When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Crucially, Tice said Raynir should resign if she had “any moral decency.”
As a Labour MP, she is expected to have moral decency. Reform UK Plc are not held to the same standard by themselves or their supporters.
So, his transgression is defensible because he's not expected to follow the rules.

Rule no. 1 of right-wing populists: the rules and standards they apply to others never apply to themselves.

Rule no. 2: all rules and standards are only for the moment and are adjusted as it suits them.

Rule no. 3: members of their own party or movement are above all rules and standards.

Incredible! His accountant must be as crooked as he is. You first pay tax on your profits (Corporation Tax), then with what is left you can draw dividends and those you then pay income tax. My tiny little company manages to pay around £7000 of tax pa, I will use the same excuse w HMRC nxt Dec.
