Does anyone believe Nadhim Zahawi?

If you have experts to do your tax returns- you would meet up with them to discuss any area that might cause possible issues, and you woud be asked if you are prepared to take the risk or not. Anyone in his position would do- if not in person, his appointed senior secretary or manager, etc- who would be expected to report back to his boss.

Sunak said " Integrity, Professionalism and Accountability"

Great Headline.

But it means nothing.

Just a headline for the papers.

NO

Cossy

Very good point germanshepherdsmum !! However surely he would check his own financial affairs given his position ?

Exactly!

The short answer has to be NO

We deserve quality MP's of the highest calibre who are interested in Britain and the people who live here. Instead we are getting politicians who are only interested in themselves. They come on our tv squealing and squirming their innocence their naivety "Oh I didn't realise" "I made a mistake" it's not me guv". What's going on with these offshore accounts! We need and deserve better than this.

I don’t know Cossy. I should think his finances are pretty complicated and he’s a busy person. I use an accountant and trust her to get it right, I sign the forms and send them back to her. And I’m retired with fairly straightforward finances but I’m no tax expert.

Nope, not a word of it.

Nope !! Rather poor show if a chancellor cannot handle his own tax affairs !!!

Nope. Not for one minute...

Bit rude volver, maybe some people are more gullible than others.

As I've said many times before, one of the worst things about this current (run of) government(s) is that they've persuaded so many people that politicians are all as bad as each other.

The subtext is 'OK we're bad but so are the other lot so you might as well vote for us again'

I don't know what all the fuss is about- poor man! I'm sure we've all made mistakes, and accidentally pocketed the odd million or so, which really belonged to the tax man, haven't we?

We're in the endgame now, many in the government are grabbing what they can.

As many other people have said, it's very odd that 'carelessness' never seems to result in overpayment.

I have difficulty believing he does his own tax returns.

Whitwavemark2 With the deadline for paying taxes and getting returns in being 31 January, I suspect the adverts have more to do with that. There is usually a lot of HMRC advertising this time of year.

Bit rude volver, maybe some people are more gullible than others.

Anyone on twitter notice the sudden and amount of HMRC adverts warning about tax avoidance? 😄😄

What is puzzling me is that given Johnson’s known income at the time of the loan which was not inconsiderable, why on earth did he need a further £800k?

Dan Neidle says that he is looking at other MPs tax affairs.

I reckon Mogg is one, and possibly Johnson.

I wonder if he will look at Labour politicians?

He said on twitter that it wasn't a tory MP.

Tory MPs don't have a monopoly on dodgy tax dealing, or dodgy dealing in general. There just seem to be more of them...

(I wonder how Johnson. B's tax returns would stand up to scrutiny... )

No I do not believe him. He should resign and fully investigated.

Yes WWM2, but what have the Romans ever done for us? 🤣

Off the top of my head - there will of course be others

At what point will people realise that suggesting that all politicians are crooks tells us more about them than it does abut politicians?

Blimey the BBC seems to be growing a pair.

Richard Murphy just been wheeled in to comment on the Zahawi tax affairs.
