If the high earners would just be honest and say they don't want to put money back into the country when they've made it big then people would probably agree with them, much like Rod Stewart did back in the 70s when tax was 97% at the high end.
Obviously no-one likes paying tax but when you get to that level of earning power you're not really going to miss a few extra £k. Most sportsmen request their fee net of tax so they are paid the extra on top to take care of it. Some, like Hamilton, try to make more money out of the deal by paying less tax.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThere's no earthly reason why he SHOULD pay tax in a country he doesn't live in, that's absurd. Claiming he saves money by living in Monaco, where everything costs 3X as much, is plain dumb.
He saves a lot of money by living there, and that is his primary reason for being there. However, I don't blame him for that, and he has made a choice which is legal, so no grief for me.
If the politician thinks that it is not fair, they can bring in a legislation, but I doubt that is going to happen in near future.Comment

Yeah, the only reason to live in Monaco is to save tax. The fact his house probably costs more than the tax he saves aside, have you ever even seen Monaco? Or have any idea why an F1 driver might want to live in a town where their daily errands mean walking along the most iconic racing track in the world?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
