Despite the fact the tool pulls from the governments official data. Nice.

He’s not going to shag you mate

Stop moving the goalposts and answer. £2.5-£4.5billion annually is now being lost, because of the changes. Historical churn has risen from 4% on average, to 12-16% this year How does the void get filled?

Fair play for trying, but its difficult to explain things to a rock

What were those tax receipts prior to the non-dom tax rules though?

Estimated losses: £1.5-2.5billion per year in direct losses. Low estimate. £1-2bn in CGT SDLT losses: £400-500mil VAT: £300-600mil Just from these departures, not even factoring in the exponential curve of wealthy people leaving as the country declines I ask again, how, in your fantasy land where wealth doesn’t matter, do you intend to fill this void?

No, just pointing out how matters ocurring in this country are potentially impacting negatively a large foreign investment. Whether it be the Man City situation, or some other political decision, should this country be effectively blackmailed by foreigners ?

Again, where is the billions in tax revenue? I've asked but you've given nothing apart from something about non-doms (and that's for non-dom tax which was introduced by Labour) - and not all of them are billionaires (very few looking at the average tax bill). For this to be a loss, you have to compare pre-non-dom tax to what is lost when they leave, so nothing to nothing.

Sure, pal. Tell me - if £100bns in capital and billions in tax revenues are upping sticks, how will the goverment continue to fund their relentless expansion of the welfare state? You obviously don’t see it as an issue at all, so how do you intend to fill the void?

I’m pretty sure Ineos are soon to close the Grangemouth plant and relocate it to Monaco. Subject to planning permission

You carry on buddy - everybody is sat back, reading your posts, grimacing.

Are you really trying to equate punishing fraud with a punishingly high tax regime?

But, but, Soshul Mejia says.....

LOL. Man who thinks billionaires “don’t pay any taxes” trying to pretend he has won a debate. Not a serious person at all.

Do you include the threat from the UAE to withdraw investment if Man City are punished for their multiple wrongdoings ?

You are clearly way out of your depth here. If I were you I'd go away, do some actual research, and come back with a better formed argument so we can debate this properly. You're embarrassing yourself.

The wider point I was making is that the UK is increasingly seen as hostile to businesses and entrepreneurs. If you don’t think these people leaving is a disaster for the country, then you’re not a serious person. Which you obviously aren’t.

Junction 9 of M3 is closed again this weekend. Going to be some mighty impressive bridge/slip-road when it's all done! 😆

Gotcha. So esentially we're talking about tax tourists going on tour.

I play the Roma Surrectum user written expansion mod. I also indulge in Civilisation VI; I found it mildly amusing to win a "Diplomatic Victory" as Genghis Khan.

Somehow I hadn't seen this - it's a good one

The issue is the example he gave had people who's businesses were overseas, so it could only be income that they were taxed on.

Delusions of grandeur one thinks 😂

Quite. People are conflating the individuals and any trading entities. Entirely different things.

No, it doesn't, as wealth is very difficult to just "move". These aren't salaried individuals.
