King Charles will become the first British monarch to release his personal tax bill this week, prompting calls for the Government to end the Royal Family’s special tax exemptions.Details of the King’s taxes will be published in Thursday’s royal accounts in a bid by Buckingham Palace to boost transparency.
However, campaigners and royal commentators have condemned the tax exemptions that both Charles and Prince William will continue to enjoy.
Too much secrecy will surround royal finances even after the King shares his tax bill, they told The i Paper.
Calls for greater openness follow a series of scandals surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor – including an “outrageous” rental income he was able to receive at Windsor over two decades.
