      Sometimes you can make even more money and invest in the location of your business and switching countries can make you a lot of money. For an entrepreneur switching countries can be very easy and can make you a lot of money. And also sometimes you just want to give your money to counties that welcome and like you.

    That'll kill the inflow of rich people & funding into Britain. And in the process end our place as the second best place for business start-ups.
    The strange thing is that we tried similar in the 1970s, when Labour tried to 'squeeze the rich till the pips squeaked' with tax rates upto 98%, and give unearned pay rises to favoured public sector groups. Causing the slow collapse of capital intensive industries, 15% inflation, electricity blackouts, refuse piled high in the streets, more people leaving than entering Britain, the country being labelled 'the sick man of Europe', and a humiliating IMF rescue of the economy.
    Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.

      So every country in the world has to compete at attracting rich people? And when times are tough the ordinary person has to shoulder the burden because the wealthy living in a country cannot ever be asked to pull their weight for the good of the whole country.

      @@seancidy6008 - In the UK the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all income taxes. And they pay the vast majority of capital gains tax & inheritance tax. The super rich non-doms number only 74,000 people and yet pay £9bn in tax. Meanwhile 56% of workers in the UK get more in benefits than they pay in taxes.
      The point is that we are already dangerously dependent on the rich and super-rich, which groups have the capital, skills & ability to easily move to other countries. Already record numbers are leaving, with Britain having the second highest departures in the world after China. If you were such a person, who got rich off by taking lots of financial risks to provide the enterprises, goods & services we all need, already heavily taxed for very little back in return, a better question is why you should accept such a burden?

I mean in the UK at least you have some healthcare in the US they force you to buy private insurance at 3x the cost of anywhere else on earth and still tax you at rates higher than or equal to the UK, then let you go bankrupt if you get sick, all while sending money to Israel, the Ukraine, and you Europeans in the form of subsidizing your defense.

    Australia is looking at introducing an exit tax like the USA. I don't see it happening in the UK yet but I imagine they will introduce it in the future as other countries follow the USA / France. At the end of the day, the UK and Australia are the 51st and 52nd states of the USA. Whatever the USA does the UK follows. So it's just a matter of time.

    If you are going to talk about taxes - or money in general - you need to be more precise. You talk quite sloppily and vaguely about the concepts you cover. Some people watching who are not rigorous will come away from this thinking they understand - but they don't. eg 1:07 you talk about income *_streams_* Do you mean that, if you resist taking dividends out of your company(s) for 5 years, you can then take them out tax-free? If so, say it like that. Calling those post-5-year withdrawals "income streams" is just confusing.

      Not sure how that works on the basis of domicile. If someone was resident in the UK but intended at some time to return to another country but had the misfortune to die beforehand, then the UK might lay claim to UK assets, but worldwide assets would be within scope of another government and whatever tax treaty is in place.
      This cuts both ways, a UK citizen retiring and perhaps dying abroad is often taxed under UK IHT rules unless they have severed ties and updated their domicile which is quite a high bar, particularly if property, business and investment is involved
