My Friend's father is a very senior UK tax official and has been concerned about the legalities of the Brookfield contract that we have both been offered. He has put a lot of research into this matter so far and confirmed recently to us that the authorities have opened up an official investigation which he thinks will bring to an end this dreadful scam. I can't be more specific at this time, but I will post information here as and when I get it. What I can tell you is that the investigation will be centred around not conforming to IR35, follow this link:
HM Revenue & Customs: IR35 - Countering Avoidance in the Provision of Personal Services Also, you can contact them confidentially, follow this link:
HM Revenue & Customs:IR35 - Assistance/Free advice available The more people who speak to them the stronger their case will be. It really is going to end, and FR/Brookfield will soon have to
"employ" pilots and pay the relevant UK employer's taxes etc.
