FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the HMRC named tax avoidance schemes list?

A list HMRC publishes of named tax avoidance schemes, promoters, enablers and suppliers — now over 150 entries, updated regularly. Being named is a strong warning sign, though HMRC notes it is not a complete list of every scheme.

How often is this watchlist updated?

HMRC updates it frequently — often several times a month. PaySentry re-scrapes the official gov.uk sources every 2 days.

Is this the complete list of tax avoidance schemes?

No — HMRC states it is not exhaustive. Absence from the list does not mean a scheme or umbrella is compliant.

How do I check if my umbrella is on the list?

Search by company or director name above, or use Umbrella Watchdog to screen your whole supply chain against it continuously.

Screen your supply chain against this list.

PaySentry automatically screens your umbrella supply chain against the HMRC watchlist and alerts you the moment there’s a match.
