NEW Desert Island Discs host Lauren Laverne is funnelling part of her BBC wages through a private company.
She is using a firm she set up in January 2016 four years after the Beeb vowed to end the practice.
It allows stars to pay 18 per cent corporation tax on a portion of their salary instead of 45 per cent income tax, while the BBC avoids paying National Insurance.
Recent accounts show Laverne, 40, who works almost exclusively for the BBC, paid herself dividends of £213,000 from her company Duckie and George which has £264,000 in the bank.
The BBC 6 Music radio presenter had a corporation tax bill of £75,479, which suggests the firm made a profit of around £400,000 in 2017.
The BBC has said she earns between £230,000 and £239,000.
Laverne’s appearances as a host at Glastonbury in 2017 are not revealed as it is made by BBC Studios, which is not obliged to release pay details.
She will take over Desert Island Discs while Kirsty Young, 49, recovers from fibromyalgia, which causes chronic pain.

The BBC said it never comments on individual cases.
But it has admitted it paid 66 of its 96 highest earning presenters £20.8million through personal service firms last year.
That could have helped stars save up to £10million in tax and the BBC up to £2.8million in NI.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
