Lorraine Kelly wins £1.2bn tax row against HMRC over ITV work

Four years later, she was sent a bill of nearly £900,000 in income tax and more than £300,000 in national insurance contributions.What did the judge say in her ruling? The judge said that Kelly could be classed as a"theatrical artist", which would mean any payments to an agent would be allowed as a tax-deductible expense.

"Quite simply put, the programmes are entertaining, Ms Kelly is entertaining and the 'DNA' referred to is the personality, performance, the 'Lorraine Kelly' brand that is brought to the programmes."

Wouldn't it be nice if the wealthy didn't have these loopholes?🙄

She was suddenly extremely attractive then I saw you meant million not billion and all became as it was.

😱 £1.2b? Too early for someone at social media wing

hackneyabbott school of maths🙄

Billion

Good on her, two fingers up to the hmrc

Damn is she can earn £1.2bn I am sure some people would argue that they pay way too much for ITV in the UK 💸💰💸💰💸💰💸💰💸💰💸💰

1.2bn ? There is more money than i thought in daytime tv.

A bit of copy checking would go a long way

What kind of business is she doing with ITV to have a £1.2bn tax row?

Bet that put a bigger smile on her already smiley face.

£1.2bn according to reports from who Dianne Abbott

I'm so happy that another rich person who can afford to pay their tax bill doesn't have to pay it.

1.2bn wow

Is this £1.2 Billion or £1.2 Million The story is confusing

Dear BBC You got it wrong again it’s not £billions it’s a £million but you have issues with blowing your tax payers cash all time maybe basic math lessons for your folks would help.

BBC once again showing it’s not fit for purpose. An error not a typo. It’s an obvious one, but how many others are made that are not obvious and contribute to fake news. They are totally unreliable and far from independent

What does ITV pay Lorraine Kelly if HMRC want £1.2 billion?!

With all the self induced and manufactured despondency and gloom created In the UK this is a great good news story

£Bn? Looks like the proofreading's been outsourced to the same outfit put in charge of impartiality.

Fake news

Billion? She must be on some money

1.2BN?! I want her job!!! (Or bbc can’t count....)

what ever the amount is, why pursue LK this way but none of the big tax avoiders like Amazon et al, maybe then we'd see the billions owed collected.

Billion?!!! lorraine

I always thought how over 'sincere' she sounds when interviewing guests. It's all fake. That show shouldn't even be called 'Lorraine' as most of the time ive ever seen it she's on leave and has a stand-in presenter. super brilliant great

Who done the sums? Diane Abbott

Well.. Look at Uuuuuuu! Fan dabi dozy.. Wee Rosie will be spoilt.. Och Aye..

Billion or million? Big difference. More sloppy BBC work

Click bait

British Bullshit Corporation got it wrong again Have they been to the Dianne Abbot school of maths

Which charity is she donating to then ?

fafmilf

Better fix this tweet or HRMC will be back on the case

Wow!

That's some result.

Fake news ..... on steroids. 😁

£1.2b would be surprising.

Being self employed is the biggest tax avoidance scheme out there....people who are employed get fleeced. But guess what - NO party wants to touch it - not even Labour - ‘The workers party’!

maybe correct billion for million in the strap line. she’s good, but she’s not that good.

Diane Abbott is her lawyer

BBC can't count.

£1.2 billion is a heck of a tax bill, she must have higher incomes than Google.

Arithmetic

Should this not be 1.2m?

Left wing news with left wing maths 🤔

£1.2bn? Jesus....

Million, not billion. Force of habit, you’re used to writing about how much money Chris Grayling has wasted.

How much? 😂😂

£1.2bn? How much did she make?

£1.2 billion tax bill, how much does she earn?!

You need to get HackneyAbbott in. She'll do your maths for you.

I think you mean £1.2m!!

GMB check this out .....lol

Another bbc blunder, quite common nowadays!

Theatrical artist - Drama Queen ?

TV presenter making 1.2b wow, she must be the best paid in the world 😉

Someone needs to check their abbreviations before hitting send.

BILLIONS!!

£1.2 billion wow drinks on her! 🎉

Dundee United due some investment then?

HOW MUCH?

Jesus. She got more dough than Oprah 😂😂

£1.2bn

Even your own story says it’s £1.2 MILLION that she doesn’t need to pay.... not £1.2 BILLION....

I'd like a reversal of that rule in the sense that she should only get the tax break when she appears on TV all pissed off and moody as fuck.

Pretty sure £900,000 plus £300,000 is £1.2 MILLION

Congrats Lady 👏👏

Really? How much is she paid?

£1.2 Billion What must piersmorgan be on let alone susannareid100

reallorraine check this out......lol

Crikey that's a big win. Typo me thinks 🤣

£1.2bn? Seriously bad reporting

Billion 😳😳😳😳😳
