I'm confused, he explicitly called out the loss of tax receipts on £160bn of wealth, but then can't tell us how much roughly that equates to.

Most of their businesses aren't based in the UK though - so they're not creating anything here.

How much tax are we losing per year from these individuals? What would you propose to make them stay?

Because they don't want to pay tax. So if they don't want to pay tax, how do you stop them? And what's the point if we offer them 0% tax?

Exact public figures for the total cumulative tax paid in the UK by steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal and his family are not publicly available. Key facts regarding his UK tax status and contributions include: Non-Dom Status: For most of his nearly 30-year residency in London (starting in 1995), Lakshmi Mittal claimed non-domiciled (non-dom) status. Remittance-Based Tax: Under the historical non-dom rules, he paid UK taxes on income and capital earned inside the UK, plus a fixed annual remittance charge (historically ranging from £30,000 to £60,000 depending on the length of residency). However, he was legally exempt from paying UK tax on his massive global income and overseas dividends—such as a reported £393.9 million dividend from ArcelorMittal in 2012. So with this in mind, how much are we actually losing?

Quick question, how many are from the UK, and how many have moved to countries where they pay any taxes? IE Would they only stay if they paid next to no or no taxes. How do you compete with 0% tax? Also, how many actually paid tax here, or were they using the non-dom tax rules to avoid tax? I actually know Troels by the way (and his son), and he moved due to family reasons - if you know the tragedy in their family you wouldn't be questioning anything about their motives to move. We shouldn't be allowing the US to house their bombers here anyway.

I think the problem is that you can't criticise a party for anything racist and then support parties where the leader, multiple MPs and Councillors have been caught being racist. It smacks of virtue signalling, even though it may not be.

Ha, yep, you'll need to be quick. I would also worry about long term support for Chinese cars as well (maybe not BYD quite as much). Drive like crap as well, but that only matters if you're into cars.

Import taxes to be imposed on Chinese vehicles, to align us more with Europe ahead of closer economic relations. Good.

I wouldn't start this with Reform and Restore on the ballot.

Badum, ching.

Oof, I hate what Israel's leaders have done in Gaza, and I think they are war criminals and genocidal maniacs, but this is too far.

Sorry mate, didn't mean to scare you. I'll bear that in mind next time I use bad language.

I asked you a question. You couldn't answer it. Classic right winger.

Excellent stuff, bravo. Looks like East Stand Nic is back, and he's thicker than ever.

Eh? That's some funny logic. Prove that they have please, or forever hold your peace.

Sorry, which left-wingers have wanted continued Muslim immigration to the UK? I've never seen or heard anyone say that.

Yeah, understandably, especially with the tax trap and hammering into pensions to try to offset that. Maybe they should move out of London if they can't afford it?

Our school (and a few in our area) haven't handed that 20% down yet. We've had the usual increase.

Maybe you should cut down on the Oat Lattes, avocados and gak.

Such a favourite you can't spell it properly?

Love it at the end - pussies right out. Reminds me of a few of our angry right on this forum.

I lived between there and SF for 3 years. LA is an awful city.

Which, billionaires or working men?

I think there are a few people on this thread that need to give this song a good listen... "I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off of my stack".
