A recent study suggests that by imposing a minimum 2% charge on households with more than £100m in wealth; £10bn could be raised annually to HMRC. To stop the wealthy from jumping ship, they’d force the rich to pay the tax for at least 10 years after they quit the UK. They estimated this would affect only 1,000 households and would therefore be easier to implement. Yet the wealthy are also exceptional at hiding wealth so I don’t believe any audit would be straightforward. @phillipinman @guardian theguardian.com/business/2026/…
