Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been ordered to forfeit over £2 million by a judge who ruled they evaded taxes on £21 million in revenue from online businesses.
Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan must forfeit more than £2m after a judge ruled they failed to pay any tax on £21m in revenue from online businesses including OnlyFans. Devon and Cornwall Police brought the civil case to seize £2.8m held in seven frozen bank accounts from the Tate brothers and a woman who can only be referred to as 'J' for legal reasons.
Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring ruled in favour of the force in a judgment handed down at Westminster Magistrates' Court today. At an earlier hearing in July, Sarah Clarke KC, representing the force, described the Tate brothers, who are former kickboxers, as 'serial tax and VAT evaders'. They were said to have failed to pay a penny in tax on £21m of revenue from their online businesses including War Room, Hustlers' University, Cobra Tate and OnlyFans between 2014 and 2022. The court heard 38-year-old Andrew Tate's approach was 'ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away' and he said in a video posted online: 'When I lived in England I refused to pay tax.' Police said the brothers paid just under $12m (around £9.5m) into an account in J's name and opened a second account in her name, even though she had no role in their businesses. She received a payment of £805,000 into her Revolut account, the court heard, with £495,000 of that money paid to Andrew Tate, and £75,000 sent to an account in J's name that was later converted to cryptocurrency, the court heard. Martin Evans KC, representing the Tates, previously said the bank transfers made by the brothers were 'entirely orthodox' for people who run online businesses and they did 'a singularly bad job' if they had wanted to distance themselves from the money. They spent money on a number of 'exotic motor cars' but nothing illegal, he sai
