Following reports in the media about his tax affairs, UKIP Leader - TopicsExpress

Following reports in the media about his tax affairs, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage issued the following statement: "In 2003 a new financial advisor looked at my pension, mortgage and investments and recommended that I set up a Family Trust for my children. "The reason for setting up such trusts is to avoid the complications of inheritance tax that often prove to be a burden on grieving families. "At the time this was common practice, indeed several cabinet ministers and leading opposition figures have family trusts. All of this was, and still remains 100% legal.
