Loose Women star Kaye Adams is in a second court battle with HMRC over the repayment of £124,000. The presenter previously won her original dispute in 2019, but her case reheard two years later with an Upper Tribunal court siding with her.
During that period Kaye was employed as a freelancer via her own company, Atholl House Productions Ltd. When the case first came to light, it was reported that emphasis was placed on Adams being a freelancer for 20 years, as she has worked for other organisations as well as the BBC - including ITV.The tribunal must now consider whether a hypothetical contract regarding her work would be treated as employment or self-employment, rather than the real contract.
Jeff Zycinski, Head of Radio at BBC Scotland at the time responded, declaring that he "wasn’t aware" of such a policy as he wasn’t involved in contractual discussions. He added, however, that rules at the BBC were "rolled out in quite a haphazard fashion". However, Zycinski argued: "Presenters realise they have a short shelf life so they’ll do as much work as they can when they are young and fit. It’s not unheard of for people in this industry to work much more than what you and me would describe as office hours."
