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!

Before anyone can reasonably comment you need more than a Facebook entry to verify it. Anything in the press?

I am asking AB people if they know if there is any truth in it, I am not saying it is true!

always one to see to see the bright side of life
now tell me
Your dear children - s you pay all their bills and taxes for them or do you say
they arent me, chase them?

the latter, you pay stuff on your own account and not your wife, your father in law or the dog

'How much truth is in the story??'

If it's on FB, probably very little.

Companies House does not have his wife as a director of Lava Mayfair Club Ltd, nor does Mrs Wordsmith.

'I am not saying it is true!'

Then why end with:
'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!

Most of that is old news. I heard read it before in Private Eye and Independent. No one has had to withdraw their accusations, so I assume it is all true.

Thank you for the link Gromit - at least I know that the basis of the post I received was true.

Someone will be along shortly to haughtily dismiss any mention of Private Eye, possibly ending with a 'Ha!'

[Peter Pedant]

// if they know if there is any truth in it, I am not saying it is true!//

o mi god I have spotted an AB special - true one day and then clarified as untrue the next!

Just because you have shares in a company does not mean you are responsible for the companies debts if its goes belly up.

[Gromit]

The fact that her non dom status meant she avoided £20 million is also common knowledge.

[gulliver1]

If it's in "Private Eye" and it's anti Tory ,
then it's got to be true.

[Redhelen72]

Mrs 'Sunak' has not broken any laws as far as I can tell - if she had then HMRC would be on her quicker than a dog on steak

[douglas9401]

Yes, they're known for their instant response.

[Redhelen72]

Do you not think that on the day the news broke - someone in HMRC was straight onto their guidance and accounts to see if any wrong doing had been done.

[youngmafbog]

They are when you owe them money, not so if its the other way round.
//yet the woman he's sleeping with//

And by using terms like that you immediately throw doubt on your cause.

Its his wife, dont be so ruddy rude.

And look up Ltd Company liability and responsibilities.

[Zacs-Master]

She may have been one of thousands of other shareholders. It doesn't mean she, alone, owns the company and as she wasn't a director, she had no controlling influence. She may have lost £thousands or even £millions.

It's just another part-truth load of rubbish made to make the ignorant and easily led think she is some sort of fraud.

YMB 13.16, quite right.

[youngmafbog]

Plenty of them on FB and Twitter ZM.
