Far-right leader has spent six years conducting his anti-migrant activism and fundraising through entities whose directors have failed to file annual accounts on a single occasion.
The companies owe 328,000 in corporation tax and employer contributions to HMRC, documents state.
Any director who fails to file accounts is committing a criminal offence, is at risk of prosecution and may have to declare conviction when travelling overseas.
However, Robinson and those close to him have never been subject to any enforcement action.
They have instead taken matters into their own hands by appointing an insolvency practitioner to wind up the companies.
Companies House has powers to investigate and prosecute individuals who fail to fulfil their obligations under the Companies Act .
Companies House charged 1,467 individual directors, of whom 761 , or 52 per cent , were convicted.
Those convicted are liable to an unlimited fine which increases daily due to non-payment.
