Rishi wife’s tax is not his to share

-

RISHI SUNAK has announced he will publish his tax return, making him the first Prime Minister to do so since David Cameron. He won’t be making his wife, Akshata Murty’s, return public, as is perfectly proper.

It used to be the case that a wife’s income had to be declared on her husband’s return. Only in 1990 did that change. A married woman now has independen­ce and privacy in financial matters. I’m sure Rishi benefits from Akshata’s vast assets but, no, he doesn’t have to tell us.
