jun 8, 2016 - Letter received from UEFA by Res12 Solicitor where UEFA state that UEFA licence was granted on 19th April and list submitted to them on 26th May, 5 days after the tax bill arrived at Ibrox and 20 days after the Takeover of RFC by when the Takeover undertaking to pay HMRC the overdue £2.8m liability should have been met.

Description:

UEFA explain that any sanction for having an overdue payable at the monitoring stage would apply in 2012/13 (so no loss to Celtic shareholders in 2011.)

They further offered, unsolicited, but to justify not investigating, that no sanctions could now apply to Rangers FC because UEFA view The Rangers FC/Rangers International FC) and current SFA member, as a new club/company, who were ineligible to apply for a UEFA licence (from 2012 until 2015 when a 3 years’ membership period of the SFA would have been reached) and so who as far as UEFA were concerned could not be sanctioned for behaviour of RFC as TRFC/RIFC are a different football club/company from Rangers Football Club whose name appeared on the last application made by Rangers FC for a UEFA Licence made to SFA in March 2012 which was refused prior to their liquidation in October 2012 and where it is clear under “Timing” that the relevant date for reporting tax overdue under Article 50 of UEFA FFP is 31st March.)

Finally, UEFA pointed out that as the event in question was over 5 years old they would not investigate under a UEFA time bar although this is not so if corruption is involved.
