  • IRC V. Willoughby
    HOUSE OF LORDS Lord Nolan Lord Mustill Lord Hoffmann Lord Clyde Lord Hutton OPINIONS OF THE LORDS OF APPEAL FOR JUDGMENT IN THE CAUSE COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE (APPELLANTS) v. WILLOUGHBY (RESPONDENT) (FIRST APPEAL) COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE (APPELLANTS) v. WILLOUGHBY (RESPONDENT) (SECOND APPEAL) (CONSOLIDATED APPEALS) ON 10 JULY 1997 LORD NOLAN My Lords, In this appeal the Commissioners of Inland Revenue seek to uphold five assessments to income tax, four of which were made on the respondent Professor Willoughby for the years of assessment 1987/8 to 1990/1 inclusive and the fifth of which was made on his wife, the respondent Mrs. Willoughby, for the year of assessment 1990/1. The assessment upon Professor Willoughby for 1987/8 was made under section 478 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970. The remaining assessments were made under section 739 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, which replaced and re-enacted section 478 of the Act of 1970 without material alteration. The origin of these sections is to be found in section 18 of the Finance Act 1936, a section whose provisions, either in their original or in their re-enacted form, have been considered by your Lordships' House on previous occasions. It will be convenient, and sufficient for all relevant purposes, if as a general rule I refer to these provisions in the form in which they appear in the Act of 1988. Section 739 is the first section in Chapter III of Part XVII of the Act, which is concerned with the transfer of assets abroad.
