The Mirror -
Financial experts said it could have been a scheme which would help her estate avoid millions of pounds in inheritance tax.
Margaret Thatcher’s £6m London townhouse is owned by a mysterious company with links to THREE notorious tax havens.
Financial experts said it could have been a scheme which would help her estate avoid millions of pounds in inheritance tax.
