"Sunak cleared in investigation into family’s tax affairs
Boris Johnson’s ministerial adviser concludes chancellor did not breach ministerial code over wife’s tax status
Rishi Sunak has been cleared of breaching the ministerial code over his wife’s tax affairs, in a report by the cabinet’s ethics adviser, Lord Geidt.
The chancellor asked the adviser on ministerial interests to look into his case amid accusations he had failed to be transparent about the non-domicile tax status of his wife, Akshata Murty, which meant she did not legally have to pay UK tax on her foreign earnings. She has since said she will voluntarily pay the tax."
