## From the administrators' statement

In 2011, the director sought advice from its accountant in relation to investing the Company's profits The advice provided by the accountant culminated in the Company entenng into a tax avoidance scheme

The tax advantage in entering into the Blackstar scheme was that the Company received a Corporation Tax deduction in its accounts The employee meanwhile received an interest free loan without any tax or national insurance The EBT would them remain in existence indefinitely with the loan remaining in place

The Blackstar Scheme involved the Company either giving employee funds, or putting funds into a loan account, an amount of which the employee agreed to subscnbe for shares The employee would pay the first 1 pence of each share and kept 99 pence per share to be paid at a later date
