Edge EBT thread

[squirrel]

Not entirely convinced...

This is my first post here but I have watched with interest from the sidelines for the last few years. I spoke at length with someone at HMRC about APN's, EBTs etc and he said he was surprised that we have not got together to being a class action against Edge to recover the money they fraudulently took off us. He said the company still exists even if it has ceased trading and the directors are still liable.
That would recover about 30% of what we owe HMRC. So we should get this going. We would need to raise some cash to instruct a suitable lawyer. Maybe someone on this thread knows of such a person?

Sounds like the HMRC chap was just trying to divert your attention. He would recommend anything that means we'd just pay them whatever.

It has been discussed before and the general feeling is that it wouldn't work, you'd struggle to get anything off the ground methinks.

A lesson from history.

You took advice from a non tax specialist when you joined a scheme and look where you are.

Now you have advice from a non legal specialist in an area that most law firms will not touch. I'm going to be bold and suggest that the HMRC guy is talking rubbish.

By all means try but you will need deep pockets, endless patience, immaculate records and a smoking gun in the form of a letter from [insert promoter name required] that says they have an HMRC clearance (attached), have discussed your circumstances (detailed in the attached) and can guarantee that the tax treatment is xxxx.

I've never seen one but perhaps I've not been looking in the right place.

Rangers FC ...

What this i'm reading about rangers ... someone posted on previous page ... my understanding was Rangers was being eagerly awaited to be used as test case.

Can anyone please shed more light on the matter?
