Left: Nadhim Zahawi pays a £5 million fine for a 'non deliberate' and 'careless' offence, 'a misdemeanour'

Right: Guardian headline, 'Carer convicted over benefit error worth 30p a week fights to clear his name'

One person who accidentally avoids paying millions in tax gets a…

In an interview with Laura Kuenssberg, Nadhim Zahawi says that 'on reflection, maybe he should have been clearer' that he was under investigation from HMRC.

He was pretty clear there was no investigation when he paid lawyers to send me legal threats:

Nadhim Zahawi doesn’t half make a lot ‘innocent mistakes’ that benefit him financially.

Like charging the tax payer for heating his stables. Not paying £4m in tax.

So kind of him to pay the financial penalty ‘because he was Chancellor’

Nadhim Zahawi paid lawyers to threaten @danneidle about Dan's inquiries into Zahawi's non payment of tax on sale of shares.

Zahawi had to pay £5 million in back tax and a penalty

Zahawi's lawyers are now under investigation from the regulator

Dear Laura Kuenssberg
Nadhim Zahawi, former Chancellor and Al Capone tribute act, is on your show later.

Be a good lass and ask him about his tax affairs. In particular, why did he shamelessly try to dodge £3.7million in taxes.
#BBCLauraK

Jamshed Bhatti laundered £3.5m and didn't pay any tax on it, a trifle compared to Nadhim Zahawi's £18.5m that he didn't pay tax on.

But Jamshed Bhatti was sentenced to 6.5 years in jail.

Nadhim Zahawi 0 days.

Nadhim Zahawi's book, to be followed up by a sequel, Hot Horses.

The brazen front of Zahawi when lightly quizzed on dodging £5 million in tax, he just plugs his book.
Pure Truss levels of conceit.
Go, just go.

State of this shithorsery. Nadhim Zahawi plugging his book
#bbclaurak #ToriesOut675

Nadhim Zahawi on #bbclaurak saying not fully declaring and paying his tax was an innocent mistake. While plugging his book. Twice.

He got found out by tax expert Dan Neidle (and then tried to silence him via his lawyers).

He eventually paid £5m to HMRC (including £1m penalty).

Live scenes from the Green Room at BBC studios as Nadhim Zahawi relaxes with the pre-scripted interview questions prior to his appearance on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg where he’ll be getting a full body ego massage and definitely won’t be asked about his tax affairs

#bbclaurak

The killer phrase here is Greater Manchester Police said they “had “no updates to pass on”.

Lord Bamford, Michelle Mone and Zadhim Zahawi were also unavailable for comment having all run away. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

What an impartial show!
We have:
• Nadhim Zahawi - Dodgy Daves, former minister.

• Kuenssberg - Tory Covert Minister for Communications

• Dodgy Dave - Failed PM, failed UK, and failed to stop selling arms to the Middle East.

Not biased at all!

Nadhim Zahawi, RT if you feel the same.

#bbclaurak
At least the cover of Nadhim Zahawi's memoir is honest.

Nadhim Zahawi got £26m from selling his shares in YouGov, but transferred them to an offshore company so he didn't have to pay any tax.

He hid and blocked investigation for 6 years, before finally he was forced to pay the tax + interest

If it was you, you'd be in jail for Fraud

Nadhim Zahawi’s SLAPP has now resulted in disciplinary action for his lawyer.

A thread on why it happened, and what it means - for the lawyer, for SLAPPS, and for Zahawi himself.

When Nadhim Zahawi avoided £5m in tax he said it was 'non deliberate' and 'careless'. Whereas when my wife avoided £20m tax, I'm pleased to say it was 'careful' and 'deliberate'.

Nadhim Zahawi is writing a book ‘The boy from Baghdad‘

If will feature his escapades in dodging tax, falsely claiming heating to warm his horses, and sending other POOR immigrants to Rwanda.

Strangely it’s expected to sell even less than Liz Truss’ toilet book.

Zara Sultana as always

brutally honest about the obscene decision to welcome
natalie elphicke into the Labour Party

This is why she’ll never rise to the front benches, she too honest

Then there’s smarmy nadhim zahawi forgetting Tory sleaze
