That is definetly true - there was no mention of interest in the presentation.

This is very confusing. If the scheme started in 2001 and the first tax returns were investigated for that year in 2003, why the heck with MTM continue allowing new members to join (like Brillopad in 2006) without warning them they would be investigated?

Surely, once a scheme is being investigated the risk is greatest to the contractor, until the operation is proven legit.

I am not sure if I was told the scheme was under investigation or not. But I was told it was not in court yet. And I was told montpelier would fight it all the way.

I am going to montpelier London office today to find out about the new scheme that started this year - and discuss some other stuff. I doubt the old scheme will come up - not much point...

Its also worth noting that some members apparently have paid the Montpellier fees, whilst others don't pay until the investiagtions are closed - some 5% ? - Its as if they new t might fail

It never ceases to amaze me how people who know NOTHING about the scheme can comment, and think it's ok to be so completly wrong.

been thinking about our situation and had a bit of a reailty check. Now its starting to calm back down I realised that I for one have always expected this to happen and we have known all along HMRC would challenge it. So it shouldnt really come as a surprise and reason to panic. We have to let nature take its course now...

Oi, unfair! Just because I don't like the whole idea of these schemes doesn't mean I won't support anyone trying to put one over on Gay Gorgon's rottweilers... Just don't expect sympathy from me if you lose

I thought we were giving people the wrong idea about contractors?
