There are 'question marks' around the validity of Sajid Javid’s claim to 'non-dom' status, according to tax experts
Tax experts said that for Mr Javid's claim be valid his father would have had to have been domiciled in Pakistan at the time the health secretary was born.
He said it is hard to know the circumstances without the health secretary sharing the information but there were some areas that are"not free from doubt".Dan Neidle, former head of tax at Clifford Chance, the law firm, also said he found it"surprising" that Mr Javid's father would have had non-dom status when he was born.
Nimesh Shah, chief executive at Blick Rothenberg, an accountancy firm, also questioned whether Mr Javid had sufficient personal links to another country to justify the claim. Mr Shah pointed out that in 2009 the government introduced a fee of £30,000 for those claiming non-dom tax status, which had previously been free.
