some businesses are using [offshore scheme providers] to avoid paying employment taxes for their UK based workers. This is not fair and undermines compliant businesses. These structures are increasingly being marketed as a legitimate way to avoid Eer's Nic's. The consultation sets out plans to provide a level playing field so that UK businesses that are playing by the rules cannot be undercut by those who are involved in avoidance arrangements.
The document implies that any company purporting to 'employee' the contract (as with an offshore umbrella company) they will fall within the new legislation.
