Lawyers representing Gary Lineker in his £4.9million tax battle have argued HM Revenues and Customs (HMRC) is ‘looking in the wrong place’ and should have assessed the BBC.
HMRC is now pursuing him for £4.9million that it claimed should have been paid on income received between 2013 and 2018.
‘IR35 has nothing to do with it, they just looked in the wrong direction, and it proceeds from this assumption that a partnership is in some way an entity, and it isn’t, not this type of partnership.’He went on: ‘HMRC are looking in the wrong place here, if they thought there was a quasi-employment relationship between Mr Lineker and the BBC and BT Sport they should have assessed them.
‘They shouldn’t have used this tortuous machinery to do it which gives rise to all sorts of issues of double taxation.’ It follows similar attempts by HMRC to target broadcasters including Lorraine Kelly and Kaye Adams, in which both won their cases on appeal.The presenter is expected to argue that his partnership Gary Lineker Media is required to funnel his income through because of the wide variety of work he does.
