MontP cannot be aligned with, or support, our lobbying group. We are a 'victims' group paying for professional support in pursuit of our grievance. We are taking on the 'Establishment' and need all the help we can get.
MontP have a completely separate perspective as the developer and provider of a tax planning scheme that has been retrospectively labelled illegal.
I do however agree that it would be useful to have a client list from MontP from which NTRT could publicise the level of exposure that non-members currently have and may not be aware of.
That client list however is probably protected data and not readily available outside of MontP.Comment

We're asking for £300 towards legal costs. In many cases HMRC are demanding 6 figures.
Don't trust NTRT? (Even though it's not for profit run by fellow victims)
At the end of the day, it's their choice.Last edited by DonkeyRhubarb; 16 March 2015, 14:53.Comment

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we have a cut-off date where we don't take any more members.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Scheme Users
I get the above comments, however, how can you ban people from joining NTRT, if they were never aware of it in the first place?
Likewise I stand to loose all, and contribute to NTRT too, and have continually bombarded my MP.
Us Oilfield Trash (pet name), have never been involved in these IT forums like you guys down South, in that you all set up the forum etc., and appear to know of each other, which is not the case with us. MontP did come up here and presented their tax planning arrangements to the interested parties. However, you will find that most contractors in the O&G move around, 6 weeks here, 3 months there, 5 months overseas etc., etc., following the Exploration and Drill Bit, hence don't stay in touch the same.
However, were they aware of this I am sure that most would want to contribute to this grave injustice, as I said I am reaching out to those that I know were in the scheme, but there is a lot out with my sphere, so there must be a way to get in touch with them!Comment

Reaching Out
So, we (NTRT members) need to find a good way of reaching out then.
Obviously MP's client list is not going to be available so it may be down to us attempting to make contact to our contractor buddies of the past, pulling their heads out of the sand and pointing them in the right direction.
From memory the scheme was pretty much word-of-mouth so we probably all know at least one or two others who were in the scheme. If half of us found just one non-member and they sign up, it would be a fantastic result.Comment

Banner
DR, To be honest you might need to do something like that, and I would also include, Africa, Middle East, Asia, North & South America, Russia etc....
not everyone can be bothered scouring the net after a 12 hour shift!Comment
