| Subject: Celebrity tax avoiders 'are blocked from getting knighthoods' and David Beckham 'called honours committee a "bunch of c***ts"' Sat Sep 01, 2018 12:08 am | |
| Celebrities who use tax avoidance schemes are being prevented from getting knighthoods and other honours, it was claimed last night.
Nominees have their tax affairs analysed by senior tax officials who assign a rating to each which is then sent to the honours committee and the prime minister, the Times reported.
A document seen by the newspaper details how each nominee is rated using a 'traffic light system,' with green for low risk, amber for medium and red for high.
'Poor tax behaviour is not consistent with the award of an honour,' the memo between HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Cabinet Office notes.
