Well I certainly believe him, a politician wouldn’t lie would they…
Oopsie! Well what’s a few mill here or there anyway eh? Cunt
Lol. Tax return due in 10 days, I’ll remember to just be really careless with it rather than actively fraudulent…
He’s not wrong. Who hasn’t accidentally transferred control of their company to an offshore trust?
Can anyone use this argument in court? “I may have run over the small child, but I did it carelessly, not deliberately.”
I guess he will be sacking the team of highly paid accountants he hired to hide all that money from HMRC. Very careless a better accounting firm next time
Of course it was Nadhim. We all make mistakes to the benefit of £millions🤣
Thank god he wasn’t in charge of anything important last year
You can’t do you own taxes but you were the chancellor of the exchequer. Right.
>not deliberate
How can you ‘accidentally’ buy your family home via a company in Gibraltar or have money owed to you from the company you founded ‘accidently’ paid into a trust in the Caribbean?
i wish my careless mistakes were worth millions of pounds
‘Careless??’ Like that would cut much ice if HMRC caught your average member of the oi polloi doing the same thing…
Just an unbelievable clown show of corrupt arseholes, isn’t it.
put him in jail, and take all his estate as compensation for his carelessness.
And certainly accidentally instructed his lawyers to threaten an assortment of journalists over a number of years who have been looking into his accidental tax error. And then accidentally chose not to correct his error during all this time, until finally it came into the public eye.
Funny how all these tory politicians keep making “careless” errors.
You might almost think they didn’t think the laws they made for other “little” people applied to the likes of them.
The guy who was posting about his rule breaking got multiple ‘strongly worded letter’ warnings from Zahawi’s lawyers telling him to stop posting or be sued. Doesn’t exactly seem ‘careless’ to me
And was it also careless of Zahawi to deny, threaten and continually change his explanation to cover this up since it was raised last year?
So if it was just a “careless” mistake, why did he have to come to an “arrangement” with the HMRC over how much he would pay, rather than just paying what was owed, as someone who had made an honest mistake would?
Someone on Reddit recently summed up the Government perfectly on here;
*”They are a zombie majority.”*
Nothing about them ressembles what they stood for in 2019. Brexit wasn’t completed. Still, there are problems with migrants drowning at Sea. The Red Wall voters have been totally taken for mugs. No reform on de-criminalizing non-subscription of the television licence. What a dinosaur law in 2023.
At 29 years of existing in this world, I hope (wishful thinking) that we will never in my lifetime see the amount of lies, deception, and suffering inflicted on the lives of normal British human beings by British Politicians ever again.
Ride the rough out, one more Year. The more scandal, the more sleaze that comes in within this current Year to next, will be further and further self destruction of the Conservative Party. It’s long gone from salvageable now, and I would argue that The Labour Party would be better off splitting in half, given Sir Kier and his rich chums can’t be fucking bothered to join Mick Lynch and the working class.
The utter hilarity that the government is claiming that he is transparent. He got the maximum penalty if it was actually careless so he got no reductions for telling HMRC, no reductions for helping HMRC and no reductions for giving HMRC any information whatsoever. The fact the maximum penalty was given demonstrates anything but transparency.
In addition, the giving of a careless penalty only means that HMRC had no proof that he didn’t knowingly do it. The tribunals hold a deliberate penalty to a very high bar of proof which means frequently they aren’t given out when they really should.
Fair enough. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve forgotten to pay £3.7m of taxes.
You would have thought that a former “Chancellor of the Exchequer” would have a better handle on the tax system.
Another one of Boris’s failed and corrupt goverment
Chairman of the party in power, as bent as the rest of them.
Woooops silly me, would you look at that? I accidentally moved 3.7 million pounds into an offshore account. I’ll definitely make sure I look into that BEFORE I get caught…
That’s ok then. Hopefully he’s not in charge of anything financially important…oh wait
rich people careless with their money? never.
funny how it never works the opposite way
Funny how these careless errors never result in the ultra wealthy paying significantly MORE tax.
This government is the most corrupt in modern British history.
What’s a few million? Cunts.
You believe that, you deserve what his government will do to you.
Gone from ‘there was no issue’ to ‘okay there was an issue but it was an honest mistake’. What’s next, ‘fine I got caught out but it’s not that big a deal’? Straight outta BJ’s playbook
It’s funny how a lot of the top 1% of rich people are incredibly greedy assholes who refuse to spend a penny on anything that benefits the common person but when it comes to making sure that they avoided paying taxes, they always claim it’s a “mistake”.
It’s funny how they never “accidentally” lose money. They always “accidentally” gain or keep it. The sooner the average person in this country realizes they’re actually hated by the rich, the better.
Careless that he didn’t do more to avoid being caught
I’d like to see how much trouble I’d be in if I was careless about my taxes but I’m not willing to try it out because I guarantee I’d be bent over fairly quickly.
Careless? What a load of balderdash?
Do you think he actually manages his own tax affairs He would have signed off on this.
Imagine normal criminals being able to just hand wave away criminal wrongdoing like this.
Eh, all these offshore buddies in the cabinet…. How coincidental!
Someone that slapdash shouldn’t be in government or Parliament.
If you’ve ever been Chancellor of the Exchequer, I don’t think you should be able to get away with claiming a “careless mistake” on your taxes.
If it were a Labour politician caught up in such a scandal, he would call for their head. Why is it OK for him to plead ignorance and carelessness then? It was deliberate and he is just sticking to the usual politician line of only apologising for being caught out. I only hope the public are not stupid enough to fall for it again.
These cunts are never careless the other way around and end up paying more tax than they should.
That’s what I told my mum after drawing on the walls when I was six
He paid himself in a loan with no repayment plan instead of giving himself a salary or dividends, no fucking way anyone could possibly do that by accident
Honestly… my hand just got accidentally stuck in the till whilst I was distracted by my face in the pig trough…. do these crooks really think we’re THAT stupid !!!!

Everyone should read this https://www.taxpolicy.org.uk/2023/01/19/zahawi_story/ Zahawi should be in jail.
