    basically it sounds like Uptons created an investment scheme and it turns out they didnt have FSA authorisation?

    There is no word about any foul play to do with the actual scheme?

    My service i am receiving is good however will this open clients of Uptons up to the gaze of HMRC for further investigation into anything else including IR35 matters?

      Hmrc

      Extremely remote given the methods of target selection and that the scheme was not related to any tax avoidance issues.

                I wonder if the accountants mentioned recommend CA because of the fantastic service they offer (and they do) or they get a fantastic kick back...

                    Cater Allen give 0.25% interest to introducers based on their customers' balances. Many accountants, like ourselves, have arranged with Cater Allen that this interest is added to our clients' accounts to improve their interest by 0.25% rather than pocketing it ourselves. If your accountant doesn't offer this rebate, ask them or move to one that does!

                      have been with cater allen (previosly called flemings) for approx 13yrs
                      one of the best customer service i've experienced, before I started using
                      their online services I would call regularly using phone banking and usually
                      got through to 4-5 regular girls on the call centre, had some good friendly
                      conversations with them, miss that now with everything done online.
