Are millionaires going to leave the UK? | The Daily T Podcast 

Not the smartest move to raise taxes on those who are most able to relocate somewhere else....

A million is not what it Used to be .

Thousands have already left the UK. They may love this country but they love their money more

The ones who are bribing our MP's with gifts for favours hopefully, hope the door doesn't hit them on the way out.

Well we did. We're not wealthy in relative terms but we'd had enough of the regulatory environment for our biz (too much time spent filling in forms rather than building the topline). Then we were slapped with 25% CT in a "oner". Wr had better options, so we t9ok them, and we're genuinely very happy. We face CGT/IHT in the next 25/30 years so we decided to make the move for the long-term. There are plenty of friends etc, who want to have the conversation, but many.lack the boldness to go for it, or feel they ought to stay for their parents. Younger generation (20s) are definitely on the move - they appear to see little hope for the future (owning home, good job prospects, etc). Sample of one :)

Labour will be celebrating their departure. The fact it makes everyone left poorer make not an ounce of difference. To the comrades driving out the rich, levels out society.The fact it levels down matters not at all.

Yes, 3 left my local area for russia, switzerland and thailand since the summer alone

Looks like taxing the 'weathy' a bit more isn't going to happen. So that leaves the ordinary person and pensioners who are already struggling.

Fleeing to *where?*

Both rank tories

I'm quite happy to lose people who are willing to move to a different country simply to avoid paying their fair share of tax.

Let’s hope so!

Run rabbit run run run. How is it? Unless the government do what I say I'm leaving the country. There are vast sums of money in the bank, it is doing us all the world of good. Go! Please go! Don't come crawling back either.

Lets be clear the US wages have risen massively over the last 14 years, everyone got there fair share. The UK created record numbers of billionaires and multi millionaires whilst the wages stagnated for 14 years under the Tories. The *&*&* need to start paying.

Good riddance. If they want to go. Bon voyage. So they earn their millions on the back of their workers and because the Labour government is going to make them pay more tax on their profits, so they are threatening to leave. Let them go, and go now, but I would like to know where they would go. Do they think other European countries are going to let them exploit their workers and pay less tax . Well they should think again.
