Taxes Management

Updated: 02 November 2021; Ref: scu.462659

The claimants sought judicial review of taxation changes which they described as the ‘extreme, unfair and unprecedented retrospective effect’ of legislation overriding all double taxation treaties so as to bring into charge to tax in the UK any share of the income of an overseas firm to which a UK resident is entitled. It was claimed that the changes caused serious concern and potential hardship to the claimants.
Held: Review refused.
