Reply to: APNs £200k - is there a safe place abroad to run to?

Really!? I didnt know that. Hope it was one of my more fruity posts even if it did raise a titter! (Had to break my self imposed exile as well to reply!)

BB is back yay!!

[BolshieBastard]

Yes they do, actually.

HMRC's counsel quoted a post by Bolshy Bastard during one judicial foray.

There was much tittering around the courtroom...

OMG. Lol. Did they quote him verbatim? Wish I'd heard that. Did they say tulip?

The astute play was to use the scheme for 1-x yrs then exit the jurisdiction.

It's the only play for anyone still using a scheme now, not that the idiots will realise that until it's too late.

It very much remains to be seen what can and will be recovered from those fortunate to no longer be here or moving on shortly.
At the moment the brown envelope piles are probably being used as stubbie coasters and quite rightly so.

The astute play was to use the scheme for 1-x yrs then exit the jurisdiction. As I have asid before I would love to see the geographical analysis of these tax "assets". I'm sure HMRC have it and it causes some angst.

Given the time the PS contractors can spend on here it seems likely HMRC spend a lot of time on here too

Thanks for your response. You were right. Not many answers to be had so it seems - maybe due to HMRC trolling this site or maybe because there arn't any. Will definitely try to join the Big Group if I can and will continue to Google.

There are answers to be had but you probably won't find them with Google.

FWIW, I was told that UAE is pretty safe.

... is there a safe place abroad to run to?

So you thought it's best to ask on a public forum notoriously scouted by HMRC? Ok...
I suspect you're not going to get many answers here. You'll probably have more luck on private forums such as Big Group. I'd suggeste joining when it reopens later this month.
In the meantime, do your homework on topics such as MARD and tax residency rules.

Yes they do as HMRC have apparently quoted posts from CUK during court cases.

Also as stupid as they are I don't think they are stupid enough to not use CUK as a resource, makes there crappy jobs easier.

To be fair they have to see what their contractors are wasting time on the internet doing.

Oh and hi HMRC

[Invisiblehand]

HMRC quoted CUK Forum in the original Huitson Judicial Review back in 2010.

I stand corrected. Did not know that.

[TheLastWinja]

Apparently = Definitely

"Apparently", exactly my point.

Used to be you could flee to Switzerland. Then you could be extradited for evasion, but your money would be safe. However, EU legislation that Switzerland has agreed to has blocked this solution. Until Brexit of course.

I'm not surprised...

[cojak]

Nobody really knows if this is true though do they?

Yeah - fun places like Columbia, Patagonia, North Korea, assorted African backwaters. And, of course, you can never move back here or anywhere else vaguely civilised, including the OP's original list....

You clearly know what you're talking about.
