Income tax payments on the Royal family.....
Voluntary it may be, but the fact is they DO and because they DO it means they have to account for their income to the taxman like the rest of us and pay the appropriate charges.
Besides helping to secure vast amounts of international business trade for the UK they also raise millions of pounds each year for much needed charities.Work that has previously gone unrecognised.
