Red Bull accepting an ABA would be easy for them to do and the damage would be limited but they seem to want to defend it, we shall see.
One thing that appears to be a potential bone of contention is Adrian Newey which would be rather ironic. Apparently he gets paid as a consultant to the company probably to his own limit company. Expect if that is the case he reduces his own tax burden but what the issue then is he isn't an employee and can't be called as one of the top 3 highest paid within the cost cap rules. If this is the case it would be funny and from an accounting prospective he is most certainly a supplier and NOT an employee and the auditors will have the same view and like FIA and their auditors.
Looking at the accounts Hemet, Christian, DM and a few others are directors but interestingly not Adrian which would back things up as you would expect him to be a director considering his role but no.
