MY PI/PL/EL insurances are up at the end of this month, my next contract renewal is 5 months away, do I bother renewing them straight away or wait until I next need to show evidence of them? Lets face it the only reason we fork out for them is because evidence of holding them is required when we sign a contract, on ones ever claimed on them so its the equivalent of throwing 300 odd quid out of the window every year. Thoughts?

I prefer to have it, especially as I usually work with live systems.
I would also suggest in not keeping them running it could be a hole in an IR35 defence.
