Prime Minister Jeremy Hunt announced in the spring budget that the government intends to abolish the ‘non-residency’ system. The scheme has allowed billionaire Basim Haidar and 68,800 other non-residents to avoid paying UK tax on their overseas income. For the past 225 years. It is expected to raise £2.7bn a year.
The Guardian’s wealth correspondent said: rupert neet To tell hannah moore Regarding an interview about Haidar’s decision to leave Britain due to the end of the non-Dom regime. From next year, he will only be able to avoid tax during his first four years of residence in the UK, compared to his previous 15-year threshold.
Haidar has formed a working group of 29 non-Dom countries planning to leave the UK by September, mainly due to “punitive” tax changes. Mr Haidar believes ending this hiatus would be self-defeating as total UK tax revenue would fall amid an exodus of the super-rich.
