Dan Neidle

Dan Neidle 是一位英国税务律师和调查记者。在 Clifford Chance 工作 23 年后，他于 2020 年成为该公司英国税务主管，随后退出私人执业，并创立了 Tax Policy Associates，这是一个为政策制定者和记者提供税务问题咨询的非营利组织。Neidle 关于避税和欺诈的报道为他赢得了声誉，被誉为能够向公众解释复杂税法的罕见专家。他因揭露税务丑闻的工作在 2023 年英国新闻奖中获得“年度调查奖”，他的分析经常在社交媒体上获得数百万的浏览量。[编辑]

Dan Neidle 于 1973 年出生，父亲 Stephen Neidle 是药物设计教授，母亲 Andrea 是文案撰稿人。他是犹太人。他曾就读于布里斯托尔大学，后来在伦敦法学院学习，并获得律师资格。1997 年，他加入 Clifford Chance，这是伦敦领先的国际律师事务所之一，他在那里工作了 23 年。在此期间，他为重大交易提供咨询，包括中国核工业集团对 160 亿英镑的 Hinkley Point C 核电站的投资、区块链公司 20|30 Limited 的首次 FCA 监管的股权 ICO，以及为 AIG、Zurich、Aviva 和 HCC Tokio Marine 提供的各种税务风险保险政策。他还在伦敦国王学院和法学院为税务专业人士授课，并为 BBC、Bloomberg、Financial Times 和 Wall Street Journal 等媒体提供专家评论。到 2020 年，他已晋升为该公司的英国税务主管。[编辑]

2021 年从 Clifford Chance 退休后，Neidle 创立了 Tax Policy Associates，这是一个为政策制定者和记者提供税务政策咨询的非营利组织。2023 年 1 月，他爆料称保守党议员、前财政大臣 Nadhim Zahawi 未能缴纳 370 万英镑的资本利得税，这可能意味着 Zahawi 未报告收到约 2700 万英镑。Neidle 关于此事的推文获得了数百万的浏览量。2024 年 6 月，他发表独家报道，揭露 HMRC 的错误让 Paul Baxendale-Walker（被称为可能是英国最臭名昭著的避税计划推广者）逃脱了 1400 万英镑的罚款。Baxendale-Walker 随后威胁要以骚扰罪起诉 Neidle，以诽谤罪起诉他，并向他索赔 50 万英镑。2024 年 8 月，Neidle 发表报告，指控总部位于诺里奇的税务咨询公司 Green Jellyfish 向英国的研发税收抵免计划提交欺诈性索赔。他的报告导致 HMRC 突击搜查并逮捕了 11 名董事和员工；该公司停止运营。Neidle 还于 2022 年至 2025 年在工党全国宪法委员会任职三年，为五个政党的政策制定者提供咨询，并且是 SNP 苏格兰政府税务咨询小组的成员。[编辑]

Neidle 以其清晰犀利的写作风格著称，能够为普通读者解密复杂的税务问题。他展现出严谨调查者的形象，经常在 X 上发布详细的帖子，逐步剖析税务丑闻。他直言不讳、敢于点名道姓的专家形象，为他在政策观察者和记者中赢得了忠实追随者。媒体机构经常引用他作为避税和欺诈方面的权威声音。他的工作曾招致被调查者的法律威胁，但他继续以冷静、基于事实的语气发表文章，这进一步巩固了他的可信度。[编辑]

Dan Neidle, the British tax lawyer and investigative journalist, has been evaluated by iFANN's Global Fame Engine but does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor in any Top-100 scope list. His fame, while considerable in policy and media circles, has not translated into the broad global recognition that the rankings measure.

Neidle's audience is not a fandom in the traditional sense; there is no formal name for his followers, and no documented fan campaigns, rituals, or collective self-designation. His influence is exercised through his Tax Policy Associates website, his active X account, and appearances on programs like ITV Peston and Times Radio. Those who follow him are typically engaged in UK tax policy, politics, and investigative journalism, forming an informal, diffuse community centered on intellectual engagement with his analysis rather than personal devotion.[编辑]

Neidle coined a definition of chutzpah in relation to Nadhim Zahawi: lying to the press, threatening them with libel action, and then complaining that their headlines were mean. He was threatened with prosecution for harassment and a £500,000 libel suit by Paul Baxendale-Walker after publishing an investigation. His investigation of Green Jellyfish led to the arrest of 11 people and the closure of the company. He advises policymakers in five different political parties and sits on the SNP Scottish Government's Tax Advisory Group.

In March 2026, Neidle secured a landmark anti-SLAPP victory when a barrister's £8 million libel claim against him was thrown out of court, marking the first test of new legislation designed to curb abusive litigation. The case, dismissed on March 11, has become a cornerstone of his reputation as a journalist willing to take on powerful interests despite legal threats.

His public debates with economist Gary Stevenson over tax policy have become a recurring theme in his lore, with Neidle often portrayed as systematically dismantling Stevenson's wealth tax proposals in forums and on social media. Additionally, his July 2026 analysis of a £5 million donation to Reform UK, suggesting a potential £3 million tax bill, generated significant media attention and became a widely shared talking point.[编辑]
