After 2025, Joshua made the list of the top 100 taxpayers in Great Britain. Fred and Peter Done, the founders of betting/gambling giant Betfred, paid an estimated £400.1 million ($547.86 million) in tax over the past year. Joshua was ranked 100th on the list after paying an estimated £11 million ($15 million).
Former One Direction member and current solo artist Harry Styles was a new entry on the list, paying £24.7 million ($33.8 million) in tax.

The list revealed that the top 100 taxpayers paid a total of £5.758 billion ($7.88 billion), up from £4.985 billion ($6.83 billion) the previous year. The list suggests that the increase in tax paid by the top 100 is a consequence of the increase in corporation tax from 19% to 25%, which was introduced a few years ago, in 2023, by the previous British government. The above list is given according to the Sunday Times annual tax list.
