Former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has told the BBC he paid nearly £5m to authorities to settle his tax affairs.
Mr Zahawi was sacked last year as Tory Party chairman after an ethics inquiry found he had failed to disclose that HMRC was investigating his taxes.
He was sorry for not being “more explicit” in his ministerial declaration on the settlement, he told the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show.

Mr Zahawi was sacked in January last year after an inquiry by the prime minister’s ethics adviser found he had failed to disclose that his tax affairs were being probed by HMRC.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said at the time that the inquiry made clear there had been a “serious breach of the ministerial code”.
The controversy over Mr Zahawi’s taxes began when it emerged that he had reached a multi-million pound tax settlement with HMRC while he was chancellor in 2022.
It related to the allocation of shares in YouGov, the polling company he set up before he became an MP.
