Chris Moyles, the Radio 1 presenter, invested in an aggressive tax avoidance scheme that was used by 500 wealthy people to try to deny the Treasury £200 million.
The Rushmore strategy was described by a government minister as “highly abusive” and “a scam”, and was shut down by the Treasury in 2009 before investors could claim tax relief.

Mr Moyles, 38, also set up a type of pension scheme that was flagged up as a potential concern in a BBC-commissioned report on stars’ payment
