    Offshore trust schemes buys advertising space on CUK

    Looks like these guys have got themselves a banner ad on every current CUK article.

    http://www.prl.eu.com/

    From their "Brochure"

    How do we deliver…
    - Contract through your own limited company
    - You will be the sole Director, employee and
    shareholder
    - Monthly payments into your Limited Company on the
    15th of each month
    - You are paid a PAYE salary and your expenses
    monthly.
    - Your PSC can make a bonus contribution to a Trust
    (www.Lutea.com) which in turn can pay you as a
    beneficiary.

      Fair do's, don't normally read the articles anyway. Only saw it cos I clicked on the wrong link by mistake.

      0870 Special Services Higher Rate number as well. Classy

        Considering everything that is going on, I'm surprised CUK are selling advertising space...money is money I suppose.

          How do you think they fund the site? Did you not notice the JSA ads that preceded these?

          Funnily enough, putting information on teh Intarwebz is not free - the people who provide these services have to pay for them somehow. And given the traffic the CUK forums have to deal with every day...

            Looks like this is operating out of Jersey. If I did not have 2.5 years exposure to IOM I would look into it.

            Looks like HMRC will have to fight on several fronts for the offshore schemes. Unless they do the sensible thing and close them down straight away.....

              I understand that sites survive by selling advertising...it is just that this is such a hot topic at the moment, especially with the Montpelier situation, I was surprised (as it appears others are) that CUK was selling advertising to an offshore scheme promoter. I don't think JSA are promoting such scheme.

                does this mean offshore schemes have some sort of tacit approval from cuk?

                have cuk ever charged for posting here? or asked for volunterary contributions towards funding?
