Prince William is paying an income tax bill of up to £7million a year, putting the future king in the top 0.002 per cent of taxpayers in the UK, a new report has revealed.
The Prince of Wales has refused to disclose his tax contributions in the past, though he is understood to pay the top rate of 45 per cent.
The majority of William’s income comes from the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate worth about £1.1billion, which generates more than £20million a year.
Questions around transparency on tax have intensified after revelations the Cornwall estate, along with the Duchy of Lancaster, generated millions by charging public bodies, such as the NHS, the armed forces, and schools for use of its land.
His father King Charles III previously disclosed that he voluntarily paid £5.9million in income tax on Duchy earnings in his final year as heir, 2021-2022.
Since then, however, neither he nor William has made their tax arrangements public.
William is understood to follow a similar approach to his father, paying the highest rate of tax of 45 per cent.
In 2023-24, the first financial year in which he oversaw the Duchy of Cornwall, William received £23.6 million.
