    Players have the side letter to protect them.
    I'm unsure as what the side letter protects against. If it protects them from paying tax on any monies earned via an EBT then so be it. That then also opens up a can of worms for their lawyers/agents as knowingly signing such a contract is against SFA rules.

    Their CVA wiped that tax debt.
    Only the tax debt legally owed at the time

    Do you think there is the appetite for that?
    This is a precedent, nothing more. Bar dipping their beaks into the Oldco Creditors Pot, HMRC are now finished with Rangers.

    This legal ruling will be used to bash much bigger fish over the head with backdated tax demands though as always HMRC will run shy of taking on the real monsters like Vodafone who seem to sort their tax avoidance out by taking the Chancellor of the Exchequer for lunch.
    Similar scenario.

    “Furthermore, so far as the footballers are concerned, at least, it seems to us that if bonuses had not been paid they might well have taken their services elsewhere. We realise that the fifth respondent [RFC 2012] was in, potentially, a difficult financial position, competing for good players in an international market where other countries may not have the same rigorous approach to taxation as the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, the law is clear: the payments made in respect of footballers were in our view derived from their employment and thus the payments were emoluments or earnings.”

    Important paragraph from judgement. They cheated to get better players.

    Pretty sure there was a quote from David Murray saying that was exactly the reason for the scheme. In saying that I am not sure how that worked in Billy Dodds case.

    Nothing to the new club but makes a mockery of the Lord nimmo smith hearings.
    There is nobody left to appeal.

    I think HMRC have bigger issues to deal with having just been handed an absolute kicking by the Public Accounts Committee.

    Did they not pay up for that before they went under, and so kept themselves in business a wee bit longer? Though my head is wasted with several years of football finance, and initials upon initials - I might have confused that with some other initial they gave in to HMRC on.

    Wasn't there already a precedent set with Arsenal?

    http://www.theguardian.com/football/...wsstory.sport9


    This was conveniently ignored when it came to Rangers, up until today.
    You are correct but Arsenal's resources are so much greater than that of Rangers, as was, it is easier, quicker and cheaper to establish the precedent against Rangers.

    About £60m roughly.
    Depends if HMRC want to Perdue them. They would need to prove they were part of the conspiracy. Players have the side letter to protect them.

    And as they will be established as loans will the recipients be pursued for repayment.

    They struck a deal to pay it off but didn't cough up.

    See their loss of 7.5 million, does that take in the debt of 5 million to Mash? I am assuming the answer is no but just wanted clarification. If Charles Green wins his court case that could really push them over the edge.

    Shouldn't Oldco now be stripped of the trophies and titles won while using EBTs?
    If so that makes us champions the season we finished 3rd in the mid 90s!

    HMRC Win Appeal - Are they Rangers or are they Not?

    STV reporting that HMRC have won their Tax appeal against Rangers

    http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/r...s-or-earnings/


    So, if this is the indeed the case, now they have to decide

    Are they Rangers or are they a brand new company with no connection to the old defunct lot?

    Interesting

    The debt isn't included in the loss.

    The loans were put into the company to cover the loss and allow them to continue trading.

    A great opportunity to pay the £60m owed to the tax man and pretend they're oldco with an admission of officially cheating their way to honours.

    Oldco - strip them of their cheated honours

    As it says on the tin. Now we officially know they've been cheating for various honours, they need to have them stripped from their (now stopped) history. Even if not given to another club, Rangers didn't earn them.

    They are indeed a NEW team,dont let the cavemen from the west tell you any differently, i think it's their low intelligence level which makes them believe they are the same team.

    its like your beloved pet labrador, sadly died so you get a new one, you may call it the same name however, it is infact NEW, it isn't the same dog

    dirty smelly huns

    Don't think that's the case. The judgement establishes the payments as emoluments, not loans. Therefore they can't be repayable.
