But does anyone actually believe it was a genuine mistake, rather than a mistake being used as the excuse once he had been busted? All The Best It was not a mistake at all - it was an attempt to minimise taxes by operating in the grey areas of regulation. His accountant thought it legal - HMRC disagreed. On the subject of Raynor I see the investigation has now expanded into looking at her husbands sale of his property - HMRC regulations are clear that married couples can only have one prime residence. So one of them avoided CGT - this gets murkier by the day. Well, if one of them has to fess up to avoiding CGT the cynic in me tells me it will be her husband, so she can hold on to her position. Not sure too many people would believe that; I wouldn't. However, Zahawi DID claim his tax filing was a an error - LINKFrom which: It can NOT possibly be "not deliberate" if it is what you claim it is. Are you saying Zahawi not only deliberately underpaid taxes, but then lied about the reasons for doing so? Surely that requires him to fall on his sword? All The Best

I am now 100% convinced that this campaign of sheer spite is doing the Tories harm, and has mustered a lot of popular support for Angela Rayner. In another article, once again in The Times, this time by ex Tory Mp Matthew Paris, he lays into those Tories who once again, have indulged in a campaign of hate and spite. Mr Paris asks several very relevant questions, such as where was the same sense of outrage at Millionaire Nadhim Zahawi and his (so he says) "mistaken" tax declarations. So let's just clarify this, if this was Tory minister being investigated for the same reasons it would be 'in the public interest', because it's Labour being investigated it's '100% campaign of sheer spite'..... yeah, right we get it

Looks like Labour are going to give pensioners a damn good thrashing if they get in ..
New pensioner tax threat as Labour team demands they pay both NI and IHT on pensions Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves is surrounding herself with advisers who have publicly called for the elderly to pay more tax to HMRC if the Labour Party wins the next general election.

And still won't vote Tory or Reform. That's how bad the Conservative and Reform reputation is. In some ways it would be good to see Reform make real inroads into politics, if only you shake things up a bit. But they will IMO end up the same as UKIP - a one trick pony with not enough breadth or depth of policy or talent to be anything more than a flash in the pan. The ONLY reason they are getting close to the Conservatives' polling numbers is because the Tories are in electoral free-fall right now, even Tory Members not only don't believe they can win, but a significant number don't even want to stand any more. All The Best

Oh, well, forget what said in my previous post. If labour are dumb enough to even consider the they don't deserve to win power. Pensions have, by and large, already been subject to Tax at least once. Anyone topping up their Pension Fund from saving will also have paid a second tranche of Tax on those saving (after Income Tax on the original earnings). Shameful policy form the Right Of Centre New New Labour Party. All The Best

I'm sure Labour know they can't win over mature independent adults, so attacking and threatening to extort them to fund housing for illegals obviously makes sense to them.

However, Zahawi DID claim his tax filing was a an error Yes - he thought it was a good tax avoidance tactic to put his shares in the company he started in his parents names in Gibralter. For the life of me I cannot understand why HMRC disagreed.. People push the boundaries of taxation all the time in an effort to pay as little an amount of tax as possible - Zahawi is no different to everyone else in the country.

But does anyone actually believe it was a genuine mistake, rather than a mistake being used as the excuse once he had been busted? All The Best It was actually settling a HMRC disputed share valuation - he lost and therefore paid up , plus paid interest plus penalty

How so? You have a civil dispute with a shop and go to court - neither the claimant nor defendant are ''crooks'' Those who understand the difference between civil and criminal law knows that you are posting from a level of ignorance known only to lefties I think your use of "knows" should actually be "know". That shows the level of ignorance of the English language some people have. And anyone who thinks ignorance only belongs to one political demographic is merely demonstrating their own ignorance. Boris Johnson was (if anyone is actually stupid enough to believe him) ignorant of the meaning of laws he himself imposed on the rest of us. Clear demonstration that ignorance of the law can also be present on the right side of the (outdated) political spectrum. All The Best Yeah , a typo - big deal

All The Best Zahawi 'went' over a year ago having declared that he had lost a HMRC investigation into a disputed share valuation and had paid a penalty plus taxes The ginger growler probably had a sore throat at the time with all her constant parliamentary attacks on him Do keep up

I do not know how Labour are getting away with all this ...
Labour 'destroyed' documents that could have revealed Angela Rayner’s address The Ashton-under-Lyne MP insists her former council house on Vicarag
Where are the police, isn't there a law against this ..
(2) Every one who wilfully attempts in any manner other than a manner described in subsection (1) to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years.
