I have already pointed out that the evidence for 'tax evasion' is way higher than 'tax avoidance'
Still here is the instruction of the judge to the jury.....
He also said that if Redknapp honestly believed, as he told the court, that tax had been paid on the money by Mandaric on the payments in the United States, he could be acquitted.
“If he honestly believed there was no tax in respect of UK tax, that provides Mr Redknapp with a defence to either or both charges,” the judge said.
The second line is particularly odd. I mean if you set up an offshore account in Monaco, presumably you do it in the belief that money your deposit will not be liable to tax in the UK. If the money was to be liable to tax in the UK I might as well put it in my UK account. Of course you might assume that Mandaric had already paid the tax for you which would also be fine.
I mean by definition you set up an offshore account on the basis the money you place in it is not subject to UK tax. And if all I have to do is believe that I am not subject to UK tax to be taxed by the UK authorities, I can state not only that 'I believe I am not subject to tax' but 'I also know' that I am not subject to tax'. I can also state that I can set up an offshore account in the 'honest belief' and '100% certainty' that it is not subject to UK tax.
I mean if all you have to do is 'honestly believe' you already 'know' dont you?

...Well if you have something to hide setting an offshore account under the name of your dog would seem mentally retarded... Edited by katana, 2012-02-09 05:57:50. #204
