Dear The Independent RespectIsVital first reported this story. 😳

One rule for them...

so what about retrospective planning permission, should anyone have to pay for that? Let's all cite Cummings and do what we like!!!

This story was originally investigated & broken by RespectIsVital, & has been plagiarised by GavinHaveryEcho & TheNorthernEcho. You may wish to correct your article.

How was it left to build up to such an amount since 2002, if ordinary people miss one payment they are jumped all over, it’s a disgrace!!

Cannydoode Why?

If I had built two houses without planning permission and visited them whilst showing covid symptoms, I would be fined 10k, 50k in back Council Tax and asked to take the houses down.

We need to get Boris Johnson in front of a judge as soon as possible, otherwise violent civil unrest is inevitable! The time to act is short!

ScarboroCouncil any chance me and you can open discussions on my council tax rates?

Pure Filth him and his extended family

Meanwhile the rest of the country is being squeezed. What a slippery c***.

helenmitfordb Was it avoidance of evasion?

Today’s piece of Tory corruption. Do we get an advent calendar for this when Dec comes - as it is literally on a daily basis.

What Tory adviser not paying his taxes 🤔what’s new there

I missed your hounding of Margaret Ferrier. When can we expect that?

Of course they do

This bloke should have been sacked months ago. This govt is just corrupt to the core.

And yet a woman who owed nearly £5,000 gets a jail sentence.

It’s not what you know or even what you do in the UK in 2020. We are back to Victorian levels of class divide.

It's spelled 'evade'.

The Demonic Cummings who after selling his soul, was forced to give the Devil a refund... in roubles.

Not so much a bunch of concrete blocks then?

The poor of Durham will be delighted to loose that money, I mean if they had libraries it would just spoil them.

This man is steering the Conservative party nothing else needs saying

What a joke this country has become because of this idiot. Every project he has been involved in has been a failure. Brexit going well i see as the country spirals downward into decline at the hands of the clown master. 10DowningStreet Conservatives CCHQLondon

How very swampy

Thanks BorisJohnson. Nice to know your boss gets a separate set of laws than the rest of us. Any idea when hard working tax paying Joe public can get the same treatment ?

thereselite Dominic Cummings' council £30,000 'write-off' was signed off by HMRCgovUK, not DurhamCouncil. HMRCgovuk: Do you think you might make some sort of comment? Thanks. Maybe look into this , if true it's corruption by a government department surely .?

Tory corruption shock BorisJohnson

All in this together ...

Backdate it and if he refuses to pay, lock him up with rest of the corrupt cronies.

piersmorgan

Ill-conceived decision.

WHY aren't we all uprising against the government and the corrupt politicians we elect? Getting beyond a joke

Surely this sets a new legal precedent? People of Durham, get building those unapproved extensions and properties There will be zero comeuppance

Absolutely unbelievable and disgraceful !!!

Teflon prick

LABOUR has been accused of “barefaced hypocrisy” after funnelling in an array of heavy tax policies despite not paying tax on the Party’s coveted £20million property business for a staggering 15 years.

Is what has happened illegal,also how many other cases are there also who gives a dam we all know the real reason this man is hounded is due to brexitb which this media stream hates. Bias bias bias

Why are we no longer surprised by the deceit and fraud committed by those in and close to this government?! Anyone else would be either have charges backdated to when the homes could be occupied or receive instruction the tear them down. Can anyone have negative respect?

Perhaps he avoids the tax because he doesn't live there.

This Man is unbelievable! You obviously have ZERO shame employing him BorisJohnson aka BorisTheButcher 🤬

whilst my council sent me court summons with added charges of £130 for 31p I hadn't realised I owed. Found out a few months later I'd overplayed by £350 due to their error. Thankfully my MP got the court summons & charges removed.

It’s all about who you know

Why don't you leave this man alone. You make me sick to my stomach.

Someone wealthy enough to start judicial review, please challenge this decision.

The rest of us would get punished. One rule for one and all that.

When this govt are forced into another election next year because of their incompetent handling of covid, and the failure of brexit is revealed to the nation, the tory criminals running this govt will be sitting in jail after their humiliating defeat by StarmerOutstanding

Most of my relatives don't pay taxes as they just kinda travel. Only thing, they don't have any influence in Brexit..

Avoidance is fine; Next?

DurhamCouncil pathetic, cowardly and inept

Why?

One rule for you. No rules for them. That's 'levelling up' in Demonic Comings' book.

If it annoys lefties then long may it continue.

The bloke definitely has a list of dirt on members of government

ukbygaslight Elite leavers

He got away with 60 mile trip to glass shop.But already driven there from London. It's weird isn't it.its all in the explanation but we cant see it. Jolly decent chap well done. 🐙

avoids by not owing it

No council tax, no planning permission, it's only the fools that obey the rules. ToryLawBreakers

That’s not fair. Us peasants get demands to demolish said buildings when caught... and he got to keep them without being fined. Joke

Of course Valuation Office Agency VOAgovuk refused to comment. There is no explanation for this other than Dominic Cummings getting a special favour. The rest of us would have to pay, and those couldn't afford would be taken to court and harassed by bailiffs.

Oops, there’s something afoot, The Independent is blathering on about Dominic Cummings again diversion

oneruleforthem BorisJohnson your all just murders and criminals

How much was Dawn Butlers Jacuzzi?

Are any of us really surprised ? It’s day after day now and openly brazen. Cummings calculated that people wouldn’t be arsed about stuff like this and, depressingly, he was right. Folk need to start being arsed about stuff like this.

Durham council ..... A red wall Council helping their corrupt bosses ..... I wonder what the voters there think ... Actually they probably support cummins .... He has let them take back control ....

HackettTom Avoid? sackcummings

counciltaxisoptional

Disgraceful

All tax is theft

And they have the family farming business registered at one of the addresses, have they paid business rates?

Shameless

Cummings ur father should of cummed outside...

Really?

The fucking nerve. Utter corruption. ToryBritain

Well who would have anticipated some weaselly double-dealing in something involving Cummings? I am getting utterly sick of this charade. What is point?

In the spirit of the financial hardship we are all headed for, he ought to lead from the front and stump up but somehow I cannot see that happening.

But my arrears are deducted from my pittance of a wage.. Tory Britain at its finest

This guy can do one. If 2020 were a politician ☝️

😡

Slap on a massive eye test levy!

stinks of the right type of handshake DurhamPolice ..

It’s about time someone ripped those illegal buildings down!

parkcommunicate Cummings is the virus 🦠

in the public interest .. can the independant please supply details of relevant department and the procedure we need to go through to do the same .. surely it can't be one rule for ONE .. and one for everyone else .. AGAIN

That’s excellent.

Disgraceful

He still haunts the left. I love it.

Council Tax is a corrupted tax that robs honest people of their hard earned money & only a small percentage goes back into society. The rest is used for unknown purposes.

Good . The MSM have unforgiveably and vindictively hounded this British National without factual rhymes nor reason. The Police interviewed Mr Cummings and pressed no charges .

So let me get this straight, the cottages were built without planning permission and has now got council tax written off? One rule for all my 🤬

I've been made unemployed due to covid and I still. Have to pay mine. What the actual fuck?

mrdanwalker louiseminchin TVNaga01 BBCBreakfast Fancy chatting to one of the pointless tory mp's about this tomorrow morning when you do your 20 minutes of morning propoganda

This is the most vile and corrupt government we’ve ever had, disgusted 😡🤬

I like to think that people like Dominic Cummings get what's coming to them in the end, but then I remember Henry Kissinger enjoying a long and comfortable retirement.

WTF HAVE YOU GOT ON BORIS YOU HORRID MAN 🤔🤔🤔

Threatening us with having to pay higher taxes and they can even pay what they are supposed to at the moment.

Everyone in Durham needs to cancel their council tax payments. See if they change their mind when the money stops coming in.

If it was me I’d have bailiffs around my house and a massive retrospective bill. This Cummings again gets away with it.

Yep

helkala Tory council is it? 🙄

Anyone else would have been forced to demolish them.

GuildfordBC AJRichardsonMP any comment on Mr Cummings and why the rest of us should continue to pay our council tax?

What’s the justification for letting them off?

Of course he does

Bet he gets travel expenses as well

So much for a fair and equitable society where everyone is treated the same. There will be no justice until people Cummings are treated like the rest of us.

DomCum is cheering himself - no one in UK can get him becos he is lying Johnson's master.

This is absolutely shameful, this horrible little man thinks he’s above the law. I can’t wait till this awful government is voted out and he has to pay his fucking bills.

How did he avoid it? Why was he able to avoid it?

Disgraceful. They should pay it voluntarily now that local officials have spinelessly written it off!

All in this together eh?

He avoids everything. Imagine stockpiling & avoiding major bills. Least mines is paid

Leave him alone, sickos!!!

TFAYCD

I suspect a lot of planning applications in Durham will now contain Dominic Related Exclusions.

Well, I suppose did his bit for tourism in the area - he put Durham and Barnard Castle on the map this year

The prosecution of Boris Johnson must commence as soon as possible, otherwise civil unrest is inevitable

Not even a surprise anymore. Tossers.

My council tax bill was £15 for the whole year so I dont see this being a problem
