unearned tax

[a.mlw.walker]

Someone in America is trying to trade in UK, and get uk clients to pay me (I'm in UK) then give me 10% of money, to avoid some 25% tax he would otherwise have to pay. I take 17% of the money, 7% tax for sending cash out of EU. But I will pay unearned income tax at end of year wont I? How much will that be?

Hmmm.
Why would somebody ask for the funds to be sent to you when they can be sent direct to the USA and credited to their account there, also there is no problem with the person in the USA opening an account over here and having the funds credited to that account, seems strange to me. To save tax, what tax? also what is this 7% tax for sending cash out of EU never heard of this. Sorry but having worked in the banking industry for over 30 years I dont really understand this transaction, Also have you given though to those terrible words "MONEY LAUNDERING"

He is trying to scam YOU. Avoid .

One big scam.

The least of your worries would be what would happen if the goods didn't turn up. You're the one taking the money in the UK - you'd be responsible.

The biggest of your worries, as already mentioned, is money laundering. Hugely criminal.

If he is so dodgy he's happy to admit to tax dodging, what is he really up to?
