Setu Kamal (Barrister) has been a busy boy, hasn’t he?

And I’ve never seen HMRC mention an email address before but but they have for MLG Pay Limited (and others where Mr Kamal has been listed, funnily enough).

It's likely just that some older ones have dropped off. HMRC cycle them off after 12 months. FCSA does not.

Neither do we.

Edit: OK, this is unusual. The page header says that the page was updated on the 7th August, but that update doesn’t apply to the list of dodgy companies.

I’ve looked but I don’t know what they’ve updated.

Additions:

• Less Tax For Landlords Limited
• Knights Network Limited

Updates:

Really, HMRC having to update the update the name and shame posts should mean sanctions for these characters.

And a new company called Chancery Law & Tax has popped up, owned by a chap called Tony Gimple who previously ran a company called… Less Tax for Landlords Ltd.

It’s been over a month since HMRC published anything, have they all gone on holiday? Or maybe all of these scammers have gone legit!

The most recent additions and updates to the list of named tax avoidance schemes, promoters, enablers and suppliers in section 3 below were published on 12 June 2025.

Additions:

• Signature Professional Limited
• Head Restart Limited

Funny how "Head Restart" has the same address as Medbridge (called out in January 2025) and "Signature Professional" has the same address as Acquda Solutions Limited (Dec 2024), Bluemoore Associates (June 23), and Employe Limited (Nov 24)
Coincidence?
Maybe HMRC's life would be made easier if they just searched by the address?
