    This non-dom crackdown is so fucking stupid because it will achieve the square root of nothing.

    Oh no, anyway

    Also, no they are nit.

    They have assets in the UK, they aren’t going to leave them, so we would see them transfering assets out of the UK if they were leaving, and guess what? We’re not seeing that.

    Also, where would they go? Europe?

        Actually the article you posted indicates it will fail to raise extra. Not lead to a reduction.

        As these folks are using the status to avoid paying tax now. Them leaving just means they have to find a new nation to not help fund.

        It is not likely to raise extra money. But is likely to remove those profitting from the investmment others make in our inferstructure.

        Thos could be argued to open up the field for investers who actually want to fund our nation.

    Good,let them go. They have all their wealth offshore and barely pay tax. They are the real scroungers and parasites.

    If the wealthy refuse to pay taxes to support the UK.

    Why the hell would we need them. Move to the nations you choose to pay tax in. And enjoy the infer structure etc they provide with that taxation.

    If those rich people are willing to move to shitholes like Dubai to save a few quid in tax, they were probably going to do it anyway.

      Parasite wants to leech the local peasant but he feels zero reason to pay taxes to the local government…

      And we still got bootlickers thinking this is acceptable arrangement to have.

    As is their right to do so, you don’t pay taxes you have somewhere to live that isn’t the UK. Unlike refuges…
