Thanks Philip, interesting.
I do sometimes wish the ASA would aim its efforts at organisations that regularly fleece unsuspecting members of the public, namely politicians with their bus adverts and oven ready deals, they do far more damage to the nation's financial health than any number of dodgy tax scheme promoters.
An ex-employer of mine got involved with a promoter of dodgy EBT's a good few years ago. I was never comfortable with it and said so at the time to no avail. The aftermath is still rumbling on but at least my ex-boss now lives in a really nice house bought off the back of the fees he charged on top of the promoters fees. The wally even did an EBT on his own business which is now in liquidation after a phoenix. Has he learned his lesson? Maybe....
