pete 2,499 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The whole of HMRC's case rests on whether the benefits should be treated as earnings. Our side spent 2 days saying they shouldn't and continually made reference to the FTT who said they were not. The first appeal also went against them it was just the last one where they thought it was common sense instead of what stood in the law. Just a quick question. Why did the HRMC lawyer keep saying an exaggerated "TE" instead of To? Is that a finance thing or a speech impediment? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I don't believe it's add simple as that. Where does the current law and precedents sit on the existence of side letters, for example? I'm not saying it's simple at all but I didn't hear any mention of the side letters; I think that's a red herring in the context of the appeal.

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Yes, usually. You just know in you heart for whom they are most likely to make an exception, however. I very much doubt that their Lordships are concerned about Rangers or Celtic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
