King Charles Shows Tax Bill

King Charles is the king of Britain. He paid £12.9 million in tax this year. No king has shown his tax bill before. The palace says the king wants to be open.

Most people must pay tax. The king does not have to. But Charles chooses to pay. His money comes from royal lands. He does not show all the numbers.

Many people say the tax is too low. Other rich people pay much more. But the king is still very rich.
