Maybe I'm too cynical but I'd be surprised if any of these cases succeed in removing scheme users' liability. It's very hard these days to persuade courts to side with anyone involved in tax avoidance. If Judges can conjure up a way of ruling in favour HMRC, they will!Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

It's frustrating enough that hmrc blackmailed me into settling without ever having proven legally that I owe that money. THen they send me a letter inviting me to apply for a refund and when i do they reject it. Adding insult to injury.
I will almost certainly not appeal as seems not worth it.
I hope one day someone takes these jokers to court and wins based on the fact hMRC never legally proved that the money was owed. This will then open the floodgates for others to get their money back.

I am sure it was yourslef who said at one point (long, long time ago and not verbatim), that HMRC/HMT would not budge on the loan charge when it was set out. Unfortunatley, I don't know if it is me, or since the Forum was spruced up, but I cannot find that exchange of message. Not a dig, or anything like that but, regardless of the outcome, there was a review and it was amended. Just the other side of the coin and if I have the wrong person (because it was definitely said by someone) then obviously I offer my apologies.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

HMRC didn't until MPs / Parliament forced them to.
However, the changes that were made were down to Boris being made PM and him being on record that he would review it if he was. That was mainly due to LCAG work but in the end it was a bit fortunate. Had May/Hammond remained in place there would have been nothing regardless of MPs' pressure. And I probably wouldn't be here to write this. Only just hanging on as it is.Comment

Hence my 'Drop in the ocean' comment. As with all of this mess, it all comes down to personal circumstances.
I cannot for a second believe that any contractor picked a scheme based on the schemes internal workings.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
