    a.) It may be necessary, to protect your interests, for us to instruct solicitors or other professional people, on your behalf. Where we consider such services necessary we will pay the cost. The services provided attract Value Added Tax.

    b.) These services are treated as being supplied to a policyholder and not to their insurers. If you are registered for V.A.T. purposes you will be able to recover V.A.T. or a proportion of it.

    c.) If you tell us that you can recover V.A.T. we shall ask the solicitors or other professional person instructed, to send their tax invoice to you when their costs are due. The V.A.T. element should be paid by you and recovered from H.M. Customs and Excise in the usual way.

    d.) We shall pay the balance of the account including any proportion of V.A.T. which you cannot recover.

    If you are registered for V.A.T, please authorise us to instruct solicitors or other professional people, on your behalf (The V.A.T. content of the account is payable by you to the extent that you can recover the tax.)

    Insurers pass information to the Claims and Underwriting Exchange Register, run by Insurance Database Services Ltd (IDS) Ltd and the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register, run by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). The aim is to help us to check information provided and also to prevent fraudulent claims. Under the conditions of your policy, you must tell us about any incident (such as an accident or theft) which may or may not give rise to a claim. We will pass information relating to this incident to the registers.
