You’ve heard the warnings, and now the actions are
happening. The HMRC are coming for illegitimate Umbrella companies and arrests
are being made. But what does it mean for you, if you’ve been working under
such a scheme? Whilst it’s unlikely contractors will be arrested, more and more
are being made bankrupt due to the high charges they need to repay. HMRC has said
the average settlement for individuals is £13,000 – not the letter you want to
fall on your door mat!
A HMRC representative had the
following advice: “We strongly encourage people not to use loan-busting
schemes and methods.
“They clearly don’t work and
people run the risk of losing more money and being involved in fraud. As we
always say – if it looks too good to be true, then it undoubtedly is.”
