EU offers lucrative tax breaks to firm of billionaire Brexiter

The company controlled by the prominent Brexit backer Jim Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man, has received pledges of tax breaks from EU governments potentially worth hundreds of millions of euros since the UK voted to leave the union.

The chemicals and plastics company Ineos’s subsidiaries and joint ventures have been granted support from Germany, the UK, Belgium and France of at least €178m (£155m), according to a Guardian analysis of the European commission’s state aid data since July 2016.
