It seems if they did not do this then the piltos would not get a gig with Ryanair.

Hopefully, like the EBT schemes, the burden will fall on the employer.

And on the CEO personally.

If they didn't, that's another very good reason to avoid Ryanair. One hopes a pilot knows what they're doing at all times.

Assuming you know there is a question... if you're told "This is how we hire people" you'll not know.

Which is why so many people have ended up need help in HMRC Scheme Enquiries . Between "this is how we hire people" and "this is how other people do it" you only have the awkward people left...

Maybe they were given a QC opinion?

If you can write your question down then you can search for the answer.

To do a search, first you need to know that a search is necessary. And what to search for.

And how to do a search?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....

If I have learned anything from these forums is that the world of IT contracting is full of "proper" contractors with no clue how to operate their ltd. .

Shouldn't anyone who sets up and operates through a LTD know how it works?

If I have learned anything from these forums is that the world of IT contracting is full of "proper" contractors with no clue how to operate their ltd. So the fact that some pilots fresh out of training getting their first job and asked by their "employer" to sign some documents without realizing what's going on is hardly a surprise.

The first rule of aviation is to avoid anything hard. Maybe they were just following their training?

The first rule of aviation is "Takeoff is optional. Landing is compulsory", and a tax investigation for fraud sounds like a hard landing!

This makes me think that at least part of them had no clue. Also don't know why people expect that pilots are all knowing and intelligent beings that must understand how ltd. works. This doesn't look like the prestigious profession of yesteryear, they start on £22k.

Except when banging trolley dollies in exotic locations.

Shame "I didn't understand what I was doing and how it all works" isn't an acceptable defense. You'd think airline pilots would be able to understand LTD company finance and the accountants would be at least telling them what to pay to who and when.

Unless they all knew exactly what they were doing...

We had to go to Ireland, meet their accountant and set up a company.
