There are some circumstances where a Court will hear an appeal without funding if there is sufficient public interest. In tax cases, that tends to be where HMRC want to prove a particular point and there is an issue of public policy at stake.
Whilst I do not believe for one second the rather extreme claims from some commentators that Murray was a "major victory for taxpayers", I'm not convinced that HMRC sees much public policy value in having the position tested further.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

There is a note doing the rounds that says HMRC suffered a "major defeat" in Murray Group.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
It's worth though checking the telephone number of the outfit who allegedly wrote/issued it.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

I'm told Murray Group have £26m in a creditor pot and £0.5m in a fighting fund. BDO might put in too?
I don't know the technicalities of what pots they could use etc, but it seems more likely than I thought that they'll appeal.Comment

HMRC might start shouting a bit more if there is no appeal.Comment

Nice one, thanks for that regron.
Off topic slightly, I do find this statement odd:
"Certain players may not have signed for the Club without the perceived benefit of personal tax savings but there was no general advantage for the player squad, or the performance on the pitch."
Especially after saying "the football team had no advantage from any tax savings from the scheme put in place by the Murray Group".
Certain players signing for the club because of (insert reason here) seems like said reason gives them an advantage. ;-)Comment

Employer Liability
How significant is the implication that the tax liability lies with the employer, not the employee?Comment

This approach weakens the ability of HMRC to apply the decision elsewhere although perhaps not fatally.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.
