The Tax Disciplinary Panel have received a complained from TaxWatch about the conduct of a tax advisor to Rangers Football Club (now in liquidation), who was named in the findings in Murray Group Holdings v HMRC case – The Big Tax Case. The published report anonymised names, identifying “Mr Red” as a Chartered Tax Advisor and former Inspector of Taxes.
In 2017, long after the club went into liquidation, the Supreme Court found that Rangers’ Employee Benefit Trusts were disguised renumeration and that tax should have been paid on them.
As TaxWatch report:
“In her dissenting judgment, Dr Heidi Poon records how Mr Red wrote to HMRC denying the existence of documents that HMRC had requested under the a statutory request for information, writing in a letter “your belief in the existence of documents demonstrating how amounts contributed to the Trust are determined is irrational and unfounded. I cannot help with your fantasies and the production of a S20 makes no difference to this”. [1] In fact, the documents did exist and had been uncovered by a City of London Police raid on Ibrox Stadium in connection with an unrelated investigation.
“Concluding, Dr Poon stated that Mr Red’s behaviour went beyond what could be described as “a lack of candour”, she said: “It would be judicial to conclude that it had been obstructive and obscurantist, and there is evidence of active concealment of documents… to describe Mr Red as ‘somewhat defensive’ in giving his sworn testimony would be an understatement. On more than one occasion, Mr Red had attempted to mislead the Tribunal”.”
A lack of disciplinary action by the Chartered Institute of Tax allowed Mr Red to continue working in the field, despite the findings in fact disclosed at the Rangers Tax Case and the Institutes published code of conduct. That code now seems more if an aspiration than a reuirement.
In raising this complaint to the Tax Disciplinary Board, TaxWatch have highlighted not just the activities of one individual, but the dirty ‘Water some of the country’s largest companies is prepared to swim in. It also puts in dount the tax industry’s ability to regulate itself.

And the Celtic fans who knew that the board were doing nothing continued to give their financial support to a board who did nothing so the board continued doing nothing and these same fans have the arrogant brass necks to call Rangers supporters gulliBillys.
Just see Ivan Toney in a bit of hot water with Brentford, don’t know how many times I read here how we messed up not signing him.
If we had him and he was filmed saying EFF Celtic, how would we feel about him then.
I was delighted with how so many Debutants to that mini hatesville place played on Wednesday.
We had a lot less Supporters there too than usual.
Get the 2 goals the morra and play keep ball so we dinnae get injuries.
Hopefully County can get a draw minimum.
Ange is really Building a TEAM.

I just for clarity I wouldn’t call Celtic fans gullible, I’d call them sleekit and two faced.
Llennybhoy if I said The Big Tree would that help ?
60000 on Wednesday under the Disco Lights will see an incredible “YNWA” rendition – it’s my opinion we should keep it for the Biggest of games. I can understand why we are now playing it All the time.
A gentle reminder to all and sundry. Friday night already. Tunes ffs

Stebhoy,
How original.Pick out TaylorYou know,I would just like to ask.
Taylor having so many defects,no pace,too wee,cant pass,can’t cross,can’t tackle,would someone,anyone please tell me when was responsible for a goal against us.
Secondly,why is he,our fantastic manager,who has signed,Strikers,Wingers,Midfielders,CHs,even a RB,a Goalkeeper,never actually thought of bringing in a LB to replace him.Brought in Scales as back up,but Taylor is his 1st pick LB.
Must be right Diddy of a manager,if he let’s this ,”Only good enough for Kilmarnock”courtesy of the great talent spotter,Brian F,into his team every week,and never thought to replace him.
I can’t work it out.

It will be something else on Wednesday.
Playing Huns @ night time is always dangerous from a Supporters point of view, thankfully theres nae Sevco Supporters gonnae be there.
Even thinking of asking my Son to make his ain way to the game and me doing the same and taking the Thursday aff. Hatate’s strike at swinecastle was unreal TBH. Hopefully he does a Lambert (with more oomph Hatate style) type on Wednesday and just a Tynecastle wan the morra!!!!!

Hope all is well Petec 👍
Hopefully the disco lights aren’t used to ruin the walk on.
We’re in the Euro pub league but who cares we’ve got disco lights.
Was hearing a lot of huns were refused entry into Ibrox on Wednesday night because of the passport stuff.
Stay safe. hh

Poor Ross Pitcher,alleged football writer,is pyoor outraged,that El Buffalo,is not even on the bench tonight for Columbia.He is,in fact 5th choice.
” He could have been turning out against Celtic next week” he wails.
Oh dear.Some guy from Portland Timbers named ahead of 30 million pound rated,Alfie.A grief stricken Ross reports.
Turkeybhoy , you seem to like Taylor – I do too but not as #1 choice. Most fans agree we can do better there
Park The Bus,
Really?.You don’t want to ever meet me face to face,or you will think I was being very polite to you on here.
I can be a right wee bugger.

Oh so you want to issue threats because someone who isn’t part of your wee knitting club refuses to conform to whatever it is that your trying to push?
Isn’t that hun / kult behaviour?
Stebhoy,
“Most fans agree”.Really?.How do you know that?.All my mates like him.My family that go to the games like him,so I make that about 30 out of 30,I know.
They will look right out of place among the other59,970,other fans that don’t.
Thing is,Ange does not agree with you.Who to go along with?.

Ange wisnae left wae much.
I’m uber excited about Celtic under Ange.
A Big Strong Man, he isnae interested in excuses.
If he is given free reign and being allowed so much now…..although he is an unknown quantity, he is doing very well so far.
Keep yer Spidey senses always twitching.
I always wanted to see a Barn Owl – seen one once on foot, wan in the car just going to Erskine Bridge – Magical sight.
Hello again all you young rebels.
From a storm lashed Melbourne peninsula.
After weeks of intense heat the tsunami type rain is actually a
bit welcome, especially for my garden 🪴👍
Haven’t read back fully but judging by P67s header and general
conversation on a couple of posts, the Bilious Bigots Tax Case
is back on the agenda.
Is it a case we are going over old ground or are there further
developments we don’t hear about here in Oz ???
Asking for a wee tim who hates they bassas 😡

ParkTheBus,
Threats !!!!!!!!!!!,And you say you come from Springboig.At least one of the 5 of you could see the joking in the post.Oooops,there I go again.Told you,a wee bugger.
Stebhoy,
Don’t get me wrong,if Ange brought in better,I would be delighted.Maybe Scales with run in the team would prove better.At the moment he is our best LB.
We saw what 10 million would get you last year.

I put a lit candle on my windowsill early yesterday evening to remember the victims of the Holocaust, My neighbour hung out a Para flag.
“I thought the candle was for Bloody Sunday?” he sez.
Gone now is any neighbourly respect whatsoever.

I’m going to the game tomorrow. I will not be able to make the huns game.
You can all argue the toss, but my ST has never been so much in demand for Wednesday night.
That my friends is a fact.
HH to all, the journey continues.
Re this week’s pressers – great to see Ange and Jacko gushing w dedication and energy for our club.
Much as I love to see the meeja getting it tight at every opportunity, I though Ange’s “made myself pretty clear…” x2 remarks to the English scribe (dunno his name) were quite arrogant and needless. For this reason…
The journo asked AP about any other new signings becos Ange had prev said we weren’t looking at/speaking to anyone after the McGree signing got torpedoed – then just days later, we swooped on the silky Matt O’Riley.
Fair point, then, for a journo to ask if Ange had any other surprises up his sleeve given that O’Riley was an out of the blue pick.
Def not an issue for Ange to put meeja in their place but if Steevie Gee or Warbo Pedro or Gio had said the same, we’d been calling them out as arses.
Save some of the impaling, Ange, for bent refs, crooked league administrators and ex-Hun pundits eh?
Right, onto my Superbru picks now…

YNWA sung by Celtic fans is a sacred sight in football.
Many years ago, Wim Jansen’s son was interviewed in one of the media rags as to why he’d flown over from Holland with a huge group of folk to the Dr Jo 5-1 hun skelping, given the bitterness that was still in the air after Fergus McCann & Jock Brown didn’t like Wim as Wim refused to be fobbed off with Jim MaGilton (who he?) instead of Paul Lambert, who left the reigning CL trophy holders and committed himself to Wim’s plans which put McCann & Brown’s noses out of joint causing a rift that couldn’t be healed, and Wim’s son made this claim. “These folk who are with me are here to witness live with their own eyes the Celtic fans singing YNWA.”
Amazing eh. 👍

Yeah threats.
Asking why somebody doesn’t meet you face to face and that you’d be much tougher than you are on here and then worming your way out of what you said when challenged.
Springboig ?
Bugger is a dodgy word in todays highly contested climate, don’t you think?
