It is that she lives in the UK, which is clearly her main residence, but pays no tax here to the benefit of her, her husband and her children. It is that the rules should be tightened but her husband is responsible for the rules and is therefore disincentivised. It is that her husband just put up NIC for all EXCEPT for non-employment related income and so is uniquely almost unaffected by his decision. It is that the Chancellor should pay the same taxes as everyone else.

FFS, try and keep up. She paid tax here on her UK income and paid a fee for doing so. That is the prevailing rule. To state she pays no tax here is not correct.

That your post has basic error is no surprise.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

It wouldn't be annoying even if someone did pick my posts apart, but as you're obviously talking about BlueJay, he picks nothing apart, he merely twists the words of others to suit his assault of opposing ideas. Even to the point of telling people how they really think.

But if you are just posting a 'Rah rah rah' rallying cry for BJ, then you are probably one of those seeking to pick my posts apart.

So much wrong with this.

She doesn't pay income tax as her income is made in another country. She has non dom status. Which is allowed.

Admittedly, she pays no NIC. But I very seriously doubt that she will be using the NHS, or trying to draw a state pension.

VAT is paid by all consumers in this country. It's really quite irrelevant where the money comes from, as long as the VAT is paid. Rishi's not claiming VAT rebates for his wife. More people spending money, more VAT in the HMRC coffers. But for some reason, you think only her husband pays it, even though they are a couple, and have kids, and shop in this country.

There will be a time when she will have to pay all her taxes in this country if she stays here, which I believe is 2028, and she will be required to become a British citizen. So if she opts to give up her Indian domicle earlier and pay UK taxes, she would have to give up her right to vote, and sell her assets and property, in India. Which is something not many people would be willing to do.

I'm thinking the same. My original post had an error and should have said 'many of us", not any of us before that gets spotted by a n other. I'm glad maple is comfortable enough to pay over 30k in tax himself. Whether he could pay more and doesn't because the rules allow him not to is a question in itself. Its surprising the receipts an accountant can use against what you should pay.
Anyhow I'm sure the chancellors wife hasn't broken any laws and once she pays a tax she doesn't have to the door will open more so extra shovels and diggers can be found.
I really want labour to get in power soon. Not because they are good but because they are sooo bad and reality will smack a few people. Share the wealth will take on a new meaning. Tax tax and even more tax.

Are you saying an NRI can’t hold property or assets in India?
