The billionaire founders of Betfred have claimed the top spot on the Sunday Times Tax List after contributing more than £400 million to the public purse. Fred and Peter Done led a record-breaking year where the top 100 contributors paid a combined £5.7 billion, driven partly by higher corporation tax rates. Notable figures appearing on the ranking include singer Harry Styles, boxer Anthony Joshua, and author JK Rowling, alongside Premier League footballers.
