LONDON \u2014 King Charles III will reveal his personal tax bill in a bid to improve transparency, Buckingham Palace told UK media on Saturday, as royal finances come under increasing public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

British monarchs are legally exempt from paying certain taxes, though they have paid some duties on a voluntary basis for decades.<\/p>\n

They also have no obligation to disclose their tax bills, but recent scandals surrounding the disgraced former prince Andrew have thrust the royal family\u2019s finances into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Charles will become the first monarch to share his personal tax information, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told the Press Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to do so as Sovereign has come at the express wish of the King himself, as part of the adaptations carried across since accession,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to explain all elements of royal finances in a way that further enhances clarity and accessibility, while also placing it in its historical and constitutional context.<\/p>\n

However, since 1993 and starting with the late Queen Elizabeth II, they have voluntarily paid the first two.<\/p>\n

Before Charles ascended the throne in 2022, he also disclosed how much tax he paid when he was Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n

The royal family has sought to repair its image since the damaging revelations that Andrew, Charles\u2019s younger brother, had ties to the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Government auditors revealed this month that Andrew earned a private income from subletting cottages while paying a symbolic \u201cpeppercorn rent\u201d for a mansion for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

The UK Treasury allocates an annual payment known as the Sovereign Grant to cover the royal family\u2019s official duties.<\/p>\n
