Rushi Sunak And Wife Taxes

[evadora]

The following has just appeared on my Facebook page - (tried to get it to show a link but not been possible). How much truth is in the story??
So... it now comes to light that Rishi Sunak's wife was part owner of Lava Mayfair Club Ltd (a private membership gym), which collapsed last year owing almost £44million to creditors, including £374,000 to HMRC!
Another of Mrs Sunak's ventures... Mrs Wordsmith (an education business) went into administration last year owing £16.3million – after receiving a £1.3million loan from the Government's "Future Fund"!
OH IT GETS WORSE... Digme Fitness (which she owns 100% of) received up to £635,000 of furlough money... before it then closed its eight studios in London and Oxford... still owing HMRC £415,000!
So .... Mr Sunak introduces the furlough scheme ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by up to £635,000!
Mr Sunak oversees the rules regarding Non-Dom status ... and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by over £20 million!
Mr Sunak is in charge of ensuring that the UK maximises its tax revenue... yet the woman he's sleeping with has been active in, or has owned, companies going bust owing a staggering £789,000 to HMRC!
Mr Sunak says his wife's tax affairs are none of OUR business... he can *** RIGHT off!!
Arrogance in almost immeasurable amounts!

Regardless of our political views, to describe his wife as ' the women he's sleeping with' is beyond reasonable political discourse and, perhaps, racist and religiously discriminatory. You should be ashamed of yourself.

"Can you not differentiate what is true, what may be true, what is alleged, what may be political posturing, what may be partially true, what may be inadvertently reported, what may be a deliberate lie, what, perhaps, may be a lie for the right reasons"
can anyone?

It’s the plain old lying that’s the problem. Ms Murty said she was non-dom for tax purposes, but we all know she was very much domiciled in Downing Street.

Lol, take a look at Johnson’s track record with females, then try and get over yourself as you climb off your high horse! PMSL

Paigntonian,

How is it racist?

[Deskdiary]

Fatticusinch - it was very clearly implicit that my mention of morals is because for some bizarre reason some people think only paying the amount you’re legally obliged to pay (when you’re rich) is somehow considered immoral.

I can’t understand it for you I’m afraid.

[Paigntonian]

JD: I said perhaps, and you should be grown-up enough to know exactly where I'm coming from.

Like some others on AB, you're attempting to belittle another poster rather than answering the question. Can't see what difference 'perhaps' makes.

You’re struggling in being unable to make a case for it either.
As I’ve asked, I wonder where she got such ideas and a lack of morals from? Wouldn’t be the husband who looks down on the working class, would it?

fattipoltroon: "As I’ve asked, I wonder where she got such ideas and a lack of morals from? " - what "lack of morals"? do you pay any taxes you don't have to? More standard lefty hypocritical BS.

[Deskdiary]

As I said earlier TTT, it's only ever other people who don't pay enough tax.

Especially if the person only paying what they're legally obliged to pay, is rich.

Funny that.

Hmm, you lost me at "Facebook" and the fact you can't link to it is also very troubling.

It take it you are aware of the use of personalised Facebook ads and content in all sorts of political dirty tricks campaigns.

If I'd seen this content, I'd be more concerned about who posted it than who it was talking about ...

weird that though everyone here seems to hate Sunak, nobody can see anything untoward in a would-be British prime minister being married to a non-dom.

[ladybirder]

I cba to read all of this again but has anyone mentioned that she immediately agreed to pay tax on all her earnings from other countries when questioned even though she was doing nothing wrong?

I apologise for repeating if it has.

TORATORATORA, it seems you're needing a gentle reminder of the following,

"Any instances of members referring to other members as anything but their preferred names, preferred prefixes, or preferred pronouns will be removed. Repeated offences will result in suspensions."

[ToraToraTora]

what is untoward jno? They are doing nothing illegal.

'Everyone has a moral responsibility to avoid as much tax as possible'.
So Amazon, for example, who in 2020 paid an estimated 0.37% as an tax-to-turnover ratio, would have been acting immorally had they not set up elaborate tax-avoidance schemes.

[Boto]

Who in their right mind would pay more tax than they had to?

Well not folk in the entertainment industry who rely on their image to make money.

Politicians and billionaires? Nobody cares if they live or die.
