UK finance minister Rishi Sunak, once a leading contender to become prime minister, faced new criticism on Thursday after it emerged his Indian wife holds non-domiciled status, shielding her from UK taxes.

Akshata Murthy, daughter of Indian billionaire N. R. Narayana Murthy, confirmed she "is treated as non-domiciled for UK tax purposes" following a report by The Independent newspaper.

A recent YouGov poll showed his rating falling by 24 percentage points over the past two weeks, following a budget statement that was criticised for ignoring the plight of struggling Britons. Under British law, those with non-domiciled status are not liable to pay taxes on income earned abroad.
