Inland Revenue v Hinchy: HL 18 Feb 1960

HL Income Tax – Incorrect return – Amount of penalty – Income Tax Act, 1952 (15 and 16 Geo. VI and 1 Eliz. II, c. 10), Section 25 (3).
A court’s search for parliamentary intention is not an enquiry as to what the executive sought to achieve in drafting the Bill, but is ascertained from the applications of canons of statutory construction to the words of the Act. The object of interpretation is to discover the intention of Parliament, the subjective intention of the Members of Parliament and others involved in the lawmaking process is irrelevant.

A railway company under a contractual obligation with its officers paid their salaries without exercising its right under section 6 of the Income Tax Act 1860 of deducting the tax from the salaries. Held ( aff. the judgment of the First Division) that the amounts paid by the company in respect of income tax of its officers formed part of the income of the officer for income tax purposes, and that the company was assessable not only on the salaries actually paid, but also on the sums paid as income tax.

In 1913, one of the two pre-war trade years, payment was made to the Glenboig Union Fireclay Company of pounds 15,316, 11s. 4d. by a railway company as compensation in terms of the Railways Clauses Act 1845 for minerals left unworked for support of their line. The sum was entered in the revenue account of the Glenboig Company for the year in which it was paid, and on it the company paid income tax, A question having arisen as to whether this sum fell to be included in computing the ‘amount of the profits arising from the trade or business’ of the company in the pre-war year 1913, held ( aff. judgment of the Court of Session) that the sum in question was not profits within the meaning of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1915, it not being of the nature of an annual profit arising from trade, but money paid in respect of an asset of the company which had to that extent been sterilised and destroyed, and that accordingly it could not be included as profit in the company’s balance-sheet for the year 1913.

John Mander Pension Trustees Ltd v Revenue and Customs: SC 29 Jul 2015

The pension scheme had been approved, but that approval later withdraw. HMRC issued assessment for the years in which it had been approved. The taxpayer argued that such assessments applied to the date with effect from which the approval is withdraw, HMRC contended that it was in the year in which withdrawal was notified. The taxpayer appealed from decisions against its position.
Held: (Lord Carnwath and Hodge dissenting) The appeal was allowed. The Inland Revenue were not entitled to assess the administrator of the John Mander Pension Scheme to tax under section 591C of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 for the year 2000-2001.
Held: The taxpayer’s appeal failed: ‘It is inherent in the process of assessment that a taxpayer may be assessed to tax on profits or gains that arose in a charging period earlier than that in which the assessment was raised. This occurs whenever tax is assessed in arrears. The period of retrospectivity may be considerable if profits or gains for an earlier period were previously overlooked or wrongly thought not to be chargeable to tax. But it may also occur when something happens which makes it necessary to recharacterise the taxpayer’s financial affairs in an earlier period. Before this state of affairs can be regarded as anomalous, we need to ask ourselves what the recharacterisation involves. It would be surprising if the law allowed a tax to be charged in an earlier period by reference to criteria which did not apply until a later one. On the other hand, it may involve no more than a recognition of facts which always existed.’
