Tommy Robinson has been ‘sacked’ by his British Muslim tax advisor after she accused him of instigating far-right race riots across the UK, MailOnline can reveal.
Jesminara Rahman, who specialises in tax disputes, told the former English Defence League leader that she no longer wanted his money as he was ‘destroying’ the country after it emerged that he has been stoking the riots from the safety of a sun lounger on the outskirts of Ayia Napa.
Ms Rahman, a former HMRC Tax Inspector, told MailOnline that she was advising Robinson in relation to a tax matter concerning his ex-wife, Jenna Lennon.
She said: ‘I don’t want to work with him anymore. His deposit has been returned.’

Details of Tommy Robinson’s sacking were inadvertently posted by him as he shared messages of support he claimed to have received since riots kicked off in the UK
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has made a host of controversial comments about Muslims in Britain on his social media pages.
In a 2016 interview with Newsweek, Robinson said: ‘I’m not far-right… I’m just opposed to Islam. I believe it’s backward and it’s fascist.
‘The current refugee crisis is nothing to do with refugees. It’s a Muslim invasion of Europe.’
He received the news about his sacking at an all-inclusive Cyprus resort where he has been staying over the past few days, which was first revealed by MailOnline.
Details of his sacking were inadvertently posted by him as he shared messages of support he claimed to have received since riots kicked off in the UK.
Robinson wrote: ‘I literally have 100’s of messages of love & support all day every day. Thank you thank you thank you.’
But in a rush to give his followers a glimpse of the messages, bungling Robinson also posted a WhatsApp message from Ms Rahman.
She wrote: ‘I am just letting you know that in good conscience with your instigation of riots in the UK, causing a lot of people to suffer. I can’t represent you anymore. Please provide your bank details so I can return your deposit.
‘Between you and the Zionists you are destroying our country. The irony is that if I was in the streets your followers would attack me because of the colour of my skin.’
After accidentally posting the hard-hitting message, one of Robinson’s followers asked him: ‘Is the last picture supposed to be there.’
He then reposted his messages of support without the one from Ms Rahman.
Ms Rahman runs a company called Tax Resolute Ltd, which is based in Ilford, East London and specialises in a range of tax issues. It also represents clients involved in disputes with HMRC.

Robinson has posted a stream of inflammatory social media posts from his foreign bolthole while on holiday with family and friends
On the company website, she describes herself as having ‘over 22 years experience in tax investigations’ and as somebody who can ‘help taxpayers and agents resolve tax disputes.’
Ms Rahman previously worked in HMRC for 15 years and specialised in dispute resolution.
She refused to reveal how long she had been working for Robinson but insisted that he was referred to her and not somebody she knew previously.
Robinson has posted a stream of inflammatory social media posts from his foreign bolthole while on holiday with family and friends.
The 41-year-old, who had a UK arrest warrant issued against him last Monday after he missed a court appearance had tried to keep his holiday location a secret.
While his supporters have rioted in recent days across the UK, he failed to mention his location in a series of video rants posted to his 800,000 followers on X.
But MailOnline revealed the luxury resort Robinson has been spending time in and that he spoke today to Indian English-language news channel CNN-News18, denying that he had ‘fled the UK.’
Robinson said: ‘I am on holiday with my children, that was planned. I never received any court documentation summoning me to court.
‘I am not on bail to attend court. There was a process the court has to go to, that process is not to give information to far-left organisations.’
He also told the channel that he adopted the pseudonym Tommy Robinson because people wanted to ‘murder’ him, adding: ‘My real name is actually Stephen Lennon.
‘Yes, I did use a pseudonym. Because if you want to speak about Islam, people want to kill you.’
He also claimed that ‘six Muslims are currently in British prisons for 30 years for planning to murder me’.

Robinson added: ‘I tried to protect my name, because I wanted to protect my family. I don’t think that is ridiculous at all.’
Robinson has been mixing happily with other holidaymakers in Cyprus, many of whom seem unaware of his identity.
A reporter saw him repeatedly using his mobile phone at the same time as posts went out on his X account, condemning police for supposedly cracking down on his supporters while failing to tackle Muslim protesters.
He was also seen reading a hardback copy of American businessman and conspiracy theorist Patrick Byrne’s memoir called Danger Close.
It comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned those ‘whipping up this action online and then running away themselves’ would face consequences.
MailOnline tracked down Robinson’s location after he posted a video of himself in the hotel’s gym.
We first spotted Robinson shortly before the sun went down on Saturday at the beach bar of the hotel which charges more than £400 a night for a peak season double room with all meals and drinks included.
He was filmed walking back to his chalet bungalow room with members of his family and friends before heading out for a meal later in the evening.
Robinson and his holiday group were seen dining at the resort’s Dante pizza restaurant, and then heading to the bar for a late drink.
But while others in the group swigged beer with a saxophonist providing background music, Robinson appeared to be only sipping a coffee while scrolling through his phone.
As he sat in the bar wearing a navy blue polo-style top with a brown patterned collar, he updated his profile picture on X to show an image of him wearing the same shirt an earlier protest in the UK.
