I've just had an email from a company called the bediouin group. They advertise not as an umbrella or MSC but maintain through reward schemes etc hey can pay you 85% of your pay. Now I know there are peope out there working hard to discover loopholes in the tax system but I'd be interested to know if it's legit or anyone knows anything about them.

There is no legal, non-risk way of getting 85% of your gross. It'll be an offshore EBT scheme which are not what you should be considering. -
if these schemes are really that dodgy how come there aren't posters and adverts on every page banner / street corner warning the unwary?Last edited by MPwannadecentincome; 2 May 2009, 10:28.This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

Who's going to fund that?
If someone's naive enough to go into a scheme such as this blindly then they've only got themselves to blame.
If they've got the good sense to ask on a forum like this then they'll get the info they need.Comment

85% + Fully disclosed, fully compliant, working stlye.
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. Bedouin's agency contract chain is within the United Kingdom and we are not an Managed Service Company. We are happy to answer any further questions in this thread and welcome the opportunity of this forum. Please don't hesitate to post your questions.Comment

85 per cent take home from companies
dear all,
these companies have discovered a loophole that exists currently. there is research by hmrc going on right now. they pretend that you are paid as a 'loan' that is never to be reclaimed, however there is no small print in existence to show you wont have to pay it back. if these companies get in trouble with the tax man in the next 20 years, they will call in their loans.. and all the money that you didnt pay in taxes that is their responsibility will be ... collected from you.
these people .. will by this time be in south america.
with all intents not to be rude to any company mentioned on this site...
listen to the sales peoples accents.. most of these companies are based in east london..and are needing to sell the product.. rather than the market wanting it.... hence you havent heard of it.
be aware.. your saving now.. could eventually be the end of your finances when hmrc close the loophole.Comment
