    Yes, make sure your UK LTD has paid its taxes and submitted its returns, and that it is all up to date.

    I'd conversations few of my ex-colleagues and 95% of them want to return back to India at some stage.

    Money is tempting in new start-ups companies in Bengaluru
    Would be handy if a few more had the same idea to make room for us Brits that may have to return around the time you plan to leave.

    They should invest in sanitation and water treatment plants rather than high caste IT startups. Last year I was in Kolkata and did a trip up the Brahmaputra and although some of the scenery was magnificent the general cleanliness and pollution left much to be desired

    Hang tight. Once the EU subsidies stop farms will be cheap.

    Well done mate and welcome to the UK.

    We'll have a tough few years ahead of us but it'll be worth it in the long run!

    Esha Gupta: Has Instagram exposed everyday racism in India? - BBC News

    That changed after the actress decided to share a screengrab of a WhatsApp conversation in which a friend mocked the team's Nigerian star, Alex Iwobi, as a "gorilla" and "Neanderthal" who "evolution had stopped for"."Hahaha," wrote the actress, who helped Arsenal unveil its 2017 away kit, as she shared the screengrab with her 3.4m Instagram followers.
    The racist slurs - and the fact she thought it was funny - horrified many, and the backlash was unsurprisingly swift. How dare she call herself an Arsenal supporter, her fellow fans demanded.
    Gupta apologised quickly, but the post hints at a long-known - but little acknowledged - problem of racism towards people of African descent in Indian society.
