    Don't forget Gary Barlow. But so many chose to forgive him for some reason.

    He looked more like a slob 10 years ago. He may not have a regular gig, but far from a slob!

    He has issued an apology on twitter. It was a very silly mistake.

    Keira Knightley is also a tax dodger. DM did a big story on it once, but have kept mum and continued to praise every single thing she does ever since.

    I'd bet my life savings on the majority of celebrities finding loopholes to avoid tax.

    And I agree with Ollie; Chris Moyles is not a slob these days.

    Keira Knightley is also a tax dodger. DM did a big story on it once, but have kept mum and continued to praise every single thing she does ever since.

    The two articles the DM did were one on how she would have to pay tax on a freebie she was given and she did not know , as did many other Brits in the USA as they brought in a law which says celebs have to pay tax on goodie bags etc .

    The second was that she paid not much tax one year as she only paid herself $ 46,000.00 The thing is she paid herself that and she paid tax on it the rest of her earnings stayed in the company if and when she takes more she will pay more tax so she is hardy a tax dodger , just being sensible .

    That's true, I didn't recognize him the last time he popped up on tv. He looks far better for it.

    I have never known a slob to be able to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with no problems at all.

    I think Mr Moyles is brilliant.

    This is how he looked last week while running with Davina. Not a slob anymore as you can see

    :o those little legs, I'm sure he's about a third of the size he used to be back in the Radio 1 days.

    His response to these claims was pathetic and lame-but then how could it have been anything else?

    Very true but this scheme wouldn't have been his own idea- it will be advice given to him some Shylock style sinister advisors who have an arms length list of mega earning celebs to sort their tax out. It won't be just BBC employees although papers like the DM will try and highlight them first. The only thing I agree with what the Mail do. There will be plenty that need to be exposed and perhaps HMRC should have more power and resources to investigate these shadowy suited "accountants".

    People like him are the reason why us mere hardworking mortals get hammered, I have no time for tax avoiding scum, considering he lied to gain a tax break is fraud in my book, if that had been any of us hardworking tax payers we would be inside.

    As far as I'm concerned all scumlebrities can do one. He is a grubby disgusting ****

    I hope HMRC names everyone of those sleazy 450 other scumbags.

    Wow! :o

    I had to look carefully.
    He's almost unrecognizable. :o

    That does not excuse tax avoidance though.>:(

    Let's hope this is just the beginning in exposing these hypocrites ....this could be as big as the MPs expense scandal .;-)

    I know, this Tory brown noser seems to have curried enough favour to slip under the radar with his tax avoidance scam, funny that.

    I'm guessing this was because he's been exposed. I bet he'd have carried on dodging it if he hadn't have been exposed.

    Headline this morning "I was naive". Should read "I am as thick as Sxxt."

    Why is it always BBC employees?

    As if the £145 a year tax wasn't enough, their employees love rubbing the tax payers nose in it.

    It's not relevant. I bet he's given more to the taxman than you, so who are you to judge?

    HM Revenue and Customs is writing to 450 other celebrities and wealthy individuals who took part in the same tax avoidance scheme to demand they pay the tax they owe
    He filed a self-assessment tax return that claimed he had “engaged in self-employment as a used car trader” during the year to April 2008.


    Could it be the reason he quit radio, to lower his profile?

    How about a Judge who specializes in Tax? Who's ruling was the result of an appeal by Moyles.
    The 'Working wheels' tax avoidance scheme, popular with Britain's high earners who want to avoid paying their full tax, involves posing as a used car salesman on you tax return form.

    In Moyles' case, he claimed he had totaled £1m of losses during the course of selling £3,731 worth of used cars.
