Don’t Follow Mel B’s Bad Example Urges Leading UK Tax Expert

Leading UK tax specialist David Redfern today urged the public not to follow the bad example set by former Spice Girl Mel B, real name Melanie Brown, after worrying news reports about her fall in financial fortunes and alleged tax troubles.

Speaking about recent news reports focusing on the financial impact of Melanie’s forthcoming divorce from Stephen Belafonte, he stated that it was imperative that all small businesses and self-employed contractors face up to the importance of filing timely and accurate accounts to prevent them suffering the same fate as appears to be befalling the former Spice Girl.

Commenting on Judge Lawrence Riff’s statement that Mel B and her estranged husband had an “habitual inability” to pay their taxes on time, founder of tax specialist firm DSR Tax Claims David Redfern stated that “it’s common for many people to put off filing their accounts on time but as we have seen with the recent case of Mel B, it really is a false economy”.

Speaking about her alleged fall in fortunes, which were once believed to be between £25 million and £40 million, he added that it made bad business sense to neglect taxation affairs and was the cause of many bankruptcies and business failings.

Redfern stated that he appreciated that, despite his own expertise in taxation issues, for many people accounting matters were difficult and complex but he added that not only could expert help prevent many businesses and self-employed contractors from falling foul of the UK’s own taxation legislation, but could also help them to claim the maximum tax refund that they were entitled to.

He added that DSR Tax Claims had 100% client satisfaction in this area and were so confident in their abilities, that they offered a no-refund, no-fee service.
