Rangers tax ruling appeal

THE tax man has lodged an appeal against a ruling that found in favour of Rangers' use of controversial Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs).

The Ibrox club argued the payments, thought to be close to £49 million, had been loans rather than wages and therefore not subject to tax.

It comes three months after a First Tier Tax Tribunal found in Rangers' favour in the so-called "big tax case". It stated the "controversial monies received by the employees were not paid to them as their absolute entitlement".
