I thought these had all been legislated out of existence? Just got an email from one promising 90% without loans. Pure scam? Or the biggest red flag to HMRC you could imagine?

How do they actually work?

About 15 years back I worked through brooksons who paid something like 75% - a managed service company i think it was known. All they did was basically run one large ltd co with dozens of shareholders and bare minimum costs with low salary/high dividends.

Not quite, but you'd certainly be pretty naive to get involved these days.

Yes.

Yes.

The directors take 10% from you, then vanish to the Bahamas with the takings as soon as HMRC start sniffing around.

Oh, you mean how do they work for the contractor? They don't.
