Breaking news: BTC - Rangers appeal successful


Recommended Posts

1 The principal trust purportedly constituted by the Trust Deed by MGM Limited and Insinger Trust Co Ltd dated 20 April 2001 was valid and subsisting and continues.

 

2 The sub-trusts (subject to our remarks in paras 210 and 226) purportedly 25 constituted by the relative declarations of trust were valid and subsisting and continue.

 

3 The sums advanced to the employees of the Appellants by way of loan in terms of the relative loan documents, were made in pursuance of discretionary powers and remain recoverable and represent debts on their estates.

 

4 The sums advanced by the Appellant companies into the principal trust, 30 whether on payment thereto, or on payment to a sub-trust, or thereafter on being advanced by way of loan to the employee, were not at any time held absolutely or unreservedly for or to the order of the individual employee.

 

233. Accordingly, the assessments made fall to be reduced substantially. It was conceded that advances in favour of certain players are taxable and liable to NIC, and 35 we have found that in certain other limited instances, there may be a similar liability. To that extent the assessments should stand. In these circumstances we expect that it is sufficient that we allow the Appeal in principle. Parties can no doubt settle the sums due for the limited number of cases mentioned without further reference to the Tribunal.

 

If I understand correctly, it was a majority and not unanimous decision and there is some finding of guilt, although the final figure is significantly less than was first thought, but then that's only a quick flick over it and I'm sure somebody can be much more accurate and specific on matters than I!
