Rishi Sunak earned just under £5 million over the last three years, it has been revealed.
Tax returns dating back to his time as chancellor show that between 2019/20 and 2021/22, he received £1,006,374 in income, plus £3,760,588 in capital gains.
That makes a total of £4,766,962.
On that, he paid income tax and capital gains tax totalling £1,053,060.
A Labour source said: “So while Sunak was jacking up everyone else’s tax, he was paying a tax rate of about 22% on millions of pounds of income.”
Downing Street has been promising to release the PM’s tax returns for months, but eventually chose to do so on the same day that Boris Johnson was giving evidence to the privileges committee and MPs were voting on the Windsor Framework.
That led to suggestions that Number 10 were trying to ensure that it got less media coverage that would ordinarily have been the case.
