I was particularly amused by the idea that public services in a country should be provided to those people or companies who have paid for them.
So if, for example, Facebook's London HQ caught fire, rather than the taxpayer-funded London Fire Brigade rushing to their aid, they should call the Cayman Islands and see if anyone will get in a boat with some buckets.
Or if the tax-dodging proprietor of the Daily Mail, Lord Rothermere, needed someone to investigate a break-in at his mansion, he could ask his buddies in the Conservative Party to come and play Cluedo with him, rather than troubling the Wiltshire police.

can you not combine you posts?
Its already happening. 1/4 a million ex-pats living and working in Dubai
There is no point in complaining that the super rich have tax efficient strategies or arguing that their taxes wont be missed and they can't leave when you have no idea about their mobility and no solutions to the "problem".
I'd personally like those people to want to choose to base themselves here and contribute.

No it isn't because there are vastly fewer billionaires than those far poorer. Think about the distribution.

Applies to anyone who 'dodges' tax, not just 'billionaires'. I asked you earlier in this thread, maybe you didn’t see it but I’ll give it another go; I recall you mentioning receiving dividend payments on your investments. Do you make use of your national insurance exemption, dividend tax free allowance and dividend tax rate? If so, do you consider that 'tax dodging'?

Give him a chance. He's got to Google what your on about. Not easy whilst driving back from London for the 3rd time this week.
Not all, but certainly more than usual, it's happening now.
Exodus of millionaires as Britain ‘loses its shine’
The ultra-wealthy are deserting the UK, piling extra pressure on public finances

"The number of people claiming “non-dom” tax status, which exempts British residents with their permanent home abroad from paying UK tax on their foreign income or capital gains, has also fallen sharply."
Good.
Sponging parasites.

"Another rule change followed in 2017, meaning someone who has lived in the UK for at least 15 of the past 20 years automatically becomes domiciled in the UK and is taxed on their worldwide wealth like the rest of the population."

"Ten oligarchs placed on the UK sanction list in relation to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, used a “golden visa” scheme for high-net-worth individuals to establish themselves in the country, home secretary Suella Braverman has revealed.
Braverman made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday at the end of a long-awaited review into the tier 1 investor visa route, confirming long-held suspicions that Kremlin-backed individuals exploited the scheme to gain a UK base.
In the wake of the review, she said the government would never again have a visa scheme based “solely on the basis of the applicant’s wealth”.
She said a “small minority” of 6,312 people who had used the visa route between 2008 and 2015 “were potentially at high risk of having obtained wealth through corruption or other illicit financial activity, and or being engaged in serious and organised crime”.

Correct. Tory scum milking the skint UK, can all pith off. Good riddance.
But they might be running investment companies employing British workers that are giving JohnD his fantastic investment returns. He might be cutting off his capitalist nose to spite his socialist face.

Or doing plastering, plumbing or building jobs for mostly cash. Their skills are still needed.
