Miliband's policy to abolish "non-dom" status?


A "non-dom" is defined as a British resident who pays tax on their UK earnings but whose permanent home is deemed to be outside of the UK and therefore does not have to pay tax on their foreign income as long as they do not transfer that income to the UK.

It has been proposed this week that "non-dom" status should be abolished. This would mean that no new people would be granted "non-dom" status from April 2016, while existing "non-doms" would have a "short period" to adjust their tax affairs.

Supporters of the proposal want to replace it with a clear principle that everyone "permanently resident in the UK will pay tax in the same way" whereas opponents say that the proposal could end up costing Britain money as "there will be some people who then leave the country."

  1. The election is Labours to lose. Keep up the pressure Ed. The SNP are a party of gamble with the Scottish people. The Conservatives can only offer scraps if they can keep their promises. There record is not good.

    1. Since the SNP has been in government for one and a half parliamentary terms, I can't see how you come to the view that a vote for the SNP is a gamble. THey have a proven track record. If people don't think that record is good, they won't vote for them. On the other hand, if they believe that SLab has a good record and can be trusted finally to deliver what they have promise election after election, then they will vote for SLab. It's as simple as that.
