I’m sure that he’ll be greatly missed.
From the article: The 200-year-old tax rule had turned the British capital into a hub for the global rich by allowing them to avoid UK taxes on overseas earnings for up to 15 years.
He was probably never here anyway, this was simply where he resided for tax purposes
Hardly news tbh. It’s been fairly well known he’s been here in UAE for some time, and they recently announced Revolut was coming to the UAE.
I think the papers just picked up on recent Companies House updates. None news.
Alternate Headline: „Man who became obscenely wealthy off other people’s labor leaves country to avoid giving back“
This guy would be the one to have reason to disappear when it was his turn to buy a round.
Wow someone who doesnt contribute to the collective good of our country leaves.
Good riddance i say.
Bye. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
And don’t come back.
The story is categorically false. He was claiming non-dom status. In other words, he was telling HMRC that he **didn’t** live in the UK.
If he didn’t live in the UK before, how is he „leaving the UK“ now? He’d have to live in the UK to leave the UK.
His **business** is still in the UK so he’ll still have to pay UK taxes on his UK earnings.
Also „latest“ is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It’s been a whole **year** since he filed his change of residency.
I doubt the UK taxpayer loses much with this. He’s gone from only paying taxes on his UK earnings to…. only paying taxes on his UK earnings.
When I moved to the UK, Revolut bombarded me with ads promising easy digital banking for immigrants. Trying to follow the easiest way to get my income deposited into a UK bank account, I tried to set up with Revolut. It was a nightmare.
Anyway, years later I am still a happy Monzo customer.
I just don’t know what people are suggesting he would do otherwise? We charge him 0 tax and he stays? What’s the point of that? Give a section of society – those who benefit most from the Uk – an opt out from our tax rules? How exactly would we pay for anything?
There is nothing you can do to actually capture that tax revenue and we should stop pretending we’re missing out on it. It’s all fun and games when tories harp on about “economic illiteracy”, but their argument when it comes to these people is “let them pay nothing and hope”.
Sounds like a great company with all the scam warnings. So the guy sets up a dodgy company and now does not want to pay what he owes, sounds like good riddance then. Will fit right in in UAE!
I’m not sure why I get why people get stressed about billionaires moving away. They don’t pay any significant tax in the UK probably less than the average earner. they employ three people to clean their house full-time on minimum wage and actually are a drain to society not something positive. We don’t need billionaires we need people who contribute to society and the societal purse.
Billionaires are a major societal issue. I am intensely relaxed about them going elsewhere.
He can’t take his assets with him, it’s about time we started taxing them for the super rich
