FTT Verdict, Trust payments construed as earnings

193

An anonymised version of the First Tier Tribunal verdict was published by the Finance and Trbunals service today.  The 145 page document will take some reading but it concluded:

“the trust payments are to be construed as ‘emoluments’ for the purposes of the tax legislation”

For those without a dictionary to hand,… Emoluments: Synonyms earnings, pay, recompense.

I for one am absolutely shocked that Sir David’s confidence was misplaced on this matter.

Enjoy the game!

“having ascertained the real nature of the transaction, you cannot … disguise it by using camouflaged clothing”

Sham

‘it is wrong and an unnecessary self-limitation’ not to give regard to ‘the manifested intentions of the parties’ in the face of documents or transactions that are not ‘shams’

Orders are now open for the very first CQN Annual, get it here!

  1. There’s a lot of conjecture that it was ole Duane Allman that did most of the intricate fancy plucking *careful how you read that to yourself* on the album Layla.

    The evidence givers have coded names. Wonder who this is

     

     

    27. Next, Mr Violet gave evidence. Firstly, he confirmed the terms of his Witness Statement. He was a former Rangers manager. The Trust had been mentioned as offering benefits to him, which had been investigated by his solicitor and agent, Mr Grey (the next witness). Mr Violet explained that he had received from Rangers

     

    40 in addition to his contract of employment, a separate document in respect of “his” sub-trust. His concern was in securing a satisfactory overall financial “package”. He understood in general terms that he could access monies in the sub-trust by way of loan and that ordinarily the Trustee would be agreeable to this. He had used the loan

  4. There can be no justification in anonymising this verdict.

     

     

    When innocent people are charged with crimes and go before the courts in this country their names and addresses are given in public in the court and then if necessary published in the press.

     

     

    Why are tax-dodgers being granted anonymity?

     

     

    One for my elected representative I think.

    “These are the two chief tenets derived from the case law I have relied on, and they

     

    have guided me in my reasoning to arrive at the end result that the trust payments are

     

    to be construed as ‘emoluments’ for the purposes of the tax legislation.”

    Congratulations, Paul, on your own stupendous contribution towards ensuring that this day of justice finally arrived. No praise is too high.

  12. Paul,

     

     

    I also, too, as well, am shocked also, too re Mister Sir David Murray.

     

     

    I’m wondering though if maybe he was duped? Is duped the right word for it?

     

     

    But I remain shocked also. Too. As well.

  13. “This document contains full findings of fact and reasons for the decision. Any

     

    party dissatisfied with this decision has a right to apply for permission to appeal

     

    15 against it pursuant to Rule 39 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax

     

    Chamber) Rules 2009. The application must be received by this Tribunal not later

     

    than 56 days after this decision is sent to that party.”

     

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     

     

    So document issued 29th October + 56 days = 23rd December

     

     

    The Mayan Calendar says the world will end on 21st December 2012 …..

     

     

    to any Zombies out there …. its only ending for you

  15. 5Live just reported that rangers have won their case and that HMRC accept that these were loans. Seems at odds with Paul’s article.
