Redevco Properties UK 1 Limited v The Commissioners for HMRC

The Tribunal held that the Exit Charge Provisions were incompatible with EU law due to the lack of an option to defer payment of tax, but that a conforming construction could be applied to s 59D TMA to allow payment in five equal annual instalments. The Tribunal followed Panayi, finding no legitimate expectation or legal certainty issue precluding this approach, and dismissed the appeal except as to the balancing charge, which was conceded by HMRC.
