Criticism of Rishi Sunak's wife over her non-domicile status is 'completely legitimate', Labour MP Jess Phillips has told LBC.
revealed on Wednesday that Ms Murthy, who is believed to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds, held non-dom status.
The newspaper claims the status could have saved the Chancellor's wife millions of pounds in tax on foreign earnings, but a spokeswoman for Ms Murthy said she has always paid UK taxes on her UK income. A spokeswoman for Ms Murthy confirmed she held non-dom status and said: "Akshata Murthy is a citizen of India, the country of her birth and parent's home."So, according to British law, Ms Murthy is treated as non-domiciled for UK tax purposes.It is understood Mr Sunak declared his wife's tax status when he became a minister in 2018, and the Treasury was also aware so that any potential conflicts could be managed.
