Don’t Expect HMRC to Help You
There is a serious point here – HMRC do their best to
promote the view that there is a “correct” amount of tax that is due as a
result of any particular transaction, whereas in all but the simplest of cases,
there are grey areas and the way a transaction is structured can make a big
difference to the resulting tax bill.
As Lord Tomlin said in the House of Lords during the case of
The Duke of Westminster v The
Commissioners of Inland Revenue in 1936 “Every man is entitled if he can to
order his affairs so that the tax attaching under the appropriate Acts is less
than it would otherwise be”.
That remains good law and seems to me a sensible way to deal
with the State’s demands for ever higher taxes, but don’t expect HMRC to help
you!
