Public Liability

This policy is essential in ensuring a contractor’s complete peace of mind. What would happen if injury or death was caused to a member of the public through your actions? Have you ever considered the potential costs of 3rd party property damage? From just £46.80 per annum, Public Liability Insurance can protect against claims of this nature. Besides being a good business indicator, PL is usually required in most contracts before work can commence.

Employers Liability

If your Ltd company employs anyone other than a director who owns at leats 50% of share capital, you are legally required to carry this Employers Liability Insurance. It covers you for claims whereby an employee has suffered death or injury as a resut of your negligent actions as employer, including defence costs.  The £46.80 per annum is but a small price to pay should mistake or misfortune occur.

Freelancer Tax Protection

Even the most compliant contractors are still at risk of an IR35 enquiry, even in their first year of trading.  This can start out as something as simple as a business records check.

Without the correct insurance, contractors could be looking at siginificant financial losses. For the policy’s small price of £117, Freelancer Tax Protection will provide the necessary defence to deal with a claim from day one to its closure.

Tax Liability Cover

IR35 is a potentially devastating prospect to any professional contractor, and just because you think that you are IR35 compliant, that doesn’t mean you are safe from an enquiry. HMRC are increasing the number of IR35 enquiries, subjecting contractors to increased scrutiny. In many cases HMRC go directly to your client when carrying out their enquiries, which could potentially harm your status and could reflect badly on any case that may occur. From as little as £360, this comprehensive insurance will not only cover your legal and representation costs, but also your Tax, NIC Liabilities, interest penalties and fines.  Potential liabilities in respect of an IR35 enquiry could easily equate to tens of thousands of pounds. IR35 can be the bane of a contractor’s profession, but Tax Liability Cover can give any contractor the complete peace of mind that they are protected in event of enquiry.

Contractor Sickness Cover

How would you cope with your finances in the event of illness, injury or disability? As an independent contractor you will not have the security of employment like benefits such as sick pay or paid leave, therefore with financial obligations such as mortgages and bills, the costs could be overwhelming.

With the assurance of payments up to £3,000 every month during illness, Contractor Sickness Cover can really be a lifesaving policy.

I switched over to QAccounting a few months ago and haven't looked back. I get to speak to my own client manager and accountant, the prices were the best I had seen, and I paid exactly what it said online (no extra costs). Very happy with QA.
