Well it’s speculation that she’s not paying taxes in India - I’m sure if that was the case Labour and the Guardian would have been all over it.

To give up non dom status she would have to become a tax resident of the UK. As a consequence she would lose her status as resident of India. She would then be on a timer to acquire UK citizenship. As a consequence of that she may well lose rights to retain assets and inherit certain assets of her fathers. So it’s far more complicated than we can really begin to appreciate - and due to the wealth involved even more so.

For me so long as she is paying tax in the country it’s earned then that’s enough scruples but we all have different bars.

You’re confusing citizenship and non-domiciled tax status. She didn’t select the non-dom tax box on the HMRC form to preserve her Indian citizenship. The two things aren’t connected.

And if she is paying the tax on non-U.K. earnings to India then she should sack her PR adviser. Paying tax to India would kill this story straight away. The media know that as they know it’s probable she keeps her dividends in a tax haven.

I bet you and most others on here never actually cared that much about the whole non-Dom issue until the 24 hours.
Now we have a bunch of experts

Erm. It’s why it’s called current affairs.

Yes, I expect this appalling witch hunt against a young couple just trying to do their best for their children will be the hot topic of sympathetic conversation at the food bank queues tomorrow.

Actually he was confusing domicile, residence AND citizenship.

still, why let silly things like facts stop you from spouting shite about stuff you don’t understand?

Tug and doff appeasers whilst they game your taxes

Family firm of Sunak's non-dom status wife won £50m in taxpayer-funded deals

A Mirror investigation has found the Murty family’s vast Infosys business made tens of millions of pounds from British taxpayer-funded contracts, some since Mr Sunak became Chancellor in 2020

Conservative MPs, and MPs in general bending or using the rules to their advantage who would have thought it ?
This whole country needs a massive kick up the arse and dragged into the 21st century.
Viva la revolution!!!!

Because thats the rule, unless you use a loophole and pay to opt out of that rule to save money. It may be legal, but for the wife of the chancelor it certainly isn’t moral.

What money is she opting out of paying?
