Reform will ensure non-doms contribute to Britain

It should come as no surprise that, over the past few decades, many of the UK's most successful and influential business minds have left the country in droves – a clear and troubling sign of national decline. Over the past 10 years, UK policy toward non-domiciled taxpayers ('non-doms') has lurched from piecemeal tightening under successive Conservative chancellors to outright abolition under the current Labour Government. The result? A record-breaking and alarming exodus of high-spending, high-tax-paying residents, leaving an estimated £7 billion yearly hole in public finances and inflicting huge collateral damage on London's position as Europe's financial centre. The social contract between the rich and the poor is at an all-time low. Public trust in the tax system has been eroded by perceptions that elites play by a different set of rules. In the past, your average Briton saw little to no benefit from the wealthy in their midst. If anything, it created greater division and hostility. Reform UK is determined to change this. We are the party of working people – the party of those with alarm clocks who get up in the morning and work hard, whether they're at the higher end of the financial scale or the lower end. Our approach is different, transparent, and designed to directly benefit the hard-working backbone of this nation. Unlike the opaque financial mechanisms of the past, where wealth seemed to vanish into hidden pots of money that ordinary people could not see, Reform UK is committed to doing things differently. We will rebuild the social contract by ensuring that every wealthy individual who wishes to move here makes a tangible contribution to Britain's lowest earners. Our policy is simple: Britain must be a place where success is celebrated, not punished with excessive taxes, crippling energy costs, or punitive inheritance levies. We will actively encourage the return of wealth and talent to the United Kingdom – on the clear condition that those who come here deliver immediate, visible benefits to our workers. Here's how it works: every high-net-worth newcomer (or returning leaver) will pay a £250,000 one-off entry contribution in return for a stable, indefinite remittance-style regime on offshore income and a 20-year inheritance-tax shield. Crucially, 100 per cent of this contribution is hypothecated to Britain's lowest-paid full-time workers, delivered automatically by HMRC as a tax-free cash dividend. This means roughly 2.5 million hard-working Britons – the grafters who keep this country running – will receive an annual cash bonus, sent directly to their bank accounts at the end of the financial year. Thanks to this policy, in a low-uptake scenario with 6,000 cards issued annually, we'll generate a £1.5 billion fund, resulting in a tax-free annual dividend of £600 per worker. In a high-uptake scenario with 10,000 cards, this could deliver a £2.5 billion fund, providing £1,000 per worker. This isn't just a number. It's money in the pockets of those who need it most, from cleaners to nurses to small-business owners. Our policy is not a 'golden visa' or a backdoor to citizenship. It is a one-time flat tax paid by newcomers in exchange for the certainty of a favourable tax status. Individuals will still be liable for all standard UK taxes on UK-sourced income, property, and spending. But they won't be taxed on offshore income and gains for the duration of their agreed status. Pay your quarter million pounds upfront, and enjoy UK residency without worldwide taxation hassles. After all, this is still the best country in the world, and many of the world's wealthy want to move here but are deterred by the economic downsides. Unlike the old, indefinite non-dom arrangement under the Tories, which lacked transparency and failed to benefit ordinary people, our solution is immediate, visible, and mutually beneficial for both newcomers and the hard-working British worker struggling to make ends meet. Unlike Labour's punitive approach, which drives wealth away, we incentivise the rich to return to Britain. Over the past decade, the number of non-dom taxpayers has plummeted from over 120,000 to fewer than 80,000. The failed approaches of both Labour and the Conservatives have cost this country billions annually. Reform UK's plan will reverse this trend, capturing revenue from global wealth, channelling funds to support the working class, and restoring London as a global powerhouse for business, finance, and investment. The driving ambition of Reform UK is to put the lives of everyday British citizens first – and this policy does exactly that. We are the party of working people, and we are building a Britain where wealth and opportunity are shared, not hoarded. By ensuring that every pound contributed by the wealthy goes directly to those who get up early and work hard, we are creating a fairer, stronger, and more prosperous nation for all.

Farage plans to charge non-doms £250,000 fee which will be given to poor

Reform UK would reinstate non-dom status for wealthy individuals for a £250,000 fee which would be given to Britain's poorest workers, Nigel Farage has announced. On Monday, the party leader and MP for Clacton will reveal the policy which he said would 'encourage the return of wealth and talent to the United Kingdom', according to the Telegraph. The Labour Government abolished the non-dom tax status in April, which is where UK residents whose permanent home or domicile for tax purposes is outside the UK. Last year, former Conservative chancellor Jeremy Hunt revealed plans to scrap the tax status before successor Rachel Reeves sped up the process. Reform UK's policy would mean 'every high-net-worth newcoming (or returning leaver)' would pay a £250,000 one-off fee 'in return for a stable, indefinite remittance-style regime on offshore income and a 20-year inheritance-tax shield', Mr Farage wrote in an article for the Telegraph. All of this fee would be given to Britain's lowest-paid full-time workers through an automatic tax-free dividend via HMRC, the party leader added. In response, Labour said the policy was a 'golden ticket for foreign billionaires to avoid the tax they owe in this country'. Mr Farage wrote: 'Our policy is simple – Britain must be a place where success is celebrated, not punished with excessive taxes, crippling energy costs, or punitive inheritance levies. 'We will actively encourage the return of wealth and talent to the United Kingdom, on the clear condition that those who come here deliver immediate, visible benefits to our workers.' The plan would mean around 2.5 million 'hard-working Britons' would receive an 'annual cash bonus', the Reform UK leader claimed. He added: 'Our policy is not a 'golden visa' or a backdoor to citizenship. 'It is a one-time flat tax paid by newcomers in exchange for the certainty of a favourable tax status. 'Individuals will still be liable for all standard UK taxes on UK-sourced income, property and spending. 'But they won't be taxed on offshore income and gains for the duration of their agreed status.' A Labour spokesperson said: 'Nigel Farage can brand this whatever he wants – the reality is his first proper policy is a golden ticket for foreign billionaires to avoid the tax they owe in this country. 'As ever with Reform, the devil is in the detail. 'This giveaway would reduce revenues raised from the rich that would have to be made up elsewhere – through tax hikes on working families or through Farage's promise to charge them to use the NHS.'

Predictions of £40bn hit to public finances from Brexit ‘correct'

Brexit has blown a £40 billion tax hole in the public finances, according to a forecasting audit that finds that the Office for Budget Responsibility's projections on the impact of leaving the EU have broadly materialised. On the ninth anniversary of the leave vote, the OBR's estimate of a 4 per cent loss in the UK's long-run productivity has been borne out by declining investment and trade volumes, according to John Springford, an associate fellow at the Centre for European Reform. The 4 per cent productivity loss translates to an approximate £40 billion tax loss for the exchequer between 2019 and 2024, a period in which the government raised taxes by £100 billion. 'A large chunk of [the tax rises] would not have been necessary if the UK had voted to remain in the EU or chosen a softer form of Brexit,' Springford said. • Britons may not have right to use e-gates in Europe this ­summer The figures underscore the growth and fiscal implications of leaving the EU at a time when the government is desperate to revive productivity and repair the public finances. In May this year Labour agreed a deal with Brussels to align UK food regulations with the bloc — a breakthrough that will have limited economic effects but could signal the path to closer regulatory alignment that will make trade in goods and services easier for UK firms. The OBR's estimate, which has been criticised by pro-Brexit economists, was derived from an average of independent forecasters' whose calculations ranged from a productivity hit of about 1 per cent to 10 per cent. The watchdog said the full impact of leaving the EU would be felt over the course of 15 years and estimated a drop of 15 per cent in trade volumes, compared with if the UK had stayed in the bloc. Springford, whose findings were published by the Constitution Society and the Federal Trust, tested the OBR's projections and found the consensus view 'has been borne out'. Springford has also devised a method to calculate the impact of Brexit, which compares the UK's economic outcomes with similar economies since 2016, and found a growth impact of around 5 per cent of GDP, similar to the OBR's figure. Springford said it was 'undeniable' that Brexit had hurt the UK's economic growth prospects and its trade volumes. 'The question is about the magnitude of the effect and we remain a little in the dark because it is incredibly difficult to isolate the Brexit effect,' he said, citing factors such as the pandemic, which complicate how to judge whether trade and investment was lower simply as a result of the UK leaving the single market and customs union. The leave vote in June 2016 led to a prolonged period of negotiation about the UK's new economic and trade relationship with the EU. Britain formally exited the bloc in January 2020, with a trade and co-operation agreement that included a zero tariff on most goods but British businesses lost access to the single market and the UK was no longer part of the EU's trade deals with the rest of the world. • UK economy contracts by greater-than-expected 0.3% The research found that the Brexit effect was most clear in the 'unambiguous stagnation in investment since 2016.' Estimates from Springford and economists including Jonathan Haskel, a former Bank of England rate-setter, calculate an investment gap of 10 per cent if the UK had stayed in the EU. Sectors where the Brexit impact was most pronounced include the auto industry, where the share of exports made up by cars has dropped more sharply than in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the US since 2019. Exports of financial services, which have grown since Brexit, haven't expanded as fast as peer economies after 2020, when UK-based firms lost their access to the single market.
