Prime minister Rishi Sunak published details of his personal tax filings on Wednesday (22), showing he had paid more than £1 million in tax in the three financial years to April 2022.
According to his filings, the British leader received almost £330,000 last year from his prime ministerial salary, and interest and dividends from savings and investments.
A further £1.6m was received from a US-based investment fund, said the document, compiled by financial services firm Evelyn Partners and titled 'Personal Tax Returns' which was published by the government.
Sunak first pledged to publish his tax return during his failed leadership campaign against Liz Truss in summer 2022. Having taken office in October after she resigned, he said in November he stuck by that promise.
Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy - whose father NR Narayana Murthy co-founded Indian IT major, Infosys - are the richest ever occupants of Number 10 Downing Street.
They were ranked 17th in the Asian Rich List last year, with an estimated wealth of £790 million.
Murthy owns about 0.9 per cent of Infosys - entitling her to a dividend payment worth 11.6 million pounds last year.

Man pleads not guilty to murder of BBC presenter's family
A 26-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC sports commentator John Hunt in a crossbow and knife attack.
Kyle Clifford, who also faces charges of rape, appeared via video link at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday.
Clifford, arrested in July after a manhunt, is charged with three counts of murder, one count each of rape and false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons – a 10-inch knife and a crossbow.
During the hearing, Clifford denied all the charges except for the rape charge, which was added to the indictment at the session.
He is expected to enter a plea for that charge at a later date.
The victims were Carol Hunt, 61, wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28.
An earlier hearing revealed that Louise had been found tied up and that both she and her sister had been shot with a crossbow, while their mother had been stabbed with a knife.
The fatal attack occurred at the family’s home in Bushey, a commuter town near Watford, northwest of London.
