Lineker Wins £4.9M Tax Case Against HMRC

Lineker wins his £4.9m tax appeal on the contract law doctrine of privity. FTT held there were contracts "directly between" him and BBC & BT which means that IR35 that applies “where services are provided NOT under a contract directly between client and the worker” doesn't apply. pic.twitter.com/SM9zapRG6F

HMRC will most assuredly appeal this, if they don't IR35 is fucked!

Lineker's Cunning Tax Plan

 

The UK media has got itself into a right old state over Gary Lineker's recent outbreak of Nazi Tourettes, in which he equated proposed changes in the UK asylum regulations with Germany in the 1930s.

This in turn caused a fall out with the BBC, and a spat about whether he was allowed to "speak his mind" etc etc. All dutifully salivated over by our pathetic media.

However, beneath this very public spat lies a possible method in Lineker's madness. The media have dutifully ignored that fact that he is currently in an IR35 dispute with HMRC, over a not so trifling sum of £5M. It hinges on whether Lineker can prove he really is freelance, as opposed to a full time employee. His little bust up with the BBC is designed to show he is freelance, thus saving him a tidy £5M.

Hunt Told To Invest in HMRC

 

The accountancy, bookkeeping, payroll and tax professional bodies have joined forces to highlight the impact poor HMRC service levels are having on the businesses and agents. 

The open letter goes on to blame insufficient resourcing and underinvestment in HMRC’s systems for causing severe delays, business disruption and frustration.

Good luck with that then!

Tax Avoidance vs Tax Evasion

 

Tax avoidance and tax evasion are two terms used to describe different types of behaviour related to paying taxes.

Tax avoidance refers to the legal practice of arranging one's financial affairs in a way that minimises the amount of taxes owed. It involves using legal tax deductions, credits, and exemptions to reduce one's tax liability. Tax avoidance is considered acceptable and legal by all, except the ignorant and politicians looking for a soundbite.

Tax evasion, on the other hand, is the illegal practice of not reporting all of one's income or assets to the tax authorities in order to evade paying taxes. Tax evasion involves intentionally misrepresenting or concealing information from the tax authorities to reduce or eliminate one's tax liability. Tax evasion is illegal and can result in criminal charges and penalties.

In summary, tax avoidance is legal and involves taking advantage of legal tax deductions and exemptions to minimise one's tax liability, while tax evasion is illegal and involves intentionally failing to report income or assets to evade paying taxes.
