Dunsby v HMRC; (FTT)
The First-tier Tribunal released its Decision in Mark Dunsby v The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
Laura Poots acted for HMRC in this case concerning a scheme designed to allow shareholders in private companies to extract profits without paying income tax, by taking advantage of the settlements legislation. The First-Tier Tribunal found that the shareholder was taxable under the settlements legislation, or in the alternative under the transfer of assets abroad regime, and the taxpayer’s appeal was dismissed.
