Several papers continue to report on news the chancellor’s wife, Akshata Murty, has non-domiciled tax status. The Guardian says her non-dom status – which she pays £30,000 a year to maintain – means she has potentially avoided up to £20m in UK tax on the £54.5m in dividends she got from Infosys, the Indian-based IT firm founded by her father, over the last seven-and-a-half years. Ms Murty’s spokesman says all necessary taxes have been paid in full but the paper says the row over her tax status risks “further denting” her husband Rishi Sunak’s “carefully honed” brand among voters and Tory MPs.
