4 nov 2015 - HMRC appeal to the Court of Session that the
Big Tax Case related to disguised
remuneration is successful
Description:
In November 2015, their appeal that the £47 million-worth of EBT payments made to Rangers employees over nine years were undeclared taxable earnings was upheld by all three judges, which led to further questions as to whether Rangers had gained an unfair sporting advantage by using the scheme. Lord Drummond Young himself said in his ruling that if the club hadn't operated the EBT scheme, some players "might well have taken their services elsewhere".
