Just come from a session with an insurer. They've got a new product to insure those working outside IR35 via PSC, across the entire supply chain. i.e. the policy can be purchased by anyone - contractors, agents, or end clients - and everyone in the supply chain is covered. They're trying to position agents to do the status determinations for clients (via their IR35 partner), and back the decision with insurance.
They'll only (obvs) insure you if you have an outside IR35 determination (doesn't have to be via CEST). If your determination is done by one of their approved partners (there's many) the policy gets even juicer.
Sounds like they could remove the risk of outside IR35 contractors out of the supply chain and could unblock blanket anti-PSC policies.
Thoughts?
