    Funnily enough, putting information on teh Intarwebz is not free - the people who provide these services have to pay for them somehow. And given the traffic the CUK forums have to deal with every day...

    does this mean offshore schemes have some sort of tacit approval from cuk?

    have cuk ever charged for posting here? or asked for volunterary contributions towards funding?

    Looks like this is operating out of Jersey. If I did not have 2.5 years exposure to IOM I would look into it.

    Looks like HMRC will have to fight on several fronts for the offshore schemes. Unless they do the sensible thing and close them down straight away.....
