Rachel Reeves will publish tax return in U-turn hours after refusing to do so Chancellor said after delivering speech on growth she had no plans to release her tax returns.
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.
The Prime Minister’s press secretary later told reporters: “He published his tax return in opposition and will do so as Prime Minister.”.
Figures released in February 2024 showed Sir Keir Starmer paid £99,431 in tax after making £275,000 in capital gains.
