If HMRC come after you for tax, you're going to have to pay not only the tax, but you're also out your £15k

The vast majority of the money paid by these schemes is indeed 'gone', as it does not offset UK taxation which you might be found to be liable for.
montpelier fees are 10% - I also pay about £5k in tax/NI.

even if MTM lose the overall payout will be less than IR35. Admittedly I could do better than IR35 with a limited - MTM is a risk.
