Contributions to EBT's were legitimate. It was the way that RFC ran their scheme that got them into difficulties.Quote:

Alot of Paparazzi and media with both TV and Radio waiting at tynecastle this morning when i parked my car.
Always wish they would give me a wee interview on the situation.
If they were operating a similar scheme as the Huns then it's quite possible dual contracts were involved.Quote:

sat here patiently waiting for the updates, have the countdown tune in my head haha
Is the hope/belief in this not based on Satchel's court claim that his contract was for £150k pa? :dunno:Quote:

From a while ago. Not saying he's definitely implicated but there is at least some suspicion.
Got to be worth looking at more closely I would have thought.
Sorry if already mentioned, but it now seems to be apparent that Hearts weren't paying tax (as well as their wages) earlier this year when they were on their cup run and signing Craig Beattie - when the SFA gave their verdict on Rangers' tax evasion they said that the only thing more serious would have been them being found guilty of match fixing. Now that day in May will never change, it will always be an horrendous one for us and a memory that they'll always have, and I certainly wouldn't want any retrospective awarding of trophies, nor do I see much point in them having it taken off them - however, they are still guilty of the same crime now, so should they be allowed to defend a tainted trophy? The SFA considered a Scottish Cup ban for Rangers, I don't see how Hearts can be allowed in this year's competition really.
That doesn't say EBTs were operated at Hearts. It talks about half the wages being paid from Lithuania, which was confirmed in the Evening News a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

If the players are de facto employed in the UK, doesn't that mean that Hearts are acting as agents and are required to pay HMRC, regardless of where the salary comes from? Isn't it up to Hearts to get the money from Kaunas to cover the players tax liability, rather than have it essentially waived by Hector?Quote:

As was mentioned in the thread on the PM board he could be here for the big tax case. Other than him, their directors have been noticably absent.
I'd agree with this. The mention in the RTC blog of the player who could only demonstrate a near minimum wage salary, but explained he was also paid from overseas should raise some suspicion. This very same incident was discussed on the Sevco thread here.Quote:

Just listened to BBC Scotland there and it would appear that the suitcases were empty when they arrived and no doubt be full of anything that is of value(the SFA should ask for the cup back just in case it ends up in Lith land) when they leave.
BBC saying it is down to the fans to save there club. :lolyam:
:agree:Quote:
