Sunak wrote to Zahawi, “It is clear there has been a serious breach of the ministerial code,” after it was found Zahawi had not declared an investigation into his tax affairs.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sacked Nadhim Zahawi, chairman of the Tory Party, over a “serious breach of the ministerial code” relating to how Zahawi failed to be honest about his tax affairs. An investigation carried out by independent ethics adviser Sir Laurie Magnus outlined seven breaches of the ministerial code by Zahawi.
Zahawi failed to disclose an HM Revenue and Customs investigation into his tax affairs, including how he had reached a reported £4.8 million settlement with HMRC, which included a reported £1.1 million penalty for tax avoidance. Zahawi did not reveal the investigation when he was promoted to be Chancellor under then-PM Boris Johnson. Sunak is reportedly “livid” at the controversy, and the negative headlines about ministerial dishonesty it has generated.
