Farages ‚Robin Hood Tax‘ würde Großbritannien £ 34 Mrd. £ pro Jahr kosten, warnt Steuerexperte

> However, a defiant Mr Farage and Reform’s former chairman Zia Yusuf insisted that the scheme is already garnering interest and will “attract new money” to the UK from those who have left the country or do not want to come because of high taxes.

Trust me bro, who cares what experts say.

Italy charge 200,000 / year and have seen many former UK non-doms relocate there.

Obviously, the main reason for that is they don’t charge IHT on non-Italian assets (and even if they did then the Italian IHT rate is 4%), whereas our genius government decided they’d like to take 40% of a non-dom’s worldwide assets.

>Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates has hit out at the Britannia card scheme proposal, which would allow wealthy people to pay a one-off fee of £250,000 and replace the former non-dom scheme scrapped by Tory chancellor Jeremy Hunt and current Labour chancellor Rachel Reeves. Reform UK believes that the scheme would produce around £2.5bn a year which it plans to hand out as a dividend of £1,000 to those on the lowest incomes.

2.5bn a year? So 10,000 rich people **per year** would willingly pay this one off fee? That’s not a sustainable income. And calling this a „Robin Hood tax“ is an insult to Robin Hood and what he represents.

Another stupid idea to prevent the real debate we need: why is capital not taxed as labour? Why does finance runs pretty much free of any taxes?

The great British public do not care for facts or logic

Great this con man is gonna make us all poorer AGAIN, and somehow people will eat it up AGAIN. If he wins the next election, I’m out of this country

Imagine proposing a policy that says ‘we’re going to treat rich foreigners better than the British nationals who live here, but don’t worry you’ll get a one off payment that will barely make a dent in your life’

These rich assholes will be paying the equivalent of *pennies* compared to their total wealth. And they get the benefit of avoiding all the taxes they’d have ever paid! And idiot British Reform voters will be cheering at the top of their lungs how amazing it all is when the country is massively poorer because of it.

This man needs to be exiled. How can someone hate their country *this much* and still have any shot at getting in to power? An absolute snake oil salesman taking the most gullible and uneducated for a ride. Terrifying if he gets anywhere close to power.

I’m sure the tax experts have no ulterior motive. Not at all.

But because it’s anti-Reform Reddit will eat it up like nobody’s business. If the alternative conclusion had been reached, there’d be a full scale systematic review deep dive in to the source and an expose of its flaws.

We really have gone to seed as a society. This is how it’s so easy to Orwellianise the world. Because we’re too partisan and thick. Depressing.

A different angle…

Those people who leave hardly like Britain if they’re not willing to pay back into the country that raised them. Do we really want their sort?

Once again, this is just an electoral bribe. Money for the rich, money for the low earners and as ever the squeezed, remain voting middle gets fuck all, likely a bigger tax bill to make up for Nigel’s other tax cuts and the £34bn this will cost us. 

Baldrick : My favourite’s the Shadow. What a man! They say he’s half way to being the new Robin Hood.
Blackadder : Why only half way?
Baldrick : Well he steals from the rich, but he hasn’t gone round to giving it to the poor yet.

Farage doesn’t want to be PM that would mean he would be shown he’s a charlatan, he knows reform is more powerful as a secondary party than leading the country.

Gotta keep grift going until he can move onto the next thing
