The Telegraph reported:
"This ruling will affect many so-called 'Monaco millionaires' who fly into London every Monday morning and then go home every Wenesday evening.
"Before the Special Commissioners' decision, that only counted as one day's residence in the UK. So they could work 50 three-day weeks a year and only be regarded as having spent 50 days here.
" Now the number of nights spent here will be counted, so they will be deemed to have spent 100 days in the UK...etc, etc.
Looks like a bit of a change to me.
