TORY chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s position is “untenable” after reports that he paid a penalty as part of a multimillion-pound tax settlement, Labour have said.
The former chancellor, who attends Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet, has been under pressure since it was reported that he paid HM Revenue & Customs a seven-figure sum to end a dispute.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab defended his colleague on Saturday, saying Zahawi “has been very clear that he’s paid all the tax that he’s owed” and “if there’s further questions … I’m sure there’ll be the proper transparency”.
