  • A mathematician who was born in Russia and has spoken out against Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine was the UK’s biggest taxpayer last year.
    The Sunday Times tax list revealed on Friday that 100 wealthy people or families contributed nearly £5.2 billion in tax in the UK last year.
    Nearly £1 in every £10 of this came from just one man - Moscow-born Alex Gerko, who set up XTX Markets in 2015 and is co-chief executive of the trading business.
    Last year he paid £487.4 million in tax, making him the biggest single taxpayer in the country.
    Robert Watts, who compiles the list, said: “Alex Gerko’s story is an extraordinary read. This was a man who could have been one of Russia’s greatest wealth creators - instead he is creating jobs and paying his tax here.
    “Enticing the super-rich to London doesn’t always pay dividends for the public finances. In his case it certainly has.”
    Hannah in Cheshire explained to Ian Collins that she is choosing to leave the UK because she is fed up with Brits "taking more than they are paying in."
