Eamonn Holmes may have to pay up to £250,000 after losing a case against HMRC about taxes
February 25, 2020 - 08:59 GMT Emmy Griffiths Eamonn Holmes could be facing a bill of up to £250,000 after losing an appeal against HM Revenue and Customs over how much he should be paying in taxes. The This Morning presenter released a statement via Contractor Calculator about the case, with his spokesperson writing:"Eamonn has always considered himself a self-employed freelancer and has never knowingly avoided paying taxes.
The presenter previously spoke about the situation, claiming that the rules have been unfairly changed. He said:"I was in a court in central London for a week in June. I've been freelance for 28 years and that's been okay. Now they've said it's not okay. They have reinvented the rules in the past couple of years. There is nobody more freelance than me, but they are trying to prove our jobs are regular and guaranteed. They could go at any moment.
The judge, Judge Morgan, confirmed that Eamonn didn't try to avoid paying taxes, saying:"Mr Holmes has a forceful personality and his passion for his presenting and journalistic work was readily apparent. In that context, I find it unsurprising that Mr Holmes would want to engage others to organise and deal with the legal and other details of his engagements for him so that he can focus on what really interests him, namely, his presenting and journalistic work.
