21st March, 2000 - Update on PCG Services

We seem to be adding new services for members on an almost daily basis at the moment � so here is a review of what is available.

Newly Available;

Professional indemnity, employer's liability and public liability insurance
This has been arranged by Kevin Miller with brokers Blackmore Borley and is now available for members as an optional extra.

Here

Members can either register an interest online now and buy later or contact the broker direct.

This is an additional, optional service for members, which you must pay for. Details of Kevin�s original investigation were posted in the Noticeboard in January

Coming Soon;

Tax Expense Insurance
From 5th April 2000 all members will automatically receive this cover � you will need to renew your membership during the year to continue the coverage. Further details to follow. Essentially, the cover will be designed to offer you advice and protection in the event of an IR inspection.

We are also setting up a tax help line in partnership with Mentor.

IR35 Manual
We will complete the full version of our manual in the coming weeks and post to the website for download by members. This document will be continually updated and we expect it to become the contractor�s �bible� for IR35

Already Available:

PCG draft sample contracts

Please also read information notes.

Legal Helpline

Portal
Available now for members to enter their Profiles. Watch this space for further details and news of the official Portal launch.

Finally we will be setting up scripts for membership renewal before the end of March for those of you who want to pay in this years expenses.

Expect the pace of improvements to continue as the new committees get stuck in to their tasks!
