Use of offshore composite structures

[jetsetter]

Does anyone know if these types of structures are bad news or perfectly ok (provided your non-resident position is established)?
For people who are not ordinarily resident here working on short term contract in the UK - they pay a salary in the UK and remit tax and NIC to IR.
They also pay dividends offshore to supplement this - provided the person is not ordinarily resident. They claim the structure is managed and controlled offshore and the dividends are subject to profitability.
Would it be a problem returning to the UK in a few years time when a P86 would need to be completed - as you need to state your empoyers for the previous 5 years. Would IR be likely to investigate anyone who had an offshore based employer (i.e. Isle of Man)?

Many Thanks

Question is too vague really.

Many of these arrangements are currently under Enquiry by Revenue and Customs so approach cautiously!
