Jeremy Corbyn has published details of his tax return, hours after the chancellor, Philip Hammond, said he would not be releasing his. The Labour leader revealed that his total income for 2015-16 was £114,342 and that he paid £35,298 in tax, according to a tax summary published on his website. The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, has also made public his tax return. The issue would be raised with the accountant who worked on the tax returns, he said. “So one way of re-establishing some element of openness and transparency would be, over a million, you publish your tax return,” he said.
