In Kickabout Productions Limited v HMRC [2019] TC7230 the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) narrowly decided that for the purposes of the hypothetical employment contract requirement of IR35, that radio broadcaster Paul Hawksbee would not have been an employee of TalkSPORT. This decision was overturned by the Upper Tribunal in July 2020.

In HMRC v Dundas Heritable [2019] UKUT0208 the Upper tribunal agreed with the FTT; Schedule 18 of FA 1998 does allow a taxpayer to make late capital allowance claims if there is an open HMRC enquiry into the relevant tax return.
