Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer reveals he paid £67,000 in taxes last year, a day after Rishi Sunak showed he paid £432,000 to HMRC
No10 published "a summary" of his UK taxable income, capital gains and tax paid as reported to HMRC, prepared by accountancy service Evelyn Partners.The PM first pledged to publish his tax returns during his initial campaign to become Tory leader last summer, in a bid to show transparency.
He repeatedly promised to do so in recent months, and faced continued pressure to release the documents when it emerged Tory former minister Nadhim Zahawi settled an estimated £4.7 million bill with HMRC while he was Chancellor. Mr Sunak's family finances previously faced scrutiny while he was Chancellor too, when the "non-dom" status of his wife Akshata Murty was revealed.
Following the controversy, Ms Murty, the fashion designer billionaire's daughter who married Mr Sunak in 2009, declared that she would pay UK taxes on all her worldwide income.
