American sweet shops in London are the subject of a council investigation into financial issues, it's been reported. Westminster Council is said to be looking into 30 such retail outlets on Oxford Street alone.
The council has launched its probe after they were found to be allegedly failing to pay full business rates, reports state. There could be as much as £7.9 million in business rates unaccounted for, MailOnline has reported.
A TikToker has been credited with bringing issues to light. CazzaTime recently shared a clip where he suggested that an investigation should be launched into money-laundering allegations.
According to the TikToker, there is allegedly a trend of companies winding up before business rates are due. MailOnline claims companies which share directors with Kingdom of Sweets - they name as Croftray Limited and Old Green Limited - have already been wound up owing £2million in rates.
