Rachel Reeves will publish a tax return after saying she had no ‘plans to do so’ Rachel Reeves will publish a tax return, it is understood, after the Chancellor earlier said she did not have any plans to do so.
Answering questions following a major speech on her economic growth plans, Ms Reeves said earlier on Wednesday: “Chancellors and prime ministers haven’t published their tax returns in the past, and I don’t have any plans to do so.”.
Ms Reeves’ predecessor in No 11 Jeremy Hunt paid a total of £117,418 in UK tax in 2022/2023, a summary of his return showed.
He also paid £52,688 in capital gains tax after the sale of a field in December 2022 partly owned by himself and partly owned by his father’s estate.
Both Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt published tax figures while they were in Government, as Sir Keir did in opposition.
