Reform Hypocrisy

[warey4life]

Remember when everyone went after Angela Raynor and she was forced to resign because she accidentally on purpose underpaid stamp duty by £40,000?
Well the Deputy Leader of Reform UK Richard Tice has avoided nearly £600,000 in corporation tax after obtaining a rare legal status for his company. So surely he must resign?

Richard Tice’s tax trickery shows he is a true patriot

The Sunday Times has run what I fear is intended as a hit-piece on Reform’s Richard Tice. But does it stack up?

Where's the proof that it wasn't just a genuine mistake?

It might have been. MP’s need to be above reproach though.

There's all sorts of ways to avoid tax legally, but MPs paid by the tax payer should not be finding ways to avoid tax.

If it's legal it's legal. If not pinch him. Just cos you don't like him is no reason for him to overpay tax.

Has he suddenly become the minister in charge of corporation tax and has done something illegal?

Paying your fair share of tax is not overpaying.

A decent AI will give you tax avoidance advice. It wont tell you to underpay stamp duty or capital gains and hope they wont notice.

and on the subject of Angela Rayner, seems she also expects others to pick up her legal bills

Labour paid for lawyer to advise on Angela Rayner’s tax affairs

Hiring the specialist barrister could have cost tens of thousands of pounds and has been described as a ‘shameful use of party resources’

The whole thing was work-related.

The Labour Party could easily have said "Nope".

If you're implying that that's what she did shall I remind you of how insistent you are in other contexts that people have evidence to underpin their claims and allegations?
