    Well, at least one law firm thinks clients should pursue those rather than HMRC. Perhaps the right answer is to pursue neither and just pay up, but after throwing lots of money at fighting HMRC it would make sense to take a poke at scheme makers and people facilitated sale of this tulip.

      It's gong to be fun chasing someone in a tax haven who has disappeared....

          A law firm has found some fools and a possible way of separating some more money from them. What else would you expect them to say..

            Are there precedents where such well funded challenges totall failed? It's worth fighting, even if it just gets key people involved in scheme making bankrupt or wanted for arrest all around the world. Don't get mad at HMRC, get even with scheme makers. This could be the only way to get them to write off loans.
