    it's nice to see that in Legal they are discussing losing upto 300k and contractors v's HMRC, in general the discussion is limited to stiffy's in interviews..

        Poor old RC. Today we have visions of him shopping in his dressing gown then going home to relieve himself before being interviewed. I wonder if his wife reads this.

          I was warned by my accountant years ago about such schemes and loopholes, that the government can change rules and want the money. Anyone entering such a scheme without advice from various legal sources were foolish. Without wanting to pi$$ anyone off, we should pay our fair share of tax. If the returns offered by schemers are too good to be true, they probably are and there is a risk it'll fail. If I did personally get involved in such a scheme, I'd be well aware of the risks and would have saved the extra money just in case. I can't for example feel that sorry for someone who has banked 300k more than they would have under 'fair tax law' and squandered it doing their house up and would now face bankrupcy if they had to pay up.

          Risks taken sometimes don't pay off.

          So the BN66 stuff is as much BS as talking about stiffys at interviews IMO.

                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
