It's not surprising they don't give away their secret method. If they did, and it does work then lots of other firms would start offering the same service, and if it doesn't work, those who know why not would quickly spread the word across the internet so anyone doing a Google search (or HMRC looking) would see.
I'm sure some of these schemes do enable people to get paid with minimal tax deducted, but there will be two reasons why:
1) it's really clever tax avoidance (as of course it is says on the tin) and HMRC haven't figured out a way to stop it yet, or more likely.
2) it doesn't legally work, but you don't pay any tax like they tell you to, and you get away with it for a while...in which case it's no different (except with higher admin fees) to simply being paid cash in hand for everything.
If you love risk, and very little worries you, then go for it...otherwise, I'd avoid like the plague.Comment
