  • 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.

  • Length of Legislation Paper
    LENGTH OF TAX LEGISLATION AS A MEASURE OF COMPLEXITY In his seminal Hardman lecture, Adam Broke pointed to the length of tax legislation, the language used, the drafting style and the diversity of taxes as all contributing to the complexity of the UK tax code1. To this list could also be added political pressures and policy initiatives, both of which impact on tax legislation. In addition to our specific reviews, the Office of Tax Simplification (“OTS”) is analysing the underlying problem of complexity in the tax system. This paper focuses on the length of legislation, although it must be recognised that all the contributing factors are interlinked to a certain extent. In 2009 it was reported that the UK tax code had exceeded that of India and, at 11,520 pages was the longest in the world2. Many of us remember when the Butterworths/Tolley’s Yellow Tax Handbook3 (or the equivalent CCH Green Book) was a much more manageable two (or even one!) volumes, instead of the five volumes that there are today. The increasing length of UK tax legislation is often cited as indicating that the tax system is becoming more complex. The aim of the work carried out by the OTS was to consider the extent to which length contributes to complexity. We also ascertained the actual length of the UK tax code and the increase in its length since the introduction of corporation tax in 1965. This paper is to look at the length of legislation in more detail than just by reference to the size of Tolley’s Yellow and Orange Tax Handbooks4 (the “Yellow Book” and the “Orange Book” respectively), although these have been considered in some detail.
