sarah737, and the rest of you who are clinging to vague hope that keeping your head down and praying will allow things to continue as they were; it won't help! This never was a so called 'loophole'. The general rule has been in place for many years now. That rule is that if you live and work in one country, you will not be taxed in another. The treaties enacted by the OECD did not ever envisage people avoiding tax by simply moving to another country, being classed as non-resident for tax purposes, getting a job and not paying tax. We are all obliged to pay tax if we live and work in the OECD and you are not exempt just because easyjet is based in the UK or RYR in Ireland and you work in Germany etc.
There are no loopholes, there never were any.
Face it and pay up like the rest of us do!
