For what it's worth I had a quick look and first report I read contained this "It is, as always, very difficult to make an assessment of the mood of the court, but the impression given is that the court was unwilling to entertain HMRC’s argument that the employee had immediate access to the EBT assets and was less than wholly convinced that their arguments on diverted earnings were correct." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I've no idea how this might go. The fact that the ruling has at stages gone each way, suggests that ultimately, it could go in either. In terms of justice, this was obviously a case of giving players inflated wages by enabling them to duck tax obligations. I don't think anyone seriously argues otherwise - certainly not Billy Dodds, certainly not the internal Ibrox e-mails relating to Papac that were unearthed by Mark Daly and certainly not even Kincardine. In terms of the law though, who knows? It's capable of being quite the ass. Edited March 16, 2017 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Regardless of whether Rangers were involved or not, it would be an absolute fucking disgrace if the court doesn't find in HMRC's favour. I hope that every single person that was involved in such a scheme gets taken to the cleaners for what they owe. The ordinary plebs who pay up without question are the folk that have to fund that shit, we should never forget that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the fact that it's Rangers makes many of us care more, but the reality is that such schemes are utterly disgusting morally, regardless of who attempts to operate them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulliamwallace Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 For all of the fans from all over Scotland who spent their hard earned cash following their team week in week out through the EBT years, the very least the SFA can do is strip the tribute club of their TAINTED titles.CHEATS FC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the former, then different company argument will hold. That there's been a different company has never been an issue. Most teams in Scotland don't chart their club's history as being co-terminus with its registered company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
