So, if you are subject to an IR35 enquiry and are subsequently found to be 'caught' by the legislation, the policy will cover all resultant fees.
TLC35 includes:
1. Full Qdos representation in the event of:
- A PAYE compliance review
- An IR35 dispute
- A PAYE/NIC dispute
- A VAT dispute
- Any HMRC aspect enquiry
- Any HMRC full enquiry
2. IR35 tax/NIC liabilities up to £50,000, £75,000 or £100,000
3. Interest
4. Penalties
5. Backdated tax years fully covered
The insurance is run on a 'claims made' basis. This means that the policy will cover claims which arise and are notified to our claims department whilst cover is in force. Retrospective tax years are insured.
Section 660A/Income Shifting Add-on
For an additional premium of £252 per annum you can also include cover for tax, interest and penalties as a result of a Section 660A enquiry. This option can be selected on the application form.
How much cover do I need?
We obviously offer higher limits of indemnity if required, but it’s sometimes difficult to work out what you actually need. In deciding on your level of cover you should consider:
- How long you have been contracting
- Whether you’ve worked at the same client for a prolonged period of time
- What your average daily rate has been
You can use our handy calculator to get a rough idea of what your tax liability could be. Note that this does not include interest and penalties, which will generally make up a sizeable chunk of any liability.
If you have any queries regarding this policy please do not hesitate to contact the Qdos freelance team.
