Anyway, these loans are a bit like the ones you would offer a hard-up friend on a night out - here's £20, pay me back when you can but I'm not going to remember this so don't worry about it. Here, however, is the heart of HMRC's case.

For an EBT to stay on the right side of the avoidance/evasion line, these payments cannot be made on a contractual basis, as that would make them wages and therefore subject to the usual deductions. So they should, on occasion, be postponed and even refused by the trustee, who is, in theory, acting independently of the employer anyway.

HMRC says Rangers' EBT did not work like this and was, for all intents and purposes, a tax scam. It also says it has proof of this in the form of documents and emails between Ibrox's top brass and players' agents. So, last year, an angry taxman hit Rangers with a bill for £35m in unpaid tax and interest and £14m in penalties.

Bunch of tax-evading, Queen's pocket-money avoiding ****ers <grr>

Rangers look ****ed. Good <ok>
 
Mon the tax man!

This is shaping up to be the financial version of a gangbang world record attempt. Everyone is going to hammer in there to get their money, with the tax man and Baldy Bain head of the queue.
 
This is getting better.

Linking to BBC News is "digging things up".

After months and months of "it isnae happening","youz are aw wrong" and "The failed social worker is well wide of the mark" type pish, it's now "Please stop digging things up - this is ****ed up"

Lovin' it <ok>
 
can Celtic sue for lost revenue over the last 10 years , when Rangers have been cheating their way to their tainted titles?????
