Unfortunately I really dislike B'Liar the warmonger so I hope the tax avoidance unravels. -

Depends how dodgy the avoidance is. ISAs are not dodgy at all. But expenses through a LTD could well be legit or they might be evasion, depending on what you are expensing.
20 years ago i was at at a gig and many of the contractors were signing up to an extremely dodgy deprecating currency loan scheme.
They all though it was legit tax avoidance. I stayed well clear.
It's either legit avoidance, or it's illegal avoidance and hence evasion.
So, if the expense is 'dodgy' avoidance then it's fraud. Simple as.

I don't believe you made that up, so you either got lucky with a typo or pinched it
Have used it for years, check my posts, to mock Hector's attempt to merge the two when he wants to. Back when IR35 affected me. Not sure I nicked it.

As the BBC article points out, it's very normal to transfer property within a holding company. Tony claims the seller insisted on doing it this way (who knows if that's true).
The only awkward part is that he specifically pointed out this case about 20 years ago as one that was bad and should be stopped.Leave a comment:
