An inquiry has been launched into how Akshata Murty's non-dom status got leaked - with Sunak's team believing it could be a Labour-supporting official
Akshata Murty’s non-domicile status triggered a controversy with critics considering her arrangement inappropriate, especially with her husband being in charge of public finances.
Removals vans were spotted at Number 11 on Saturday as the family packed up their belongings and headed for their newly-refurbished, luxury pad in Kensington. Close aides have claimed Mr Sunak was prepared to resign this week amid the criticism and investigation of his wife's monetary affairs. She said she was aware that her tax arrangements did not seem compatible with "the British sense of fairness" in a statement released on Friday evening.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats are now pressing for the millionairess to pay the back taxes she had saved through not having to pay UK taxes on her overseas income.
