Supplier of housing for homeless linked to faith group tax avoidance scheme

A Guardian investigation finds documented familial and professional links between Midos Management Co, a temporary homeless accommodation provider that has received more than £45 million in public funds from UK local councils since 2019, and the Schreiber family, which is accused of running a bogus prayer room tax avoidance scheme that has deprived councils of millions in unpaid business rates. Representatives for Midos Management and the associated Midos Group deny any operational connection between the two firms, despite overlapping leadership and ownership ties.
