Which offshore scheme provider?

Good luck with finding one that is.

Just google 'SEBTs', the list to avoid is endless.

It's not so much that they aren't liked, it's that many are now effectively illegal.

**Old Greg** · 11 July 2012, 14:33

They are all best avoided.

Does anyone on here use these schemes?

I would only be looking at joining one short term.

I have decided I want to join a self employed benefits trust scheme, I know they are not liked by a lot of people on here but I would like to know if their are any providers of these schemes that are best avoided.

Any recommendations would be grateful?

If you want the worry of having HMRC having you in their sights, go right ahead. As someone caught up in the BN66 offshore solution, my advice is steer well clear and go limited. The worry isnt worth it.

What exactly helped you decide to do this? Did you do some research in to it first or just like the figures.

I'm sure that the OP has done this already and decided that the risk is worth it.

We are all grownups around here.
