We all would like to think that Rothschild´s, Barclays and other UK banks involved uphold high standards of banking practice .Commissioner Holland has given his verdict on the legal requirements of the FSA. This is his position as he has very clearly laid out. It is a complicated issue to deal with .
However there is a moral responsibility to…[Read more]

The article below is an interestung statement from Mr Jenkins Barclays CEO.
If ever their was a situation when Barclays ”got it wrong” it would be the position that Barclays find its self in and the failings of the bank to accept responsibility for all those people affected by the schemes the bank promoted in Spain.

Barclays will now have to think of a way to explain this to its customers
This document clearly states what Barclays and other banks have done is to encourage clients (unknowingly) to commit tax fraud.
It will be interesting to see how Barclays try to explain the position they are in. They…[Read more] -

I Believe Barclays should do the rite thing for their clients, by doing so they will be leading the way for the other banks involved. I have several contracts form different banks and they are all almost the same. The main difference is that the regulations in some country’s are not as robust as those in the U.K.
Barclays are at least…[Read more]

Would the shareholders of the bank not expect the bank to insist that firms it worked with were at least regulated and gave good sound advice.

This sounds to me like a divide and conker scheme . I would say that this is not a standstill agreement unless it is written in law.

Eddie If the legal or illegal IFA has no assets or insurance then even if you win you will not get i cent back. if your case is older than 6 years you will not be able to take action inthe U.K you will be able to take action in Spain Probably only against the bank as the IFA s INVOLVED HAVE ALL SCARPERED. the banks however should not have being…[Read more]

Paul & Eddie. Does it really matter if the IFA’s have scarpered. From what I understand that if the advice given by the IFA’s that these schemes were for the purpose of evading taxes, whether Wealth Tax or IHT then the courts have ruled that the contract should be made null & void. And does it matter if the IFA’s are not around to defend their…[Read more]

Paul & Gareth.
In response to both these posts. The Tax Office was very clear in their email to our lawyers and treated IHT in the same way as the Wealth Tax. In other words you cannot take out a loan for the purpose of avoiding taxes. This is not a mortgage loan as it was not taken out for the purpose of a mortgage, it is simply a personal loan.…[Read more]
