I don't think that Lisa needs to scaremonger. She doesn't scare people out of going Ltd if that's what they want.
And she asked permission before posting this thread."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

As Lisa stated she is effected by these schemes as she sees customers ask for information, look at potential difference in money and take the (unexplained) risk. Especially as the more unscrupulous providers are explicitly not requested DOTAS numbers and trying to hide everything from HMRC.
Finally, I have to ask why you are so against someone trying to put people off joining these schemes. Especially as you seem to have used them in the past. I would have thought you would have learnt your lesson by now, if not, I'm sure the forthcoming accelerated immediate payment letter will focus your mind.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I have used an EBT scheme in the past and certainly would not use one again or recommend anyone else to use one.
Regarding accelerated payment letters focusing my mind, I am not heavily exposed and am in the process of settling the relatively small taxable amount so APNs will not affect me personally.
I would advise you not to make assumptions in future.Comment

As for assumptions the only one I made, when replying to you, was that you are a foolish ass which your post above merely confirms...Last edited by eek; 26 May 2014, 19:03.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
