Akshata Murty, daughter of Infosys cofounder Narayana Murty, has announced that she will pay tax in the UK on all her earnings. This also includes his earnings from India. She announced this to avoid distracting her husband and UK Finance Minister Rishi Sunak from work.

Akshata said in a statement on Twitter on Saturday, “My decision to pay tax in the UK on all my worldwide income will not change the fact that India is my birth, citizenship, parent’s home and domicile.” The country will remain, but I love Britain too.”
“In my time here I have invested in British business and supported the interests of Britain. My daughters are British. They are growing up in the UK. I am proud to be here,” he said.
