  Annabel's (Berkeley Square) Ltd and others v Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs [2009] EWCA Civ 361 CA (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Minimum wage: Tips paid through "troncmaster" do not count towards minimum wage

    Date:

    27 July 2009

    In Annabel's (Berkeley Square) Ltd and others v Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs [2009] EWCA Civ 361 CA, the Court of Appeal held that, where restaurant or bar tips are paid to staff through a third-party "troncmaster" (from the troncmaster's bank account), the money received by the staff in this way is not "paid by the employer" for the purposes of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. The employment tribunal had therefore erred when it decided that three employers could count money distributed by a troncmaster towards their obligation to pay the minimum wage.

  • Failure to pay minimum wage: Employee must specify nature of complaint

    Date:

    24 November 2007

    In Blackford Farms Ltd v Mulqueeney EATS/0031/06, the EAT held that an employee who lodged an out-of-time claim for unlawful deductions from wages when he was within the time limit for a breach of contract claim should not have been allowed to proceed with his claim. The fact that he could have brought a breach of contract claim did not mean that he had done so.

  Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs v Annabel's (Berkeley Square) Ltd and others EAT/0562/07 (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Minimum wage: Tips paid via troncmaster's account did not count towards minimum wage

    Date:

    11 August 2008

    In Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs v Annabel's (Berkeley Square) Ltd and others EAT/0562/07, the EAT held that tips distributed to workers via a troncmaster's bank account designated for that purpose were not payments made by the employer to the worker, because ownership of the money had passed to the troncmaster. The payments could not, therefore, be calculated as part of the national minimum wage payable to the workers.

  • Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs v Annabels (Berkeley Square) Ltd and others
