    Where's the catch?

    These guys promise 15% total tax under their, presumably umbrella, arrangement.

    Where's the catch?

        While I am put off by thei inability to spell 'usual', I am reassured by the £ signs flying out of the laptop screen.

        It's all so confusing.

          Can't spell 'business' either.

            Ah yes, K&B. Had a thread about them not that long ago.

              Loads and loads of references to 'compliance' but no mention of with what and a promise of 90% tax home with no explanation of how.

              You know the old expression 'if it seems too good to be true......................'

                And just to make this clear - I consider anyone joining these types of scheme to be stupid, greedy, venal (look it up), short-sighted idiots who tend to shout the loudest when they discover that they've been stitched up by someone cleverer than them.

                I used to say that I'd point and laugh at them when they come back crying but there's been too many so now I just shove them into the HMRC Enquiry Scheme thread and occasionally watch them like monkeys in a cage.

                The dung-flinging can get quite spectacular when lawyers get involved.

                And unless the OP proves otherwise I consider him a spammer for the website.

                    Oh well said And excellent use of the word 'venal' if I may say so
