Isn't that fraud? I think I remember it being discussed on here before.

Ah FFS. Why are you wasting everyone's time AGAIN with this crap?

Again? Sorry, I didn't search the forum before posting this..I'm not discussing the rights/ wrongs of it, it's just a simple question, does anyone know when the scheme is open?

That is all, if you don't know, there is no need to comment, I'm hardly wasting your time, the question is in the title, I didn't make you click into my post..:rolleyes:

I reckon you should ask your bro instead of hoping that a BOI employee chances upon this.

Ok maybe I will, would have been easier for me to find out first but judging by some of the responses(not yours incase you think I'm hinting at that) it doesn't look like I will get any helpful replies.

I did specifically put the question in title as to avoid wasting peoples time..

Thanks

This post made sense before the one above it was edited, in case the latecomers are confused.

You may find traces of the original post nearby, however.

I don't know if it's fraud, that hadn't crossed my mind, but I don't remember asking either.

Doctor Bob

You don't know if what's fraud?

I'm not hiding anything, my post is quoted above, the reason I edited mine is to stop the discussion going off track. As I said, I didn't start this thread to discuss anything, but only to find an answer to my question in my OP!

Doctor Bob

Fair enough. The answer, then, is either:

a) No.

or

b) It doesn't matter, as you cannot legally take part in it.

Can you back up what you are saying in point b?

You must be employed by a company in order to be eligible to buy a bike through that company.

I can confirm it is illegal to buy a bike for someone else under the scheme - this is tax fraud.
