An inquiry is under way into how details of UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s wife’s tax affairs were leaked to the media.
As a “non-dom” UK resident, Akshata Murty has not been required by law to pay UK taxes on her overseas income. However on Friday, Ms Murty announced she will now pay UK taxes on the overseas income she earns.
She owns £700m in shares of the Indian IT giant Infosys – founded by her father – for which she received £11.6m in dividend income last year.

london is a haven for russian oligarchs, so if someone is non-dom..and is legal…how is it a tax fraud!
Lets conveniently exclude that the money is earned in India and tax is duly paid in India
Send him back to India 😂
The economic problems of the UK were not caused by the Sunak family, and they are not likely to go away because they step down. People on this comment section are so bitter about their lot that this is somehow helping them to escape their reality.
Grow up people. Look at the answers within. Rishi Sunak is a young lad who is doing what he can. His wife's inheritance is not really going to change the trajectory of the UK !
And just for the record the UK recession or depression is not caused by the current Chancellor!
The BBC license should be discussed if we are talking about immoral and vile behaviour of extortion and corruption
Isn't it funny how this guy everyone loved.. when he was giving money out..now everyone hates him hahaha 😆
I reckon he should be pushed out of number 11 Downing Street but the normal working person can’t get out of paying our tax it shows that he isn’t being honest with the British people and how much do our politicians cost the British people the money his wife should be paying it could be given to our NHS instead of putting up our National Insurance also the House of Lords should be closed as they to buck the system and cost the British Public millions of pounds from their dishonesty and you could see from the Pandora papers Tony Blair is one these who go through loopholes in the law to get out of paying nearly four hundred thousand pounds
Failed examples of communist and socialist
economic policy in the world.
1. The Soviet Union, due to bad economic
policies divided into 16 pieces.
2-After the death of Mao, in 1975 China
adopted privatization policy.
3- After Nehru's socialism failed,
India adopted a privatization policy in 1990.
4- In Nepal communists and socialists
are complete failure too.t
They should be. Because they lie And they want to take advantage.
Why you do not make “tax gate” over this story. You BBC are not proportional about issues .
Britain has once ruled India. Now brilliant indian minds rule in British cabinet. You only reap what you sow
Global UK tax for non British citizen .
How crazy!!
UK was built on the blood sweat & the loot from more than 150 countries and these countries' people still have to pay to this BS insane UK tax system.
Sounds like he and Biden have the same option Biden wants to be Russian and rishi wants to be a yank looks like me UK politics should have a UK residents only apply label on it
God these people are just too much. We all have no money due to paying sooooo much tax whilst they are chilling And lieing
I said it during the first lockdown and I'll repeat it again, this plank is the worst chancellor in modern history this moron has bankrupted the country sending a fee million below uk standards of poverty this idiot has put the public in such an awkward position that for generations to come brits will have to work as tax slaves this moron has ruined hundreds or thousands of lives livelihoods and businesses tens of thousands of homes are either repossessed awaiting imminent eviction or tenants already evicted when all of these crisis could have easily been avoided I said it then and I'll repeat all he had to do was offer 100% government backed business loans of up to 5 million no questions asked provided which ever entity took a loan the could legally be penalised if they let any employee go
The reason why pyramid still exits in Egypt is that they were too heavy for British folks to steal and put in a British museum.
🤣😂🤣😂
He's finally getting shafted the fraudster
It now comes to light that Rishi Sunak's wife was part owner of Lava Mayfair Club Ltd (a private membership gym), which collapsed last year owing almost £44million to creditors, including £374,000 to HMRC!
Another of Mrs Sunak's ventures… Mrs Wordsmith (an education business) went into administration last year owing £16.3million – after receiving a £1.3million loan from the Government's "Future Fund"!
OH IT GETS WORSE… Digme Fitness (which she owns 100% of) received up to £635,000 of furlough money… before it then closed its eight studios in London and Oxford… still owing HMRC £415,000!
So …. Mr Sunak introduces the furlough scheme … and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by up to £635,000!
Mr Sunak oversees the rules regarding Non-Dom status … and the woman he's sleeping with benefits by over £20 million!
Mr Sunak is in charge of ensuring that the UK maximises its tax revenue… yet the woman he's sleeping with has been active in, or has owned, companies going bust owing a staggering £789,000 to HMRC!
Mr Sunak says his wife's tax affairs are none of OUR business… he can f"$# RIGHT off!!
By that logic, now Britons should pay taxes in India for the money earned in Britain, correct ??
I don't see anything wrong here tbh. If it's legal and above board then thats how it is. I'm guessing anyone would do the same.
Wow while we work 40 hours plus to try make ends meet. Disgusting MF. We the UK citizens are sick of these idiots bumping us for every penny. Sunak thought he may be in for a shot at PM. NO THANKYOU. Tory's must go
Chocolate bars
Or
Turds
She might divorce him?!?
It's fun to watch British people losing shit because of money she made in India, It's not like she is living on social welfare, she pays property taxes in the UK( again money she made in India) and taxes on every penny coming to the UK, And the same thing was done by dozen of British citizens, scammed billions in India and living a life a luxury in UK and Uk people don't even a word, level of hypocrisy, I tell you! She is non-dom, she has to fulfill her immigration requirement such as not being dependent on the UK govt and flying in and out of the UK according to her visa which she meets!
She just she makes that money, she is not entitled to give your broke asses!

Arrogance in almost immeasurable amounts!
so we payed 50million in furlough tax payers money to her company but she wont pay tax here?
That why they've risen the taxes! It time to fired them greedy people!
Brits need to wake up, the system is such a mess, Rishi is a proper unelected person. He came from nowhere
.. facts are facts. They're clearly playing the tax avoidance game. It's not a smear campaign.
Bojo you idiot, tax avoidance is unfair and drains public services of much needed money so its in the public interest. He's suppose to be our PM… scumbag
Why Indian? 🤷
BBC ( B@$TARD BRITISH CHANNEL) harassing our ppl Coz they earn more than you ? Apply burnol and rip
You Britishers shud be the last ppl to call others theif$ . Ur whole country is built by the stolen wealth of other countries .
Most di$gusting
GST 😏
We all know that they paid clever well educated people to make that statement up to cover her own a**.
A damn Indian as a chancellor in the UK . Can a British citizen be a mayor or chancellor in India? Yeah I doubt it . The UK is pathetic 🤢🤢🤢
Just to reaffirm the line of discussion, they have not broken the law by any means. Nor has her husband altered the law for her. Besides it’s inherited wealth which is not laundered or gained through fraudulent means.
