The questions Richard Tice isn’t answering

Richard Tice isn’t denying that Quidnet REIT, his property company, failed to pay around £120,000 of tax when it paid dividends to Mr Tice and his offshore trust. He says it doesn’t matter, because he paid tax in full. That’s wrong: Quidnet’s failure to withhold REIT tax was unlawful, and the £120,000 remains due. But […]

Richard Tice’s property company failed to pay £120,000 in tax

Inside a fake tax refund factory

Updated 3.45pm on 7 April 2026 with Welcome Accountancy’s legal threat. The internet is full of people promising effortless tax refunds. For many, the business model is simple: invent expenses, file claims at volume, and take a cut. These “refund factories” exploit HMRC’s “process now, check later” systems, operating largely out of sight – but […]

Companies House flaw exposed five million directors and enabled company hijacking

A major vulnerability in the Companies House website gave unauthorised access to the private dashboard of any of the five million registered companies for five months.

MP Estate Planning: the unregulated firm selling defective trusts to the elderly

MP Estate Planning is an unregulated advisory firm using an extensive social media campaign to sell expensive “asset protection trusts” to elderly homeowners, often of relatively modest means. The pitch is simple: put your home into a trust and you can avoid inheritance tax, care home fees, divorce claims and creditors. Our investigation, drawing on […]

THE HON. MRS JUSTICE COLLINS RICE DBE CB
Approved Judgment

Kamal v Tax Policy Associates

31. In the circumstances, the pleading that it was ‘false and misleading’ to suggest that a
judicial finding of breach of duty had been made against him is incapable of forming a
part of the just disposal of Mr Kamal’s libel claim. The attempt to do so is an abuse of

the court’s processes. I grant the Defendant’s application to strike out [5(b)] of Mr
Kamal’s particulars of claim.

The Court held that key parts of the claim were legally hopeless, gave summary judgment on the rest, and ruled that the case was a SLAPP: litigation brought to silence criticism in the public interest.
