Just randomly bumping this thread.......

My accountant had a look and said it looks like a tax avoidance scheme.

This should be made a sticky as it covers any & all questions on the subject!

I had a look at Procorre a couple of years ago, very briefly. Unless I misunderstood, they were requiring exclusivity i.e. as part of contract you're not allowed to win and do business through any other agency or directly with clients. Completely useless to me, so didn't go any further.

Looks like? I think you need a new accountant

Hi,

I'm a little bit worried after reading the forum about Procorre.
I have applied a job in their Linkedin page.
Then they called me and told me they work with contractors like agencies.
But after reading threads as far as I understand they didn't explain me well how exactly they work.

I didn't sign any contract with them they just sent me a link to enter my profile, Executive Summary Associates

So now they are sending emails about contract jobs but in these emails they also include the other agencies information like below:

Hi ...
I hope you are well,

Please see the below link

Agency Telephone: +44 (0)203 ....

Agency Contact: ....

Contact LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/...


I can already apply this jobs with using jobboards. So what is their role here?

And if I apply directly to the agencies, how will they know this?
And how exactly are they helping to people find a job?

If anyone has any knowledge I'd be appreciated.

This is how they tried to lure me in their scheme, based on a rate of £525 pd I would have 253K per year in year 5 as long as I keep bringing in more minions into the scheme

Would be interested to know if anybody has ever got to year 5!

That seems perfectly straightforward. Was there an option to be granted loans in a fast depreciating foreign currency?

Greed gets the better of people - you just have to look at the HMRC scheme Enquiries Forum to discover that...

Heck even when I've told people what will happen to them they believe the reassuring snake oil salesman rather than the colleague with facts. I avoid them after that...

I told people for years even prior to the prosecutions, I was always an "idiot" apparently

[eek]

Its called research Cojak, surely in this day and age it is something you should do before doing pretty much anything?

We live in a world where people are trying to get our money by various, but legal, deceptions.
Everyone should be aware of that now.

Really, if most of the posters in HMRC Scheme Enquiries had used it, they wouldn't be where they are today.

How do they do their jobs?

Generally very badly.

Then they make me look clever as I "know" the answer
