RabiDuck 89 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Makes the SPL tribunals job easier I guess. Now it's being appealed, they can argue the ruling of the original tribunal is void so they're not bound by it's findings and can procede to strip Rangers of everything they've ever won and make us pay back every penny of prize money plus interest at a thoroughly reasonable %50pa rate. Happy days! <\cynic> 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know mate it goes to different judges, who look over the case and see if everything is above board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 RANGERS Chief Executive Charles Green commented: “All Rangers fans welcomed the First Tier Tax Tribunal verdict last November and will be disappointed that HMRC have now launched an appeal against their judgment. “The ruling of the First Tier Tax Tribunal does not affect the operations and the financial position of the Club as it stands today and the appeal will have no affect on us as this is an historic case for The Rangers Football Club plc ('oldco'). “As HMRC stated last June when they decided to vote against the proposed ‘oldco’ CVA, no tax liabilities relating to 'oldco' would transfer across to the new company. HMRC have also reaffirmed this position to the Club's tax advisers, Deloitte. “What the appeal does do, however, is cast a cloud of uncertainty and confusion over a situation that has already been ruled on and has taken a number of years to investigate. “There is no money to be gained by HMRC as the old company has been liquidated so you have to ask why they are pursuing the matter further when the original EBT enquiry took years to reach a conclusion? “I have written in the strongest possible terms to HMRC pointing out the futility of such an appeal.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/3300-hmrc-appeal-statement 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thought they had to appeal on a point of law and no fair minded person could logically think they had one?! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
