    another tax avoidance scheme - an annuity!

    I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not taking the p**s. Do not touch any "scheme" or "umbrella" company that claims to pay you 90% or 85% of your contract rate. It will be a tax avoidance scam and will lead to endless years of pain and expense. Just go Ltd. or use a proper...

    HMRC enquiry letter for Winchester IQ Contract under section 9a

    Get out of any contractor scheme immediately. You will almost certainly be getting some brown envelopes from HMRC at some point. Switch to a genuine bog standard umbrella or go Ltd, anything else is just not worth the years of aggro it will create.

    BIG GROUP

    If this is a contractor scheme related enquiry (I assume it is due to where you have posted). a) If you are still in any schemes, get out ASAP. As in today. b) Try and contact the provider, if they still exist, they may have initial advice and maybe already dealing with similar requests. c) Get...

    HMRC consultation on penalties for scheme developers/marketers

    I agree to an extent. However the risk of retro Ltd Co action surely goes up everytime HMRC get away with these "consultations".

    HMRC consultation on penalties for scheme developers/marketers

    Or maybe they will just retrospectively strengthen IR35 to stop avoidance in that area, "clarify" how it should have worked.

    What an APN looks like

    I sort of agree, however my APN's are all too real. I don't feel I'm putting my head in the sand for not chasing HMRC and potentially triggering more of the same. Also when do the APN's appear online, is it from when they are issued or when they are due ? I've not seen any online yet, but I...

    What an APN looks like

    Dont go looking for an APN, you really don't want one. Also if HMRC have sent you one, you will certainly know about it at some point as they will start to hassle you in the hope you might pay up.

    Anyone had a visit from HMRC about APNs?

    If this is genuine. Lodge a complaint to HMRC and then look to take it up with the adjudicator. The Adjudicator's Office

    New charge on outstanding disguised remuneration loans

    Not sure where you are getting the feeling that Webberg and Big Group are not for settling with HMRC. I assume that's who this point is aimed at. Big Group stated Aim from their Website. Objectives The primary objective is to arrive at a tax analysis which can be regarded as fair and...

    New charge on outstanding disguised remuneration loans

    Not really a very novel reading then. Just a difference of opinions about what that liability actually consists of. You agree the legislation still conjures up liabilities where there were none before due to enquiry or discovery issues/time barring. Surely that is the key point of this item of...

    New charge on outstanding disguised remuneration loans

    Please could you clarify this point. Are you trying to say that loans drawn in years that are not under enquiry or discovery and now out of time are not going to attract the loan charge ? If so thats not the impression I got from the webinar.

    Tempted to join a new contractor scheme? Ask the following

    Any "Umbrella Company" that offers you 90% take home pay is guarenteed to be a scheme that HMRC will catch up with. Run a mile, don't look back and convince your friends to get out ASAP.
