UK minister’s wife to pay taxes on worldwide income amid row | Malay Mail

LONDON, April 9 — Akshata Murty, wife of Britain’s finance minister Rishi Sunak, announced yesterday she will start paying UK tax on “all worldwide income,” amid controversy over her non-domiciled status.

In a statement, Murty, daughter of Indian billionaire NR Narayana Murthy, said she did not want her non-domiciled status to be a “distraction” for her husband. Sunak, once a leading contender to succeed Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has seen his popularity plummet in recent weeks as consumer prices surge across the board.The Independent revealed that Sunak was listed among the beneficiaries of trusts in the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, two tax havens.

“She loves her country. Like I love mine,” he said, adding that “every single penny she earns in the UK she pays UK taxes on”.
