Baker v Archer-Shee: HL 26 Jul 1927

‘The ultimate question in this Appeal turns upon the description which in income tax phraseology ought properly to be applied to the moneys paid during the two years in question by the Trust Company of New York to the order of Lady Archer-Shee, the respondent’s wife, at Messrs. J. P. Morgan and Company’s Bank there. None of these moneys have been received in the United Kingdom. It is that fact which, if his contention as to their true description be correct, enables the respondent to say that he is not liable to pay income tax in respect of them, either in whole, in part, or at all.’

Judges:

Viscount Sumner, Lord Atkinson, Lord Wrenbury, Lord Carson, Lord Blanesburgh
