Ah, the best bit - Rishi demands that investigation is started into who leaked his wife's status - why is he not going through "proper channels" (call HMRC on their public helpline) as every private citizen would have to?

He still doesn't get it....

Also the best way to bury the story is for him to STFU not trying to find the mole.

So, a Tory Scum safe seat somehow got a very rich, very young person with a US green card to be elected as MP in the first place, then somehow becomes Chancellor and only upon visit to US decides to give up his US permanent residency?

Who and how much was paid (either by money or favarous) to get him selected in the frist place?

Would Rishi or Boris for that matter would have EVER gained lawfully top clearance that their job surely requires?

A lot of the commenters seem preoccupied with "draining the swamp", i.e. (in part) sacking a load of obstructive passive-aggressive civil servants.

There's a great opportunity for that coming up before too long. All Boris & co need do is repeal the Demise of the Crown Act (1901). Then when HMQ pops orf, all senior civil servants will be immediately sacked by default, after which the cabinet can decide who to let back!

The snag is, I wonder if the Government itself would also be dissolved in that event, so in repealing the act they would be sawing the branch off on the wrong side!

And much "English" sentiment. I would say that the conservative members think the UK is over.

Rishi versus Matt the adulterer - I'm not a woman or gay and I would still prefer to marry Rishi.

So we have your marry - Rishi - and your avoid - Matt - but which cabinet member would you snog?

Matt Handjob seduced the wrong woman....

"The taxman has been urged to investigate whether the Chancellor's wife broke the terms of her non-dom status by giving her UK company £4.3 million in interest-free loans.

Tax experts said the personal loans to Akshata Murty's venture capital firm, Catamaran Ventures UK, fall into a 'grey area' of the rules and last night called for HM Revenue & Customs to investigate.

The loans could 'circumvent' the basis of her non-dom status if they were found to give her 'monetary or non-monetary returns' – whether through profits or by exerting influence – it was claimed."

Great tax system innit

[Fraidycat]

How is it even possible to retain non-dom status and thus not having to pay UK taxes, yet somehow pay them as if they were due? That's not possible surely, it will be just payment on account FFS

Claiming remittance basis is optional. She can untick the box on her self assessment form for prior years.

Alternatively she could just 'remit' the offshore money for prior years to the UK this year, then the tax will be due this year.

It gets better...

"Although Murty has committed herself to paying UK tax on her foreign earnings, she is not promising to pay back tax she saved from the arrangement over the past decade.

...

However, Murty will retain her non-domiciled status and will continue to benefit from India’s policy of not taxing inheritance."

Ah, so now that they got caught she'll pay taxes ... for the current tax year - what about previous years plus interest plus penalties?
