Plus the 85% you get to keep means you're handing over 15% of your income to a pack of cowboys based offshore who will own you while you take all the risk. If you've got any sense you can get your tax bill to around 20% anyway and do it legitamately.

Also I lived with a girl once who was going out with a Moroccan Bedouin. Apparently the majority of Bedouin men lose their virginity to Donkeys.. just an interesting fact for the day.

So, you shagged a bird that shagged a bloke that shagged a donkey. Eeyore!

nah we were sharing a flat only.. Although I did shag her mate who also had a moroccan boyfriend and lost his virginity in the same way, so guilty as charged..

The Bedu (-in is a redundant second plural) are a people in the Arabian Peninsula. Perhaps you mean Berber?

Offshore cowbows, no argument there

You're correct Sir, I meant Berbers..

Definitely donkey-shaggers. IMHO.

Everything sounds dodgy

I started a contract in the UK, I'm not British and I by the end of the tax year I will not spent more than 120 days in the country.

First of all I do not even know whether I have to pay taxes in the UK or in other place, but all the solutions I'm considering sounds dodgy:

- Sanzar --> sounds a little bit strange to pay 0% taxes on the profit of the partnership, and that 0% to be accepted as paid in the UK.

- AFS --> claiming expenses for them, and keeping the OPS

- Norla --> EBT thing....

- Montpelier --> ...

So do not know what to do....I'm considering put all the money off-shore and run

Bedouin

I've been using Bedouin for just under a year - no problems to date. I've dealt with the owner before that - she was a director of Charterhouse plc before and seems to know her stuff. Don't know any more than that tho.

Dear Forum users,

This is our response to the misinformed thread currently in discussion.

Bedouin provides it's participant employees with the opportunity to select a working style with a benefits package that best suits their circumstances and provides for an average of 85% receipts to gross earnings for the Company when we place our personnel on-hire. All our on-hire consultants are employees of Bedouin and our benefits packages are fully disclosed, fully HMRC compliant and tax paid. Employees may elect to participate in our group Employee Benefit Trust if they so choose.

Did you miss the change in the law that makes the tax benefits of EBTs nil?

You're not likely to have any problems either. Not for a couple of years anyway and then the brown stuff will hit the fan. And by that time you'll have spent all the tax you have saved and wont be able to pay the demand the Reveniue hit you with.

Hello Mr tricky, speaking up in favour of some "too-good-to-be-true" scheme from the vantage point of your 1 post.

As the man who fell off the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building said as he passed the 10th floor, "OK so far".

Has it been given a HMRC scheme number? If so then expect your Tax Return to be investigated...
