    Of course it is possible that yours worked in a very different way.
    And I think the final sentence here is the more accurate.

    The OP was clear that what he had what a double limited type structure in which his company was in receipt of funds which subsequently went on a journey.

    The GAAR opinion deals with a trust that employs contractors who are are then made available to another intermediary and then to the end user of the services.

    In my view, very different.

      And indeed is is different, but not so very far removed from the GAAR description.

      This highlights a key issue perhaps.

      The GAAR process is never going to describe each and every scheme that they consider to be "abuse".

      (Equally I;ve never see an opinion that says a scheme is effective).

      Do we then have to draw some parallels between what the GAAR opinion says and a scheme that is similar but different in some often crucial ways?

      Unfortunately we seem to be no further advanced from the HMRC view that the tax law means what they think it means and other opinions are inherently worthless.

        Of course you do. But how is that any different from any other aspect of tax? The great thing about the published opinion is that is helps explain what is crucial and why they think it is.

        Well the GAAR Advisory Panel is independent of HMRC so I guess we have two views.

        And isn't a GAAR opinion a good thing if you want to target promoters? That certainly helps from a POTAS perspective.

          Ah, fair enough. I guess that post has been deleted now.
