The thing is that i do at least £10,000 worth of work as a direct result of being in the NIC.So the yearly fee is small change compared to what i would lose if i wasn't in it.

But if there was one body like the gas safe what difference would it make?
 
Not long had my Approved NIC/EIC assessment and had to be QS assessed.This took an extra half a day(on top of the other half a day for the yearly assessment).Just got the bill for the half day charge.......£366!:eek::mad::(

Feel ripped off or what.

Have any of you guys had to pay this fee?
 
Hi the NIC is and always has been a rip off, they charge a maximum price for a very minimal service. They are however very successful at self promotion which is why they seem to be the only ones that the muppets in local authorities require

Hum.... only if you count sponsoring Luton Town FC...... They do nothing for the trade except fill their pockets and top up their pensions.

As for their finances.... its all smoke and mirrors so nobody can see how much they pay themselves - which is what undermines their cause further.
