Has anyone ever heard of a contractor who has had to claim against it ? Is seemingly very small chance of having to claim against it worth the minimum £200 pa cost ? Does having it point one further outside of IR35 ?

IR35 or no IR35 if you need it get it. If you don't then do you think that purchasing an item your company does not need is the act of a competent director or just a bum on seat contractor trying to hide behind a £200 policy. -

GBP200 minimum! Hell, that's cheap! Mine costs (in Australia) more than AU$5k (GBP2K) per year. It's just part of the cost of doing business.

The nature of my business requires "real" PII. That costs me £5k/year so count yourself lucky. Mind you, the client sites I visit make bombs (legitimately I might add, we're not talking basement kitchenettes in Forest Gate).Comment

I've seen a contractor unbox a brand new server and promptly drop it. In those circumstances the client could demand you replace it. In this case it still worked, albeit with some slight dints and scratches.Comment
