Article summary

Tax analysis: In M R Currell Ltd v HMRC, the Upper Tribunal (UT) considered an appeal of the taxpayer company against a decision of the First-tier Tax Tribunal (FTT) that a director and shareholder of the taxpayer company received taxable earnings in circumstances where the company had made a contribution to an employee benefit trust (EBT) which then subsequently loaned an equivalent amount to the shareholder director. The UT set aside the decision of the FTT and re-made it, allowing the taxpayer company’s appeal.
