    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.
    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?


          Is this one of us: (Telegraph comment today)

          Backpacker Global1 hr ago

          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...

              Sorry to confuse your limited intellect. I was referring to the idle and foolish who voted Labour.

                  In this case you are totally incorrect.

                  https://www.parliament.uk/business/p...ce/the-fallen/

                  Only 6% of Adult males died in WWI. Plenty came back many shell-shocked but fertile.

                  Far fewer died in WWII despite the blitz - in my case both of my Grandfathers that were significant contributors to the war effort were alive when I was born.

                  One grandfather even managed to produce offspring before the war. I suspect being shipped out to war increased marriages and impregnations.

                      Stop threatening us all with a good time and leave already.
