The 11 wealthiest individuals and families in Yorkshire named in this year’s Sunday Times Tax List collectively paid £232 million in tax.
The eighth edition of the list, published as millions of people met the self-assessment deadline at the end of January, features figures from music, the arts, high finance, retail, as well as billionaire aristocrats and self-made entrepreneurs.
But in Yorkshire, Malcolm Healey of Wren Kitchens contributed the most, handing over nearly £40 million in tax.
Often regarded as the region’s richest man, Healey owns a sprawling estate near Pocklington but resides in the US. Wren is his third kitchens business.
But who else in Yorkshire paid the most to HMRC?
