What the law actually says
- •Lapsed Public Liability or Employer's Liability insurance is a strict-liability offence under the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 (£2,500/day fine for missing EL).
- •Out-of-date PAT, LOLER and PUWER records can't be retrofitted. Any incident in the gap is on you.
- •Most CIS, VAT and self-assessment penalties escalate at 3, 6 and 12 months. Catching them at quarter end is the difference between a small fix and a big bill.
