Éxodo de miles de millonarios para evadir aumentos impuestos en el RU

By Ninian Carter

September 23, 2024 - Los residentes extranjeros ricos en el Reino Unido RU, conocidos como “non-dom”, están abandonando el país por millares para evitar
las crecientes tasas fiscales del gobierno laboristas.

After the Labour Party swept to power in July, the UK is set to lose around 9,500 millionaires by the end of 2024 – the second-highest loss rate behind only China.

For rich foreign residents, also known as “non-doms”, the prospect of paying the UK’s new 40% inheritance tax on offshore wealth is a major factor in departing, as is a 20% VAT addition to private education costs, plus a soaring crime rate in Westminster, London – where many of them reside.

The UK is home to some three million millionaires, but the prospect of losing almost 10,000 economically significant individuals in just a few months has the potential to upset the government’s revenue projections for new policies.

China will lose the most millionaires in 2024, with more than 15,000 expected to leave due to the country’s faltering economy and President Xi Jinping’s general hostility towards privately owned businesses and personal wealth.
