Whoa - IR20 again

IIRC, the case you mentioned was for someone who had stayed out of the UK and didnt reside here for more than the statutory 90 or 91 days. This has previously satisfied the non dom criteria. However, it now appears HMRC and the courts have interpreted legislation differently and claim that since he has a property here, he's not non dom ergo, change in interpretation to suit HMRC.

No, it never did.

There are more criteria than that, for example having cut your ties with the UK, and he never did satisfy that one.

What happened was not retrospective legislation, it was just him being told that he was wrong when he thought he had got away with it.

Moral: decide whether you have a connection with Britain or not. If yes, pay British taxes. If no, make sure you behave accordingly.

I wonder if that plane crash in Austin is a tax protest too?

Bloomberg are saying that the building is home to the septic Hectors.

His note puts the IRS at the front line of his issues but there is more to it than that like big business driving down contractors' pay.
