    Someone called me last month. when I explained the impact of BN66 on the people on that thread and the consequences of his work on the lives of others he really, really wasn't happy with me.

    I did think mentioning the BN66 suicide would have been enough for him to stop trying to sell the scheme but he foolishly carried on.

          Someone offered me something called the Aikido defence or something not long ago. 100% - 8% to a fighting fund, so 92% in the mits. Seems to be something currently legal, but accountants wanted something back in case it went to court.

          Did enough to scare me off.

            120% is entirely achievable.

            All income is converted into a Director's loan to an offshore account. You provide nil returns to the VAT man and keep your bags packed and your passport in your jacket pocket.

              163% is equally possible. Its an EBT which means that you don't need to pay out to the person what they pay in.

              Simply by paying me using both the money I and others have paid in they can meet their promised figure while demonstrating

              1)that the scheme was not risk free,
              2)is a fully valid scheme where what is paid in doesn't correspond with the amount paid out

              and that I have the cash available to cover the inevitable eventual rogering from HMRC.

                1000% is equally possible, use the money to buy a balaclava and a shot gun, head into your local bank.......

                  Just had a phone call from a newbie - obviously inside IR35 - wanting to know why he shouldn't join a scheme where he takes home 90%. Apparently 'rich people' and Google do it so why shouldn't he

                    Jesus!

                    This is why we need to keep highlighting these schemes.

                      Do you get paid for shopping people to HMRC. If so let him and pass on the details in a months time.
