Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters. The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.
The Clacton MP, who is also paid a £94,000-a-year MP’s salary, has in the past criticised people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy” and has previously come under fire for setting up a trust fund in an offshore tax haven.
He has also claimed that some tax avoidance schemes were acceptable. “Most forms of legal tax avoidance are OK, but clearly some are not,” * he said in 2014, adding that nobody voluntarily paid anything to HMRC while defending reducing a tax bill within the law.
*such as those deployed by members of rival political parties...although he wasn't prepared to throw stones in his glasshouse when he said of Angela Rayner “jolly good luck to her” when she was criticised by the Tories over her tax affairs over the summer.

Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties. The use of personal service companies is not illegal, but it has been criticised across the political spectrum as a way to reduce tax bills. Farage has declined to publish his tax returns for 2023/24.
The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for about 190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel.
2k an hour to talk ******...F.boy must be green with envy!

Yes I’m sure every Reform voter is a millionaire that does the same.
Condensed version: Farage the millionaire, if he won power would make policies go benefit millionaires.
Fickos think he is a man of the people

You are such a muppet
It is up to each individual tax payer to submit their claim/remittance before the due date unless they are snarled up withing the highly intrusive PAYE system.
Due to my complicated income as someone well past pensionable age, I am forced so sort out my own tax affairs on behalf of the HMRC.
I use all of the tax skirting that is legally available to me and thus avoiding unnecessary payments. Tax avoidance in the UK is completely legal, where tax evasion is not. If those who could be eligible for their own tax affairs choose to be lazy and allow HMRC to calculate on their behalf, then they are the fools and not those astute enough to save unnecessary tax payments to the HMRC.

You are both so predictable and infinitely boring, plus desperately jealous of others, who quite legally take best advantage of the system, as it is. You two ought to get a bedsit together.
You are commies - you've got nowt, and want everyone else to have the same.
Free Speech Nige is so pro free speech that he's forgotten he made a complaint to the police about 'Have I Got News For You', cos he was upset about what they said.

I love these "pro free speech" people.
Free speech is ok as long as they agree with it. Look at Nottingham council.
