[QUOTE=TopBunk;2969761]Being a UK tax payer (albeit mightily peed off by G Brown et al), I have to say that tha US tax regime has some benefits; viz. all US citizens are subject to US tax on all income.
I think the same should apply to the UK - it might at least reduce my tax bill!
A lot of people USE the tax rules to escape paying tax ANYWHERE, to me that is at best opportunistic and immoral, if they paid FULL tax somewhere I wouldn't object as much.QUOTE]
Topbunk...
So having worked B
dy hard, paid my taxes while resident and now having got off my ar$e to be non-resident and living with the family in a (supposedly) tax free country.....
You want me to pay tax for you and all the 'opportunistic and immoral' damn scroungers who are pouring into the UK
Why? What possible justification can you put up for that?
We pay national insurance, just in case we use the NHS during the few weeks we spend in-country.
We pay tax on any income over the personal allowance.
So why the H£LL should I pay any more for services and utilities I don't use
By all means, get the Monaco millionaires, but they are not 'all the citizens'.
