der Berliner 3,247 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Could well be that this sneaky guy simply wants to register the names ahead of Rangers, so they may have to "buy him out". But as far as I am aware, we could challenge him for the rights to use the names with ease ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah, I don't think there's anything in this personally. More so given the official comments from the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm surprised Companies House allowed him to register the names. I'm sure a quick call from the club will set them straight and the guy will be forced to change the names of the companies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 WRT the tax settlement opportunity, it seems that we'd still be liable for the amounts plus interest but minus the punitive fines. That would still be what, £35M? I doubt we'd just pay that if we have a strong case for winning. I think it sounds like a bit of a scam from customs to dupe those who legally exploited the loopholes before they were closed into paying up rather than facing the risk and, which has been shown with their tactics against Rangers, the embarrassment of being investigated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Cant remember if i've seen this posted on here or elsewhere, but what is the deal with Arsenal supposedly settling a £300mil bill for £10mil? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Cant remember if i've seen this posted on here or elsewhere, but what is the deal with Arsenal supposedly settling a £300mil bill for £10mil? That was regarding image rights payments made offshore so not really a related issue. HMRC haven't won a case against the use of EBT's (Employee Benefit Trusts) yet....let's hope all the i's were dotted and t's crossed when it was put into practice by Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_2010 0 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 As far as I know, they are encouraging settling before this case, as if you choose to settle, and pay the tax/penalties/interest, then you will not be able to get it back if they lose the Rangers case. So they are trying to get some people to pay some money in case the courts say that the people in questions are not due anything. Pretty rotten... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that is true Juan. The Grant Thornton had a link to a case which the defendant won, but the House of Lords overturned it on appeal, awarding the case to HMRC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't heard about that Craig, quite disturbing to think we could win the case and then face the agony of an appeal. Be interesting to glean anything from the case you mentioned, what the basis for the appeal was etc. No surrender! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
