Jackie Stewart, Stirling Moss, Lewis Hamilton.

If you want your kids to be great drivers, give them a Scottish name.

Why would you live in the UK if you can live somewhere nice with mountains and lakes in between working around the world?

Have you ever been to Hamilton?

[SueEllen]

Exactly - he deserves Knighthood far more than chunt Hamilton who should have had far higher rate of tax on any UK earnings for his decision to fook off to Monaco.

Oooh I'm guessing you are also one of those people who think "All lives matter", you probably voted for Brexit and think Trump was robbed and you also think the covid lockdowns are illegal and an anti-vaxer as well.

How many of those have I got right?

You forgot 5G.

He fecked off to Switzerland for tax reasons as soon as he made it big...

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Of course I may be biased.

Mind you I suppose I'm not called Mauritius Mogadishu.

Lewis Hamilton would piss his skegs even going near Hamilton.

Hamilton Mausoleum is the most echoic building in the world.

I believe Hamilton has the most occurrences as undergraduate names from Oxbridge.

Except he's an Austrian...

Not enough for Honours which I believe supposed to take tax issues seriously.

It's not like he was born in Monaco and that's his home - he FECKED OFF from UK as soon as he started earning serious money, if anything that should disqualify him from any honours because such behavior should not be rewarded.

95% of his wins are because of of Mercedes product - their F1 operation chief deserves knighthood far more than Hamilton.

Except he's an Austrian...

I should give it up. You're just getting silly now.

[AtW]

Whole he sure as hell doesn't pay any tax to Monaco (that state is funded primarily by 20% VAT on everything), he still makes a positive contribution in the UK

It would be fun to publish a list of people who would have got honours if they weren’t tax dodgers.

He is not UK tax resident, as simple as that.

Yes he pays some UK tax (because he could not dodge it!), but so are the sheiks who shop in Harrods.

[malvolio]

He changed his tax residency from Switzerland back to UK?

Thought not.

He probably pays some tax that he can't avoid due to him performing in the UK, but that would cover all world class performers which does not make them UK taxpayers.

Whole he sure as hell doesn't pay any tax to Monaco (that state is funded primarily by 20% VAT on everything), he still makes a positive contribution in the UK, not counting making Mercedes a seriously successful business with 90% of their employees, including a fair chunk of Mr H's time, working in the UK.

Still, keep on bitching if you makes you happy. Just try a little bit of research next time.

I always find it fairly surprising how much of an idiot you are, and you choose bizarre hills to go all in on with your idiocy.

It may surprise you but I don't find your point of view surpsing at all.

[minestrone]

So he just pays the tax all other big performers (like music bands) pay when they come into UK to perform - that does NOT make them and him proper UK taxpayers (as in resident here and paying taxes on all world-wide income).

It's completely illegitimate action, but what can one expect when they create Lords of Siberia now

Tax residency law is pretty clear, and fair, and internationally agreed.
