British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired the Conservative Party chair Nadhim Zahawi from the government on Sunday (January 29) after an investigation into his tax affairs found a serious breach of the ministerial code.
Sunak had ordered an independent adviser to investigate questions over the tax affairs of Zahawi, who was briefly finance minister during a period of political turmoil in Britain last year.
Zahawi has said Britain’s tax authorities ruled he had been “careless” with his declarations but hadn’t deliberately made an error to pay less tax.
