BBC Presenters Tax appeal, High Court, London, UK-9 May 2018
Joanna Gosling arrives at the High Court
BBC presenters appealing a huge tax bill said the broadcaster put them on an elegant form of zero hours contracts, a court heard.
HMRC claims more than 100 BBC staff owe them more in tax and is claiming £920,000 from newsreaders Joanna Gosling, David Eades and Tim Willcox at the High Court.
In a test case, the household name broadcasters are arguing they were pushed into setting up personal service companies (PSCs) so the BBC could avoid paying National Insurance contributions.
