Just how many of the super-rich are fleeing the UK over tax hikes?
Newsletter issue – August 2025
Concerns over Chancellor Rachel Reeves' tax policy shift, scrapping tax benefits for non-domiciled residents (non-doms), has prompted concern amongst high earners. Legal experts warn that UK-based wealthy individuals - not just non-doms - are now considering leaving the UK to reduce their tax liabilities.
Some believe the policy change could cost the Treasury up to £12.2 billion by 2030, despite increased scrutiny from HMRC, especially around statutory residence tests and claims of full-time overseas work, to ensure the correct amount of tax is collected.
However, claims of a mass exodus of UK millionaires due to tax fears are not supported by solid evidence. Reports by Henley & Partners have been misrepresented in the media; they didn't attribute high earners leaving to Labour's tax proposals. Also, migration rates of millionaires have consistently been less than 1% annually since 2013.
Tax Justice UK states that the exodus of billionaires is even less. It believes the 'scare stories' are distracting from the real debate on wealth taxation and economic fairness.
We may never know the true numbers or impact as HMRC has recently admitted that it doesn't know how much tax it receives from billionaires or how many of them even pay tax in the UK.
What our clients say about us...
"Paul has provided accountancy services to my company for 2 years now. I can recommend Paul very highly; his skills as an accountant are highly detailed and professional and he is always available to provide advice. One aspect of the way Paul works that I greatly appreciate is a preference to meet face to face when there is a detailed conversation to be had. I personally find this more productive and is a benefit of working with a small accountancy firm that you wouldn't get with the large faceless providers."

"Paul was a referral from a family member when I started my business 2 years ago. As this was the first time I had ever run my own company I was totally clueless over the financial side of matters and was worried that I may have made mistakes in any of my accounting. I needn't have worried as after enaging Paul for a set monthly fee he was always there on the end of the phone for all sorts of questions I had and no matter how trivial they were Paul gave me all the information I required and more and did an excellent and painless job at the end of my first year! Couldn't ask for any better to be honest. Just two words - hire him!!!"
