    Super rich tax dodging non-doms biggest party donors

    http://money.guardian.co.uk/tax/inco...186155,00.html

    Do you support the non-doms? Should those living here have to pay some tax, or do you think "good on em, I wish I could legally avoid tax."

    Anyone here a registered non-dom that avoids tax on their contracting income be using an offshore company for invoicing UK clients?

      Great idea! Is the Isle of Man the best place to do this?

          I support them. Good on 'em.

          It's a bit of a misnomer really there's no such thing as a non-dom, only a somewhere-else dom. So the somewhere-else would just tax the contracting income instead.

          Funny commie newspaper complaining the "rocketing" number of non-doms is caused by greedy tax dodgers and nothing to do with Labour opening the immigration floodgates. Could it be possible that there are more non-doms because more people in Britain from overseas? doh.

          I am interested in buying a house without paying stamp duty though, so I'd be grateful if someone can post details of that.

            ahhh. One way to do it is to have the seller agree on a sale £1 less than the threshold...and you mortgage that amount. then you give the remainder of the "sale price" in cash to the seller. But this only works when you have a lot of cash on hand.

              I think it's more like you set up an overseas trust to own the house. Similar to your solution but without the jail time. Thanks anyway.

                Wow, you sound like a financial genius.

                The non-doms have a simpler means. Tick one box on your tax return (I am a non-dom) and stop paying tax. Beat that.

                  It's simpler than that - don't have any taxable income in the UK in the first place, then you won't need to furnish a return at all!!

                    Unless you are domiciled here. Where upon ALL income, UK or worldwide is taxable.

                    So I assume you don't live in the UK at all?
