Sunak is a British citizen. However, Akshata has not given away her Indian citizenship. India doesn't allow dual citizenship like many of its European counterparts.
She has a non-domiciled status. Because of this, under UK laws, she can live in the country without paying taxes for 15 years. The issue is a vexed topic of debate in the United Kingdom. She, however, said she had and would always pay taxes on all her income.
