Makes sense – most of them who would leave probably already have enough rea$ons to do so.
That said, the richest “1% by income or assets” aren’t the super-rich – they’re a tiny minority, sure, but the real asset concentration is in a fraction of 1%. The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is a billion dollars.
If you can spend ~90 days per year in the UK and fly in and out by private jet, you can get a lot of culture without paying a lot of tax.
The survey also seems very London-centric – i.e., finding people who pay a premium to live in London and then asking them if they like London…
I suppose that will stop them storing their money there, it’s not like they could travel or spend long periods of time away those boring tax havens
They asked 35 people that earn over 180k
There is absolutely nothing noteworthy here
At this rate, they will be taking over countries soon enough to spice up life, after all what’s the point of being so rich if you cant have it all your own way??
I mean have you seen all the middle eastern people with supercars laughing it up in our poor cities.
Rich people love rubbing it in our faces, how would they do that away from us.
Sorry this article is horseshit. Are the super rich bored in Monaco or Dubai or Singapore? No. If I was a multimillionaire, why would I want to be in rainy London instead of one of those places with a sunny beach paying less tax?
The point of this article is to say you can the rich without them wanting to leave. Which is patently false.
Edit: despite the downvotes, you know Im right.
You don’t need to Live in a Tax Haven to use the Services provided…
Guys the UK is a tax haven that’s why nothing works
Folk going “but if you tax the rich they’ll leave” is so moronic and I’m glad it’s being addressed.
The rich are here now. Not dubai, not the caymans, here.
Going from paying a tiny amount of tax to a small amount of tax isn’t gonna change that, they’ve got comfortable lives here and whilst they’ll complain about paying more tax, the amount needed to make people leave is gonna have to approach the policies of chairman Mao.
Cause If your worth 100m your not gonna want to give up your life for a few %.
Only their money has to stay on boring places.
When you have a private jet there are plenty of interesting places to visit, you can live 89 days in any other country and then move to the next…
