Ed Miliband’s most senior adviser pays no tax on his reported £300,000 earnings in Britain, The Telegraph has learned.
David Axelrod, a former adviser to Barack Obama, admitted that he is not resident for tax purposes in the UK.
Labour confirmed it pays Mr. Axelrod in dollars through his consultancy and that he “lives in the US, works in the US and pays taxes in the US”.
While it is unclear how much tax Mr. Axelrod will pay in the US, the rates of tax for companies are often significantly lower than for individuals.
The admission comes after Ed Miliband put a crackdown on foreigners who pay lower rates of tax at the heart of his election manifesto. …

Truth be told, he probably hasn’t paid taxes here either for at least 10 years, right Harry Reid?
So Axelrod helps the Labourites while the “Conservative” David Cameron comes to our country to help Obama in his fight with the Senate over Iran.
Conservative and Labour in the UK are like Republicans and Democrats in this country, a Uniparty subordinate to business elites that want a world economy without sovereign national borders getting in the way. Cheap labor from Eastern Europe has flooded the UK because of EU membership.
Nigel Farage of UKIP is firmly committed to getting the UK out of the EU so immigration can be controlled once and for all.
That seems to be the only thing that got Obama elected in 2008. It wasn't based on policies or accomplishments.
Ed's past proves he CAN'T be trusted
...In Ed’s case, the ploy backfired. For the delightful Justine let slip that her husband is the sort of man who would dissemble and deceive a young woman at a dinner party, hedging his bets in the hope of personal advantage. The sort of man, in other words, who would rip his family apart out of ruthless ambition.The fact is, Ed did stab his brother in the back to become Labour leader, causing unimaginable distress not just to his sibling but to his elderly mother — and damaging his party.
For David was vastly better qualified to become leader, and more popular with everyone bar the union barons. Few doubt that had he not been stitched up by Ed, David would now be leading his party to a secure victory at the polls, instead of the sordid backroom deal with the SNP that remains Ed’s best hope of becoming PM.
Putting your personal ambition before your family or your party? That’s the politics of the gutter, Mr Miliband.
David Cameron's election bribes will cost EVERY family £1,493
David Cameron’s desperate bid to woo voters with a massive spending spree will be paid for with yet another assault on the poor, Ed Balls will warn.
socialist leaders not paying taxes set for the commoners. who would have thunk it....
International ones too, interfering in domestic elections. May Axelrod generate the same (or similar) result in the UK that Obama’s lefty interlopers provoked in Israel, in that case.
