Capital Flight: Record Number of Millionaires Set to Flee Britain Amid Looming Labour Tax Raids
Breitbart ^ | 09/09/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Nearly ten thousand millionaires are predicted to flee the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom this year amid expected tax raids from the left-wing Labour Party government of Sir Keir Starmer.

While the previous Tory government of Rishi Sunak ushered in the highest tax burden since the Second World War, in large part to pay for the debts accrued during the coronavirus lockdowns, it is widely predicted that the fall budget of the Labour government will see further money grabs by the British state, with likely targets including capital gains and inheritance taxes.

According to a report from The Times of London, a firm which helps wealthy people relocate abroad said that in August — the month after Prime Minsiter Starmer came to power — they had seen a 69 per cent increase in inquiries from wealthier people seeking to leave the UK.

“The wealthy today don’t have a country,” Reaz H. Jafri, a partner at Withers Worldwide, which helps affluent clients relocate around the world, told The New York Times in 2017. “They don’t view their success as being related or dependent on a single country, but on their own business strategies. It’s amazing to me how many of the very wealthy are going totally mobile.”

The Tory party broke every promise to their. Others and the native population and they deserve to die as a party. Labor, and Starmer in particular, needs to be shitcanned as well for being evil marxist totalitarians.

The Lennons invested nearly $3 million in cattle in the mid-70’s and claimed substantial write-off’s. The IRS viewed the operation as a tax shelter.

The problem is that there is no real alternative in Britain. Labor is ramping up the confiscatory, Socialist crazy by 1000%, but the prior, long-lived “Conservative” government set the stage.

You had to know the UK was dead when that slob Boris Johnson was getting sh!t-faced on the taxpayers’ dime while imposing draconian lockdowns on people and business establishments.

I’m not even sure anyone will be left to mourn its demise when that faded country finally gives up the ghost.

Interesting. So they would know where the safe havens are while they destroy everything else.

Rogers’ focus/expertise is on investing in international opportunities in developed and frontier markets. Similar to Mark Mobius who specializes in foreign investments and lives abroad (he renounced his U.S. citizenship and lives in Germany). Even in their 80’s these guys spend much of their time abroad and have colleagues all over the world, so no surprise that they live abroad. To what extent that’s a personal versus a financial decision, who knows?
