Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings

Exclusive: Reform leader's use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters.

The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.
