SAS Marks v HMRC

In SAS Marks v HMRC (TC01086 – 20 April) a company director (M) owned the entire share capital of two companies (a UK company and an overseas company) at 31 March 1982. He disposed of some of the shares between 2000 and 2004.

HMRC formed the opinion that M’s returns were incorrect as they overestimated the value of the shares at 31 March 1982. They issued amendments to M’s self-assessments valuing the two companies at £3 100 000 at that date. M appealed contending that the companies had had a total value of £8 425 000.
