PRIME Minister David Cameron faces a fresh row over his personal finances after revealing the tax he has paid over the last six years.

The papers reveal the Witney MP was given a £200,000 gift by his mother Mary Cameron following his father's death in a move which could potentially avoid inheritance tax.

Number 10 said that the two payments of £100,000 in 2011 came on top of the £300,000 Mr Cameron inherited from his father Ian as the Prime Minister's mother attempted to "balance" the sums received by their children.

The information was revealed as part of an unprecedented release of information about the Prime Minister's finances, which showed that he paid more than £400,000 in tax on an income of more than £1 million over six years from 2009 to 2015.

The payments by Mrs Cameron to her son in May and July 2011 were given tax free, and will only become liable to inheritance tax of up to 40% if the Prime Minister's mother dies within seven years of handing over the money.

The release of the information by Downing Street followed the furore over the Panama Papers data leak and the revelation that Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha made a £19,000 profit on shares in an offshore trust set up by the Prime Minister's father.

The Prime Minister’s late father was reported to be among figures – including six peers, three ex-Tory MPs and political party donors – named in relation to investments set up by Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Mr Cameron, who will chair an international anti-corruption summit in May, has been a vocal advocate of reform and legislation forcing British companies to disclose who owns and benefits from their activities comes into force in June.

But the Prime Minister has been angered by the focus on his father's offshore business interests, insisting it was a "fundamental misconception" that the Blairmore Holdings trust had been set up to avoid tax.

His mum Mary, 81, told a national newspaper that "nothing wrong had been done".

Speaking from outside her home in Berkshire, Mrs Cameron added: "They're all chasing after  Idon't know what.

"I think it's absolutely disgusting. I've nothing more to say about it."

The information released by Number 10, in a schedule drawn up by accountants, showed the Prime Minister had a taxable income of more than £200,000 in 2014-15 and paid almost £76,000 in tax.

The figures show that, on top of his income as Prime Minister, his 50% share of the rental income on the Camerons' family home in London amounted to £46,899, he received £9,834 in taxable expenses from the Tory party and £3,052 in interest on savings in a high street bank.

The figures reveal that when he first entered Downing Street in 2010 he benefited from a £20,000 tax-free allowance as part of his £142,500 salary, although in subsequent years he did not take advantage of the long-standing perk available to occupants of Number 10.

Mr Cameron. who is paid an annual salary of £142,500, said he was publishing the information to be "completely open and transparent" about his financial affairs.

The disclosure came after he admitted botching the handling of the row over his finances, telling Tory activists it had "not been a great week".

The tax return figures show that in 2009-10, while leader of the opposition, Mr Cameron paid £43,483 income tax on a total taxable income of £129,225.

In 2010-11, after entering Downing Street, he paid £56,155 on a taxable income of £157,286 - benefiting from the little-known £20,000 tax-free "prime ministerial expenses deduction".

In 2011-12 his income rose to £200,919, boosted by his share of the rental income from the Notting Hill home vacated by the Camerons when they moved in to Downing Street, and he paid £77,987 in tax.

In 2012-13 Mr Cameron paid £72,472 tax on an income of £189,506; in 2013-14 he paid £76,288 on his £200,735 income.

The figures show that the Camerons receive rent of more than £90,000 a year on the Notting Hill property.
