PM vows to share tax return

RISHI SUNAK has promised to publish his tax return within a year, meaning the public could get a greater insight into the scale of his personal wealth.

The Prime Minister said “yes, of course” when asked by reporters travelling with him for the G20 summit in Bali whether he would release it in full.

The commitment repeats a position adopted during the Tory leadership campaign, when Mr Sunak confirmed his stance in a debate against Liz Truss.

Mr Sunak is one of the richest MPS in Parliament, a fact that Labour MPS have used against him in Prime Minister’s Questions during questions about food banks and the NHS.

He said on publishing his tax return: “That is the established precedent and I’d be very happy to follow the precedent. In terms of timing, I will have to speak to the Cabinet Office and figure out the right way that happens. But yeah, I have no problem doing that.”

Asked whether it will happen within his first year of becoming Prime Minister, he added: “Yes, of course.”
