That means going after the EBTs at a corporate level and perhaps trying to reach a settlement with HMRC for alleged individual liability on the "other end" so to speak.
Perhaps that's just hopeless and wishful thinking but it has a certain logic.

I think a lot of EBTs have had the contribution from the company but have not "earmarked" the funds for the employee in such a way as to trigger the PAYE liability.
Thus the loan exists (has perhaps been claimed for CT purposes) but is not yet taxable in the hands of the employee.
That is the whisper as the main target for the April 2019 charge.
I was more inclined to that view back in March. Now I'm not so sure.

I suppose they could call in the loans, but that would just mean lots of individual actions anyway (albeit done by the trustees).

a) dump as in drop disputes?
or
b) dump as in hurry up and get letters sent to victims without first finessing the detail?

Originally posted by webberg View PostI was speaking with a tax barrister last week who expressed the following view.
Until the vote last week, a lot of the Civil Service was allowing the EU to "do their thinking for them" in temrs of advising ministers etc. The vote now means that these people are going to become very busy and they will not have time for finessing the detail of policy and arguing the toss over detail. Instead the plan might be to clear the decks and dump as many disputes as possible in order to free up time elsewhere.
Whatever the outcome though, everything will slow down.

We can only hope.

Scotland Question
Feeling a bit mischievous now... but does anyone have a view on how Scotland leaving the UK would affect the rangers EBT case outcome in England.

Genuinely surprised at the result, but delighted to see the dreams of leadership of the architect of APNs going up in smoke.
Karma's a bitch.
