		<description><![CDATA[PCG, who represent contractors and freelancers in the UK, have now given their response to the landmark BN66 ruling at the High Court. The case centred around IT consultant Robert Huitson making a challenge against HMRC's right to claim taxes retrospectively. Mr Huitson's lawyer had argued that the retrospective tax levy was a breach of his human rights. Mr Justice Parker, presiding, disagreed stating that HMRC were within their rights to challenge users of artificial schemes and such individuals were given warning that this could be the case. There has since been widespread concern throughout the industry that this decision will open the doors for further retrospective tax liability.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Royal Court of Justice has ruled against the retrospective effect of BN66 being unlawful. Mr Justice Parker presiding disagreed that there was a breach of human rights with regards to the backdating of the Finance Act Section 55. This retrospective rule has only been in effect since 2008 and imposes tax liabilities dating as far back as 1987. This is the first time that the rule has been backed by the courts. Mr Justice Parker also refused an appeal. Delivering his ruling he stated that had the taxpayer acted prudently there would be no cause to challenge the backdating.]]></description>
