    Paradise Papers - Mrs Brown's Boys

    Source BBC:

    "Three stars of hit BBC sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys diverted more than £2m into an offshore tax-avoidance scheme, Paradise Papers documents show.

    Patrick Houlihan and Martin and Fiona Delany transferred their fees into companies in Mauritius and sent money back as loans.

    Similar tax avoidance schemes have been subject to investigation and challenges by HMRC in recent years.
    The actors have not responded to the BBC's requests for comment.

    Houlihan told the Irish Times he had joined the scheme after receiving professional advice without fully understanding it."

    I hope the APNs are on the way. Or do you think the rich and famous will be exempt?

    APN's will be on their way as this is going to be the basis of the retrospective changes needed to get round the Rangers tribunal decision - mark my words...

      The biggest mystery is how they got £2m in the first place for that piece of crap show...

        Unless the scheme was disclosed, then no APN will be on its way.

          I hope they've been flagged up for the 2019 loan charge then
