“You asked if we have a document that details how the tax savings will work, how much they will save….We really don’t have anything like that except for the sales document”

Sales document. That is how many of these schemes are viewed by those who peddle them - as commodities, products to be sold, much like double glazing. This in my view is far removed from the way in which a “professional services” firm should be operating.

E+Y should rebrand as Arthur Daley Tax Scheme and Used Car Sales.
