Hello
In this week's web-update we hope we can take your minds off the events of such a horrible week in the UK. In tax there are often 'known unknowns'. Most taxpayers probably don't realise this until they enter into a dispute with HMRC. We feature quite a topical collection of these taxing things this week.
In The Leeds Cricket Football & Athletic Company Limited v HMRC [2019] TC4486 the FTT found that cricket hospitality was a separable business from the Headingly Stadium with its own goodwill attaching: it was not merely an income stream anciliary to the land.
In Paya Ltd, Allday Media Ltd & Tim Willcox Ltd v HMRC [2019] TC7377 the First Tier tribunal found IR35 applied to the personal service companies of three BBC presenters but their advisers did not act carelessly.
In Matharu Delivery Service Ltd TC7347 and Bhapinder Matharu TC7324 a company and its director, failed to show why it was unreasonable of HMRC to demand a detailed directors’ loan account schedule and copies of his private bank statements.
