Rich tax-dodgers were bluffing

The citation needed was for the claim

which is of course a lie.

On your net claim, link, those coming in has fallen and those going out has increased- that actually proves the reverse argument.

Yes but saying "the very rich don't believe they should pay taxes," is undermined by those with enough money to hire accountants who funnel their wealth through off-shore accounts...like your mate, Ree Smug. They actually take wealth out of the country and then lobby within the corridors of power for legislation for them to pay even less tax.

How much tax did he save by holding his money off-shore?

And?

It shows you're a mug to put up with some things. I left them for a cheaper and better service, you just took it up the ar5e. I have spent about £3k less over the past 2 1/2 years.

You tell me, you know his accountant well, don't you?

I know your accountant better.

And hypocrites like Gary Linekar fight HMRC for years about his dodgy returns and then say he should pay more

Can’t have it both ways

Of course you can. Him believing that the revenue is wrong, is not the same as him saying the rich (he sees himself as one) should pay more and that he's willing to. Not remotely the same thing.

Look up analogy

The very rich don't believe they should pay taxes.

They are so offended by the idea that they "threaten" to run away and live somewhere else.

Published YESTERDAY

The number of “non-doms” dropped by less than 1 per cent immediately after UK ministers confirmed the end of the favourable tax status, further undermining claims that tougher rules would trigger an exodus of wealthy individuals.

About 73,400 individuals claimed non-domiciled taxpayer status in 2024-25, a fall of 0.5 per cent or 400 compared with the previous year, according to figures published by HM Revenue & Customs.

The decrease reflected roughly 8,600 “newly arrived” non-domiciled taxpayers in the period, while 9,000 people exited the category.In the 2023-24 tax year, about 10,000 people were classified as “newly arrived” non-domiciled taxpayers, while 11,200 exited the category.

Thursday’s data follows surveys, largely based on anecdotal evidence, suggesting that former chancellor Rachel Reeves’ tax policies would prompt huge numbers of wealthy individuals to flee Britain."

400 non-dom tax dodgers gone from the UK.

Good riddance.

Close the door eh.

I am assuming he was "self employed" but only had one client and therefore subject to standard employee taxes rather than "corporate" tax.

Irrelevant.

Very relevant I think. He publicised his £4.9 million pound dispute and it’s been settled - for how much?
