Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs are being investigated by HMRC, an Independent investigation has revealed.

The newly-appointed chancellor has an “unresolved” case open with tax investigators, a senior Whitehall source has disclosed after the National Crime Agency (NCA) opened an investigation in 2020.

Officers from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) have also looked into the chancellor’s financial affairs.

The probe was then passed to HMRC, which falls under the control of the Treasury – the department that Mr Zahawi now runs.

It was also revealed that Boris Johnson, home secretary Priti Patel and the Cabinet Office were all informed of the investigations and knew about them when Zahawi was appointed chancellor last week.

Taking to Twitter, James Felton said the revelation caps off a rocky week for the new man in Number 11.

On Thursday, after being appointed chancellor the day before, he called on his new boss Boris Johnson to resign as prime minister.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
