Tax, legal and counselling helpline for members of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing

18/06/2018

Through its relationship with Hospital & Medical Care Association (HMCA), a major provider of membership benefits exclusively to associations and members, BINDT is able to offer its members a legal, tax and counselling helpline.
The helpline is offered by ARAG, a specialist in legal expenses insurance and products both nationally and within Europe. Experienced advisers can provide both business members and individual professionals advice on any matter falling under the laws of the current EU.

Legal advice
Experienced advisors can help to explain any complex legal matters in everyday language. They have specialist knowledge in the areas of employment, regulatory matters, personal injury, medical negligence, property, contract disputes and consumer law, among others.
Advice about the law in England and Wales is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Legal advice for other countries is available from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public and bank holidays. Members calling outside of these times will receive a callback.

Personal and commercial tax advice
ARAG’s tax advice helpline provides confidential advice on any tax matters affecting UK tax affairs. This includes advice on self-assessment, income and corporation tax, tax credits, stamp duty, capital gains, inheritance tax and many other taxation issues.
For business owners and members, advice about VAT and PAYE compliance is also available. Legal and tax advice calls are recorded for training and quality control purposes.

Counselling helpline
ARAG will provide members, member companies and staff with a confidential counselling service over the phone. Experienced counsellors are available to discuss any issue and offer completely confidential support and advice at any time.
Counsellors can help callers to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship breakdown and bereavement. They can provide information about relevant professional or voluntary bodies that offer practical help and support. This service does not provide face-to-face counselling sessions.
