Hassan Nawaz’s bankruptcy will end on April 29, 2025

Hassan Nawaz, the son of former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, will have his bankruptcy officially end on April 29, 2025.

This follows a protracted legal battle with the British tax authorities, which led him to approach the London High Court after exhausting all other options.

According to a spokesperson from the British Tax Department, the bankruptcy stems from a tax dispute with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), with the amount involved being under £1 million.

The strict privacy laws surrounding tax matters keep the details of the case confidential, but it is understood that the dispute does not involve any criminal activity, fraud, or money laundering.

Instead, it concerns taxes owed on an inactive company that Hassan Nawaz had refused to pay.

The British Tax Department clarified that the issue is strictly a civil case, with no criminal charges involved.

The case began in 2020 when HMRC sought to resolve the tax matter with Hassan Nawaz over his refusal to pay taxes on a dormant company.

Despite the legal challenges, Hassan Nawaz remains a director of several companies, highlighting his ongoing involvement in business ventures.

This situation underscores the financial responsibilities of company directors, particularly in relation to taxes, even for companies that are no longer operational.

While Hassan Nawaz’s bankruptcy has attracted public attention due to his family’s political prominence, it remains a financial matter rather than a political or criminal one.
