Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK (the British right-wing populist party led by Nigel Farage), allegedly failed to pay nearly £100,000 in corporation tax through four shell companies that reported no taxable profits between 2020 and 2022, according to the Sunday Times. The companies were reportedly used to channel dividends from his property investment firm, with over £1.1 million subsequently donated to Reform UK during that period. Tice acknowledged that errors may have occurred across his long business career and said he would pay any amount found to be owed, while accusing the newspaper of running a smear campaign in collaboration with the Labour party.
