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?

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

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.

If these schemes really are above board and legit, home (sic.) come there aren't posters and adverts on every page banner / street corner promoting them?

And why aren't 85% (or more) of contractors using their services?

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.

there is no small print in existence to show you wont have to pay it back.

Exactly, because if there was, it wouldn't be a loan and you would be taxed on it.

Don't touch with a bargepole.
