    That was me. But then HMRC tried it and that was successful. So you'd probably have better luck these days.

    I know of at least three schemes which are going to get users into to trouble when HMRC finally get around to it. Two are variants of loan schemes and one is a rouse claiming to get people out of the 2019 LC using some dodgy accounting.

    In the latter case, someone is proporting to be representing a trust based in another EU country but the individuals associated with it live in the UK and the web site it UK based and owned by a small web design outfit not far from London.

    And they are (supposed to be) going after promoters. If you are bored have a look at: https://www.gov.uk/government/public...hemes-guidance and https://www.gov.uk/government/public...draft-guidance

    Who to report promoters of abusive DR scams to?

    I do not think its any secret that HMRC are not going after the promoters of dodgy schemes. Are there any other agencies we should be reporting these to? FSA (in the case of supposed trustees).

    I know of at least three schemes being currently promoted which are going to get users into to trouble when HMRC finally get around to it. Two are variants of loan schemes and one is a rouse claiming to get people out of the 2019 LC using some dodgy accounting.

    In the latter case, someone is proporting to be representing a trust based in another EU country but the individuals associated with it live in the UK and the web site it UK based and owned by a small web design outfit not far from London.
