HMRC list of dodgy tax avoidance schemes

[cojak]

It sounds like an ‘orange’ umbrella described in this article https://www.contractoruk.com/news/00...ce_scheme.html

Basically, it once again falls to the contractor to pick the PAYE option of these shysters.

Nope - PAYE Services Ltd definitely fell in the Red category.. (was discussing the exact definition with Seb yesterday)...

Oh I know the answer there - but sadly that's not for public consumption....

Shall we just say there is a reason why I used "audited", note the quotation marks, and not the word audit..

Easyway Umbrella Limited. was added on 27th July (thought I'd posted it last week).

It's another stupid one - pay minimum wage - loan you the rest...

[eek]

2 more today

Apricot Umbrella Ltd

Minimum wage rest provided by an "Annuity"

Countrywide Partners Ltd

Minimum wage again with the rest via a loan from an overseas (Cyprus) Company..

[eek]

Another 3

DalesPay Limited - minimum wage and rest from an offshore company.

ABC Umbrella - minimum wage and "Annuity" payments.

Payeworx as covered https://forums.contractoruk.com/umbr...-payeworx.html

Features the IoM and your limited company. The curious bit is given the scheme was known in 2019 why are HMRC referencing the 2022 Finance Act..

SmartPay which is an old fashion IoM scheme so is covered by 20+ year old laws...
