That tweet, assuming it is genuine, is exactly what I’d expect HMRC to say. However, before releasing the story and the likely ramifications, the Times’ editor will have taken legal advice and must feeel he/she is on strong ground. Let it play out and see if HMRC are still keeping the same line once the facts come out.
I’m just surprised it doesn’t say “Sevco.”" We won against Rangers " Is this really the language of an official Government body ?

So?Tax case wasn´t against sevco tbf
So?
A poet tweeting about Rangers wouldn’t consider such minor detail.
Besides I’m sure you’re not daft enough to think my post was serious.
That "won" wording is bizarre. It has a football fan feel to it, which i suspect is behind this
I think we have the same point that their comment is childish and unbecoming of an organisation responsible for collecting the finances to run the country but in my view I expected this type of response. I can’t wait until everything fully unravels and shows their role in the whole debacle.It’s the exact opposite of what I’d expect HMRC to say in a public forum to be honest.
The issue is still ‘live’ (based on the fact we are all talking about it) and their general party line is ‘we don’t comment on individual cases’.
It just reads like some social admin who has been getting abuse on their twitter all day has decided to have a little tantrum making them look wholly unprofessional in the process. But as mentioned the fact it hasn’t been deleted would suggest it is tacitly approved by management.

So if that’s Jim Harra then they’re coming out fighting. With the same “won” language, hence why the tweet still exists. Anything that wasn’t sanctioned would be off Twitter by now - now we know that it clearly was!
Let’s just see then, gloves off.
ffs HMRC is now publicly discussing Rangers tax affairs through the letters page in a newspaper, whilst the liquidation is still in progress.Their Top Tax man Jim Harrah has just added to Twitter a letter to the newspaper.
The club’s insolvency. We know where he’s coming from then.Their Top Tax man Jim Harrah has just added to Twitter a letter to the newspaper.
