Scottish Sun's turn of shaming our name - tax dodgers

[der Berliner 3,292]

That is how you bury a story under a picture of someone who has been here for about 5 mins, when there are really BIG NAMES of a certain club feature rather prominently in the list ...

 

 

 

It is long overdue that the club reacts strongly against this type of open bias against us. Full stop!

And yet they decide to run with a photo of Barton in a Rangers strip!!!

[trublusince1982 243]

most of those names are a different scheme. This scheme only neil lennon was involved from them. Would have thought the sun would have ran with neither mind you considering some of the names present are big names and not fuds like lennon

[the gunslinger 3,366]

We are the bigger club. So of course us.

 

A bit part player for rangers trumps a legend at our smaller rivals.

Sickening that the Scottish media are so blatant. I'm not sure how many bears buy this rag or the rhebel, therefore I suspect they are both competing for the same mhanky readership!

.... well, not the Daily Mail's list. Or he is not considered rich enough to make the top 100 ...

 

Revealed: The full list of 100 super-rich stars in £700million tax relief scheme includes The Beckhams, Gary Lineker, Robbie Williams, and Geri Halliwell

 

Stars who invested in finance firm Ingenious face paying out £700million

The company provided tax breaks to celebrities who supported film venture

But HMRC claimed it was tax avoidance and won decision at tribunal

David and Victoria Beckham, Robbie Williams, Gary Lineker, Ant and Dec and Geri Halliwell were among a group of stars who invested in the scheme

 

The 100 super-rich celebrities involved in a £700million tax relief scheme have been named today.

 

David and Victoria Beckham, Robbie Williams, Gary Lineker, Ant and Dec and Geri Halliwell were among a group of stars who invested in partnerships run by controversial finance firm Ingenious, and each paid a minimum £100,000 to support a movie venture that promised to combine box office hits with tempting tax breaks.

 

The Ingenious Film Partners 2 LLP scheme qualified for tax breaks under rules designed to stimulate the British film industry, with hit movies such as Life of Pi, Avatar and Girl With a Pearl Earring qualifying for tax relief.

 

But HMRC argued such schemes were not legitimate investment opportunities but actually a means of avoiding tax, and a tax tribunal has now ruled the incentives were 'not allowable deductions', upholding a previous decision in 2016.

 

It means 1,400 people who invested – including Wayne Rooney, Bob Geldof, Davina McCall and Jeremy Paxman – face paying back millions of pounds.

 

Others on the list include Sir Alex Ferguson, singer Craig David, ex-England manager Stev*e McClaren and Sacha Baron Cohen.

 

Many of those involved have been knighted or received honours from the Queen. Others are Lords.

 

Last night a tax source told The Sun: 'Those investors who chanced their arm by taking this to court may end up paying significantly more in tax as a result of this decision.'

 

Around £420m of tax was to have been avoided, but the total owed near £700m.

 

Many of Ingenious's investors subsequently claimed they were wrongly advised to enter the schemes without being made aware of the risks involved.

 

A spokesman for HMRC said: 'We are pleased that the Tribunal has agreed with us that the vast majority of what was claimed in tax relief by Ingenious investors was simply not due.
