The safest tory seat in the country? They probably don't give a monkeys.

Agreed it is an absolute disgrace though.
 
BBC are going out of their way to state there is "no suggestion of wrong-doing".

Perhaps not criminal but the wife of the man in charge of collecting & spending tax using a tax loophole to avoid paying tax in the UK is hardly exemplary behaviour.

It is also unlikely that he is going to strain too much to close it, apparently 1 in 5 city bankers have non-dom status, in parts of London 12% of residents have it, it isn't just a handful of the super rich claiming it.
 
India does not allow dual citizenship so it is hardly the same as non-dom status and she pays tax on UK earnings.

eh? Non-dom is about residency for tax purposes not citizenship.
There are about 400,000 Indian's living in the UK, how many of them do you think have non-dom status?
 
Cost her 30k so she's gone to great lengths.
It's just pure greed really,:when a billion is still not enough you use loop holes to avoid contributing to the country you live in
 
A Billionairess living in downing Street ,married to the man with the Countries purse string in his hand ,dodging tax !!!!!
C,'mon ...morally it's disgusting...but morals don't really exist in the current incumbents of that street at the mo do they !!!!!!
 
There's nothing that gets a Tory more indignant than having one of their own exposed over tax matters.

And here they all come, leaping to 'dishy Rishi's' defence and his wife who apparently has no intention of staying in the UK despite setting up home in 11 Downing Street.

And owning 3 properties here
 
These are the things that annoy me the most. People will say they aren't doing anything illegal and it is true but it is wholly immoral. The reason it is legal is because the people that make the law allow it to be. People that benefit from it being this way are happy to do what is immoral at the expense of the rest of us so they are never going to change the law. It's bonkers that these sort of loopholes are allowed to exist.

Her Infy shares alone are worth 3.5 billion, that's pounds not ruppees
 
I'm sure all of this will be taken into account at the next election and our caring population will decide that we need a government who will at least try and look after the nation's people and not exploit every loophole going for their own benefit.
Or we'll see all those self absorbed voters stick with the Tories and say sod everyone else as I'm alright Jack.

I think the shares are worth "only" £680 million. She will be paying tax on the dividends in India. If the tax rate there is higher than the UK she won't have to pay any tax here.
 
When the Conservative Party and its supporters are willing to defend Johnson for doing something criminal they're not going to be critical of Sunak's wife for doing something immoral, I once had a view that politicians should have higher behavioural and moral standards than the rest of us as part of their duty of office, however this regime shows levels of corruption, self preservation at the expense of all and a contempt of those they represent which is truly mind boggling and unfitting of anyone in a position of power.

You may be right about the amount, I got my valuation from her owning 0.98% and the value of Infosys at 350 billion. She may have got 600 Mllion in dividend perhaps.

To be fair the electorate seems to care little for truth these days so I'm not sure morality is high on the agenda either. A simmering dissatisfaction occasionally boiling over into outrage, wrongly aimed at "others", seems to be all that is left.

So an Indian citizen who lives in the UK and pays tax on her shareholding in India is acting immorally?

Does that mean that some British guy working abroad and paying tax abroad is immoral?

I understand the animosity towards the Tories but it seems like a witchhunt when you read these threads.

More **** taking.

Whilst millions struggle to pay bills and eat, the wife of the chancellor avoids paying tax due to a loophole.

Wonder what his constituents think of that.

I live in that constituency and there's loads of older people who love him and his smart suits and couldn't care about anything else. They probably also take a weird pride in the chancellor being their MP
