When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

In short Rayner had to resign due to concerted media & political pressure over a single stamp duty mistake. Millionaire Tice bankrolled his party through deliberate, dodgy, tax-avoiding corporate tricks and yet the media pressure is limited to a few outlets. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Anna Turley, Chair of the Labour Party, responding to the Richard Tice business tax avoidance allegations:

“This is a major scandal for Richard Tice, Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Tice claimed last month that he had done nothing wrong in using complex structures to minimise his business's tax liability. But it is now alleged that his business did not just avoid tax: it broke the law. 

“Tice must now urgently explain why his business did not pay the tax that appears to have been owed, pay it back, and face the consequences. His credibility is shot and his integrity is in serious question.

“Nigel Farage needs to decide whether he is happy for someone whose business reportedly unlawfully underpaid tens of thousands of pounds in tax to be Reform’s deputy leader and responsible for its business policy. It’s more evidence that Reform aren’t on the side of working people: they’re just out for themselves.”
