craig 5,199 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm not sure they will. The oldco has no assets so no debt is recoverable anyway and the cost of this must run in to the extreme. Whilst I would normally agree what we have to remember is that we were effectively a precedent case on EBT's. This decision runs much larger than just Rangers alone - it has an impact on HMRC's efforts to recover on hundreds of EBT cases. They may very well appeal - nothing to do with collection fof the debt, but to protect the verdict so they can chase other EBT operators. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,263 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 HMRC considers appeal as it concedes Rangers tax case defeat HM Revenue and Customs are considering an appeal after conceding it "lost" a tribunal to prove Rangers players were paid through a tax avoidance scheme between 2001 and 2010. Murray Group Holdings, which through a subsidiary held a controlling interest in the former Rangers Football Club plc during the time of the payments into Employee Benefit Trusts, won its appeal against an assessment for tax, national insurance and penalties on the loans in a verdict delivered on Tuesday. The three-person tribunal failed to reach a unanimous verdict in favour of HMRC's claim, finding that most trusts were "valid" and that the loans remain recoverable by the trusts formed. "We are disappointed that we have lost this stage of the court process," HMRC said in a statement to STV. "We are considering an appeal. "The decision was not unanimous and the diligence of HMRC investigators was acknowledged by the whole tribunal. "HMRC is committed to tackling avoidance and it is right that we challenge the type of avoidance seen in this case." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
