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.

ART OF War @ 11:24 PM,
Lovely and thought provoking sentiments – this mortal coil!?
My thoughts and prayers with Cathy’s family and friends.
May she RIP
Hail Hail
Paradox,
Am pretty sure it’s the winter break in Serie A and Bundesliga.
On another point Rangers part time coach Nick Walsh goes for a Scottish football record in sending of players against sevco in one season. Walsh like the ned Beaton , hun Madden , clueless Collum , incompetent Robertson etc have all been rejected by FIFA for Qatar World Cup. They are just not good enough and UEFA need to exclude them from euros and eventually CL, EL, CL. It shows the small time approach of Crawford Allan and his failure to develop a pool of referees beyond reproach.
Let’s them operate with incompetence, favours, cheating in ever decreasing circles to the point the SPFL becomes a joke.
Good morning cqn from a very windy game day in the Garngad
Art of War @ 11.24pm very thought provoking and sincere post.
RIP Cathy and Hail Hail AOW
D :)
Lucky Cody – Great post.
And right on the money.
Iv said it before imagine cheating for sevco, how bitter must one be to do that. Forget the cheating bit but to cheat and ruin your career for a bunch of twisted/bigoted criminals.
Pathetic
D :)
Weather forecast says no wind and no rain come 2pm Celtic Park.
Good news.
Reading back.
Tiny Wharton may have been a mason but he was also a very good and fair referee who went the extra mile to protect Wee Jinky.
No way can he be called a cheat far less corrupt.
First Superbru predictor match is 12.30 – get them in!
Why, after all this time and the proof that he lied, can Mr Red not be named? Surely it would help those who are seeking to use him to be able to judge his character correctly and not be taken in by his duplicity, especially when they are using him to advise on Tax matters, oh I see why now! :)) por cierto

Couldn’t agree more about Mr Wharton. 2 Penalties against them in a Cup Final!!! por cierto
Watching my youngest playing his boys club game in Wishaw just now. Horrendous conditions.
LUCKYCODY: ‘…cheating in ever decreasing circles to the point the SPFL becomes a joke.’
Most think they’re there already.
The Ragers couldn’t have cheated the way they did (and do) without the enabling of the SFA and its regulatory eco-system (of which the refs like Beaton, Collum, Robertson et al are key agents)
Most of what Auldheid reminds us points out the SFA’s laughable compromises, plus more evidence here:

I was at that game as well Tom, and I stand corrected, it was Hugh Phillips, por cierto
Good morning. Another big 3 points to play for today. Exciting times. We’ve got the players to win and win well. Looking forward to it.
Thanks for replies last night Bhoys
Just waiting on Scaniel and Jmccormick for Superbru
Mr. Red has the same name as a former deid club player of the early 60s who had the same surname as a 50’s Tory Prime Minister
Further clue:- It’s not Sammy Churchill
Hello again all you young rebels.

Blatant penalties against the bilious bigots in a final.

Ive just received an Email this morning claiming to be from The NHS.
It an ” INVITE” to A Vaccine Passport.
I completed Page 1, with my name and address etc, but then on Page Two, its telling me to PROVIDE ALL of my Bank Details, and stating that I will NOT be charged ?
I obviously REFUSED to provide any Bank details.
Can I assume that this a SCAM ?
Cheers.
HH
Aye it’s a scam jimmy
Big Jimmy, that’s definitely a scam.
If you can see if your email provider gives you the option to flag as spam. It may help someone who’s not as on the ball as yourself.
To receive more suggestions from me please provide me with your long card number and security number on the back…
😅
Jimmy. No reputable organisation would ask for your bank details in an email. These are criminals engaging in a phishing scam. Report it if you can.
Vaccine passes are completely free. You can download a digital version using the NHS app, or ask for a physical copy to be posted to you.
But fraudsters have been sending out fake NHS branded emails, falsely inviting people to apply – and pay – for a pass. We’ve also seen fake text messages along the same lines. These texts can be especially convincing as the NHS does contact patients using text messages.
Big Jimmy,yes.scam.
You take care Jimmy,hope you are feeling a lot better,and things are getting a little better for you.On the metal carriage to the game,will give you a shout through the week.
