By law, British monarchs are not required to pay income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. Nevertheless, Charles III has decided to take a step intended to increase the transparency of the monarchy's private finances. The disclosure of personal tax payments is being presented as a new element in the regular reporting of royal finances. aktuality.sk ↗

Buckingham Palace stated that the aim is to strengthen the clarity and accessibility of information about the financing of the monarchy. The step comes at a time of increased pressure for openness from the institution and after a series of controversies that have in recent years heightened public interest in the palace's finances.
