You're not working people

Moving abroad is starting to look very appealing, it's a shame that the statutory residence test got changed to ensure you still pay tax if you have the slightest link(s) or sufficient ties to the UK.

It's not that bad yet.

And anyway, you can always renounce your British citizenship. I have Swiss and British passports. I travel on the Swiss ones. Even coming to the UK.

You're supposed to cross the UK Border on the British passport, are you not?

[WTFH]

No, you can use whatever passport you are permitted to carry, but it is recommended that if you are flying between countries, you use the same passport to leave one country that you use to arrive in the other.

Its a subject we all perhaps need to learn more about. There are zero benefits to living here and the negatives get bigger everyday, and will no doubt become huge on Wednesday.

Don't the double taxation rules mean you are only taxed on your income in the country you were resident in?

Also would it be so bad to sever ties completely? Not much point being tied to a corpse is there? It will only drag you down.

You will retain your entitlement to state pension. Though I know this is more complicated in that some countries it will continue to increase (triple lock increases) as it does here, in others it is frozen at time you left. Thailand is frozen for example, and America it continues to increase.

I think the freelance market will be paying £800m or so in extra tax with the NI change alone..

It's definitely something I am looking into, I can't see things getting any better under Liebour, Rachel Theeves has no clue and seems to be listening to OBR and they're not the most accurate and generally have to revise all their data because of their inaccurate forecasting. We're too easy a target and have been for a while, any attempt at making something of yourself is seen as negative in the UK.

Many of the brave and determined either left for better lives in the colonies, or died in the WW brother wars. We are the mostly the descendants of those who kept their head down and who stayed.

Oh look. Along comes one of the corpses!! You voted to destroy our country by all accounts, why act surprised people don't want to live a life of misery? Own it.

And I thought you wanted people to leave who didn't like it? Like it or leave, that's your creed isn't it?

I am forced to work through an umbrella company by most of my employers, which usually charge about 100 a month to invoice the employer and pay me via PAYE. I already pay a tax rate of 55.8% (40% tax rate + 2% employee NI + 13.8% employer NI) to 60.8% (45% rate), now this horrific government propose that I'm not 'a working person', and that i have 'broad shoulders' and that it should be 57.8 - 62.8% tax rate.

I can't really be bothered any more - Once a govt starts taking more than half your wage, there isn't a ton of incentive to take a stressful contract...
