Chris Moyles has been a naughty boy and allegedly avoided paying over £1 million in tax.
The former BBC Radio 1 morning presenter is alleged to have been embroiled in an aggressive tax avoidannce scheme. He pretended, with two other men, to be a used car salesman, between 2006 and 2008.
How did they do it? Well... He took tips from comedian Jimmy Carr. Because what he did was not technically illegal, just morally questionable.
The scheme included 450 fund managers, celebrities and high profile earners, and was called "working wheels". It allowed its members to claim that they had incurred large fees while working in the second hand car trade, which they then claimed back from their taxes.
However, as this scheme relied on Moyles claiming to be self employed, rather than investing in or working for a fake or off shore company, what he did was not technically breaking the law.
Considering the crime allegedly happened so long ago, it is curious as to why this is only now coming to light. It is because the DJ is only just reaching the tribunal to account for his crimes.
He has may well face some backlash online, considering the ripping he gave Jimmy Carr after it transpired he had avoided paying taxes as well, in 2012. Moyles memorably launched a verbal assault on the comedian, before backtracking after Carr apologised for involving himself in tax evasion.
Both schemes involved money being invested legally, which they could claim back, resulting in them paying only 1% in tax.
Judge Colin Bishopp said that Moyles "clearly had no interest in the trade," and was only involved in the used car industry to avoid paying his share in tax.
The former breakfast show host, who was replaced by Nick Grimshaw a little over a year ago, took to twitter, posting a series of messages to defend himself. "I want to comment about a recent tribunal tax ruling."
"Upon advice, I signed up to a scheme which I was assured was legal. Despite this, my knowledge of the dealings of the scheme were naive."
"I'm not a tax expert and acted on advice I was given. This was a mistake and I accept the ruling without reservation."
"I take full responsibility and have learnt a valuable lesson."
It seems his day of avoiding the tax man are as over as his run on BBC R1. Used cars aren't the only things that have been replaced with a newer, younger model.
