In a break with a long tradition of royal financial secrecy, Buckingham Palace disclosed on Thursday that the King paid £12.9 million (€15mn) in tax for the 2024-25 financial year, the first time such a figure has been put before the public.
The sum is likely to place King Charles III among Britain's biggest taxpayers.
The disclosure, which Buckingham Palace said was made at the King's own wish as part of a drive for greater transparency, also revealed that he paid £11.7 million (€13.5mn) the previous year and more than £30 million (€34.8mn) in total since acceding to the throne in September 2022.
