Akshata Murthy owns around 0.93% stake in Infosys, the IT behemoth founded by her father Narayana Murthy. This has put UK finance minister Rishi Sunak in a spot for more than one reason. While Sunak urged UK companies to not do business in Russia, Infosys continued its operation in Moscow.
Akshata Murthy has said she will pay British tax on her global income, including dividends and capital gains, for the 2021/22 tax year and in future. “I understand and appreciate the British sense of fairness and I do not wish my tax status to be a distraction for my husband,” she said.
