Does anybody here take the Greens seriously?

I didn't mean "most" in terms of people, I meant most in terms of £


Oh so that's OK then.

Er... yes?

True. I think many people would feel that if you have citizenship of a country that you should pay your fair share of tax rather than moving to Monaco.

I have Irish and UK citizenship by dint of my mother being born in Ireland. I have never lived there. Should I be paying Irish tax as well as UK tax?
My son has UK, Irish and australian citizenships. He lived and worked in Australia for 9 months. Should he pay tax to all 3 countries?

Yes. You pay tax on your income when making money in that country.

You answer doesn't make it clear whether, in your view, I should be paying tax in 2 countries and my son in 3.
However, you have highlighted something

The offshore held investments may not be making money in the UK......................
They are making money in a country that has a more favourable tax status than the UK, and are being taxed according to the rules of that country.

You should pay tax on the income derived in that country not from overseas income, especially if that overseas money remains offshore.

USA I understand now offer that arrangement for those who purchase the million dollar visas
