Some things seem too good to be true, our tax planning products are no exception, but with sound and honest answers to your genuine questions, you needn’t be so sceptical.
After spending a weekend at a product taster event for short-term orthodontics, it strikes me more than ever how much information and detail we crave.
With this particular dental product, it almost seems like there’s an element of ‘too good to be true’ and not being a dentist I am clearly not qualified to have an opinion. However, having sat in the lectures myself, I could hear the questions being raised by the sceptical GDPs and the speaker was able to answer everything – and I mean everything, beyond the satisfaction of the questioner, whilst providing evidence to back up everything he said.
Now, this speaker is world renowned in dentistry, very charismatic, very credible, he draws the audience in and takes them on a journey. Because he is such a great speaker, one of your thoughts might be ‘am I just being sold to?’ The answer is ‘potentially – yes’, but the evidence supporting the product was so irrefutable there could not be any doubt.
During the breaks, the delegates wanted to know how to save tax.
Two or three simple fact-finding questions later and it turns out they fit the mould for one of our really simple and effective tax planning products, saving them £thousands in tax a year.
We can actually see the sirens going off in their head – ‘but wait, what?! Is it legal? There must be a catch, what’s the catch? Tell me the catch immediately!’
The truth is, whilst it may depend on an individual’s attitude to risk, there isn’t really anything to worry about. The balance is so far in your favour the catches don’t seem like catches:
- You may have to use a different mortgage broker when you need a mortgage (we can recommend you some);
- You are ultimately liable for your own taxes – no change there then;
- You may have to renegotiate your income protection (if you have any);
- The government could change the legislation – in which event you would stop doing it as you cannot be prosecuted retrospectively;
- HMRC will find out – no reason why they would find out but even if they did, the tax planning is compliant with all UK tax law;
- HMRC will dip into my bank account and take all my money – nope, they simply cannot just do that. Banks have rejected this proposal.
So why give away your money to the tax man? Many of your peers are taking advantage of the situation and keeping a much higher percentage of their earnings than you are – legally.
