Pension – Retirement benefit schemes. The Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) (the tribunal) dismissed the appeal by the taxpayer against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal to strike out the taxpayer's appeal against a discovery assessment made by the Revenue and Customs Commissioners in respect of a contribution of assets made by the taxpayer's employer to a retirement benefits scheme on behalf of the taxpayer.
