Yep, a perfectly reasonable aspect to consider and judgement to make. However, a totally different position to that taken by the individual (or maybe larger entity) trying to scare others into a particular action with his sad act.
So, Webberg, your vision of the BG does not rule out the litigation route, or joining forces with others that are "well advanced" down that route?
I wasn't able to attend the Webinar, so you may have covered this topic.
Maybe some have already paid out a shed full of money for poor advice? Maybe some have already paid exorbitant fees for the ambulance chasers? Maybe, as a result, some are just being cautious and fearful of pissing yet more money away again? Some might just need a little more evidence, or...
There has to be some (I couldn't put a number on it) that were PCG (in those days) members, who freaked at IR35 and went into a scheme and then went back to PCG / IPSE membership.
Webberg, I'm one of the sceptics....for the moment. Most of my scepticism comes from my experiences during this saga and my belief that I haven't received value for (significant) money from tax specialists. Obviously, I will not tar the entire industry with the same brush and I have to take some...
I share some of your concerns.
There have been others on these forums who have sold their 'wares' and taken a lot of flak as a result, some of it justified. I can think of accusations such as "ambulance chaser" being thrown around.

Thanks Webberg. Let me put my question another way.
I have two objectives at this time; one, to not inform any HMRC dept (other than the CTD dept) of my CTD; two, stopping interest increasing on the liability.
Are these two objectives mutually exclusive?
I'm not appreciating something with CTDs, which is likely to say more about me than these very helpful threads. I have a couple of CTDs, but as yet they are not associated with any alleged tax debt (my APN is probably on its way in the post). My preference is not to tell the relevant HMRC dept'...
Lack of finality of Settlement Opportunity
Lack of finality of Settlement Opportunity
The discussion on whether HMRC has or hasn't changed its stance on IHT feels a mute point to me. The key point is that the Settlement Opportunity no longer allows finality on this sorry saga.
Those of us...
Edge EBT thread
I think that is one of just a handful of fundamental questions for all of us considering settlement. However, my own most pressing question is what happens to the loan legally, if you settle the tax? I'm just not inclined to settle if on one hand HMRC can view the disputed...
