I think I've mentioned this before, and whilst you don't know how you would be until actually in a situation, I think if I was absolutely loaded, I'd want to pay as little tax as I legally had to. I suspect many normal income people would be the same if they became extremely rich. It's easy to say 'tax the rich more!' and there may indeed be some validity to the suggestion, however it's no wonder not all rich people are on board with the idea.
 
Try thinking about what it actually means yourself.

A person who would otherwise domicile in another country pays 250k tax

The alternative is..... zero tax, because they aren't living here.
Farage is trying to sell trickle down to poor people

he is selling the con that slashing taxes to the wealthiest people will make poor people better off...............which is a lie.

you dont know if they would domicile in another country


taxation level is not the only reason for choosing a country to live............I realise it is for greedy nasty people like Richard Tice and his partner Oakshitt
 
Motorbiking only supports Reform because they are the party that will slash taxes for the wealthy whilst making the poor worse off

Motorbiking loves to see the poorest in society unable to be able to feed themselves so the wealthiest can buy a slightly bigger luxury yacht

If we're being honest with ourselves, to what extent do we think any of this will ever change to a significant degree? When I say 'any of this' I'm referring to the rich and poor divide. We've always had extremes of wealth and poverty with everything between. Do we honestly think we'll ever get to a stage where any of this is sorted to everyone's satisfaction? I don't.

All political parties lie (or at the very least are flexible with the truth) to the electorate. Farage and Reform are no different in that regard.

Maybe AI will present the answer? I watched a tv prog on it a few weeks back and some of the experts were saying AI will lead to most of us not having to work, with everyone receiving a proper living wage for doing ... not much actually.

That is just your opinion.

The non-doms are the people he is targeting with the fee.

The UK is projected to lose a record 16,500 high net worth individuals this year, worth nearly $92bn in investable assets, representing an estimated 9 per cent of this group, according to the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2025. Of UK millionaires, 26 per cent are either very or somewhat likely to change their tax domicile within 12 months, reported a syndicate study by Savanta, the market research group. This figure rises to 29 per cent among those holding more than £5mn in investable assets — very high net worth individuals — pointing to deepening unease among the nation’s wealthiest residents, said the Savanta MillVue Q1 2025 survey.

Tax reform—especially around non-doms, inheritance, and capital gains—is driving a significant and accelerating exodus of wealthy individuals: roughly 11,000 left in 2024, with 16,500 expected in 2025.
dont show this to Motorbiking..............


its a group of multi millionaires who want a wealth tax


It's a very small group of low level millionaires, with strong links to CSR organisations. They are the exception:

A nice CSR front to drive business for the founding members.

You seem to have wet yourself. But offer no credible suggestion it's not accurate. I provided more than one source.

If its not a concern - why is Reeves considering a change of policy?
 
Anti-tax campaigners admit their data is made up.

A widely cited report on millionaires leaving Britain has been criticised for making unsubstantiated claims, as its author admitted the study for years wrongly claimed to record property wealth.

New World Wealth (NWW) produces an annual estimate of the global number of rich individuals, along with figures for millionaires who have migrated to other countries.

This year’s report estimated 16,500 millionaires would leave the UK, on top of an outflow of 9,500 in 2024 — departures that critics have blamed on chancellor Rachel Reeves’ first Budget, which abolished the non-dom regime and imposed inheritance tax on more estates.

But the lack of official, credible data relating to the effects of the 2024 Budget on the UK’s wealthy population has fuelled political and economic arguments.

Andrew Amoils, the founder and sole employee of South Africa-based NWW, told the Financial Times there was “just a lack of information around and we’ve tried to fill the gap as best we could” on the migration of rich individuals.

“The fact that it’s been so heavily linked to non-doms is a little unfortunate because, to be honest, we don’t know whether someone is a non-dom or not,” he added."

"Amoils’ Wealth Migration Reports are published in association with Henley & Partners, a London-based consultancy that markets schemes selling passports and residency permits in more than 40 countries.

The report has come under fire from Dan Neidle, founder of the Tax Policy Associates think-tank, who said that “until an independent audit is carried out, the Wealth Migration Report should be treated as marketing material, not evidence.

”Neidle noted that the report relied heavily on LinkedIn data, which was “not reliable” for finding someone’s tax residence, as opposed to the location where they were working.He also pointed out that a 2025 NWW report’s definition of “private wealth” included bonds, gold and crypto holdings but not property, unlike previous editions.

This change should have led to a sharp drop in the number of dollar millionaires reported if their property was now excluded, Neidle said. Instead the 2025 report showed an increase."
 
"Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at Oxford university, also said the figures were “not reliable” because they were extrapolated from a sample of rich workers on LinkedIn and “assum[ed] all the UK’s millionaires behave in the same way . . . This is unlikely to be true.”
