On the telegraph report that the erstwhile french president , Emmanuel Macron is stealing britains millionaires with the uks super rich dwindling in number as they make their way across the channel. Mel out where once britain was a world leader in attracting the super rich to our shores, punishing tax changes have sent them running for the hills more millionaires are now emigrating from the uk than arriving , from the uk than arriving, according to analysis by migration consultancy henley and partners as the country you wont believe this figure. Britain has lost 12,000 wealthy individuals since 2017. That is, those with assets and cash of more than 800 grand. 1500 rich people left in 2022. This mass exodus has not been helped by the watering down of tax benefits for people who have so called non dom status. British residents who have a permanent home abroad tax collected from these rich individuals is over £1 billion less annually than it was in 20 1718. Weve lost half a billion in National Insurance contributions from these people and 70 odd million from Capital Gains tax. We are making ourselves poorer. Meanwhile, macron is a canny politician for whom my respect grows is hoovering up these High Net Worth individuals and france are now number three in the world for having the most millionaire heirs behind china and the us. So how have they done it . Well, tax breaks for the rich left leaning politicians in france were furious with macron when he introduced radical tax reforms , introduced radical tax reforms, scrapping the contentious wealth tax on everything except property assets. He also property assets. He also introduced a 30 flat rate tax on Capital Gains dividends and interests. He has effectively halved the tax paid by the very wealthy. So it seems that these wealthy. So it seems that these rich people are not only moving to france for the croissant, its a safe place for their money. Now, why does this matter to you and me . Isnt it right to you and me . Isnt it right that the wealthiest should pay the most . Well, of course, im very sad that our world is so unequal. But i live in the real unequal. But i live in the real world too. The reality is that if you clobber wealthy people, they just go somewhere else. If they just go somewhere else. If you want to have a successful economy , its got to have economy, its got to have successful people in it. Its a simple choice. Successful people in it. Its a simple choice. You can go after simple choice. You can go after the rich, but they take their cash elsewhere. How much of a cash elsewhere. How much of a victory is it for the british people if millionaires are investing their money in singapore or dubai rather than here . For how much of a victory is it for the british people . If rich people are buying their rolls royces in paris or luxembourg rather than london or. Manchester in the end, the tax receipts that wealthy people in this country deliver and they cough up disproportionately more than the rest of us pay for the nhs. They pay for policing , they nhs. They pay for policing, they pay nhs. They pay for policing, they pay for schools and defence and all of the Public Services that we value so much. But with these punitive taxes for the wealthy, were sending a message that they are not welcome in the United Kingdom. Taxing the rich might make an attractive headline, but in the end its an act of self harm and a race to the bottom, which is why labours plans to scrap the tax breaks for non doms altogether here means more of the super wealthy jumping on eurostar wealthy jumping on the eurostar as fast as their legs can carry them. Their frogs legs. Emmanuel macron is not stupid. He understands that an economy is based on Wealth Creators and he understands the huge value that millionaire foreigners bnng that millionaire foreigners bring to his country. That millionaire foreigners bring to his country. At exactly bring to his country. At exactly the same time that were telling them to off. Its time to end them to off. Its time to end the war on the wealthy. We need their money. Were losing our way , folks, for a country that way, folks, for a country that calls itself the home of enterprise and the home of aspiration, an all of this is a bit rich. Bit rich. I must say. I do get my daily exercise dashing across that studio like that, almost like the wembley pitch. Okay, lets get reaction from yourselves. Mark at gb news dot com. What do you think . I would argue that we should absolutely look after rich people. We want them to be here because we need their cash, we need their investment and we want them spending money in london, manchester, belfast, cardiff and edinburgh, not dubai and singapore. Of course, labour would argue that the lower taxes for non doms is deeply unfair and will raise billions. So look, its all about opinions. Whats yours . Lets now get the whats yours . Lets now get the reaction of my top pundits. Tonight we have political commentator lin mei, writer Benedict Spence and academic lisa mckenzie. Lynn, what do you lisa mckenzie. Lynn, what do you think about this . I agree with everything you said, and this is what happens when you have a country that is seeming to be anti growth. You seeming to be anti growth. You know, its not ambitious. Its know, its not ambitious. Its non aspirational. You and i non aspirational. You and i wouldnt blame these people for going abroad if you think about 20 years ago, 39. 6 of taxes were paid by the 5 top 5. Now its 50. So all these people that continuously hate the rich or tax the rich more , theyre or tax the rich more, theyre paying or tax the rich more, theyre paying the majority of the taxes already. And without them, like you said, they dont have to stay here. If we continue to hate them, we drive them away. And whos pay the and whos going to pay the majority the taxes . Majority of the taxes . Thats right. Mean, well, thats right. I mean, clobbering the super rich benedict make a good benedict might make a good headline. It might make all of us better, just us feel better, but it just makes us poorer. Id be curious to know what the democrats graphics are, though. Group are these though. What age group are these super wealthy people . Because this the things that this is one of the things that we need bear in mind is as we do need to bear in mind is as wonderful britain and as wonderful as britain is and as wonderful as britain is and as wonderful london is, wonderful as london is, it is not really a place that is conducive, conducive to rather, a of lifestyle. A certain type of lifestyle. A lot of people who make a lot of money life, they decide money in later life, they decide to britain, which is its to swap britain, which is its a nice place, but it not nice place, but it is not as nice place, but it is not as nice as, say, the south of france they decide to move. France and they decide to move. Oh, wait a minute. Hold fire a second. Hold fire for a second. Hold fire for a second. They dont have full they dont have the full engush they dont have the full english breakfast. Dont english breakfast. They dont have. When youve got that kind of money, get anything on money, you can get anything on the riviera. It is not a the french riviera. It is not a problem. And actually, hate problem. And actually, i hate to say the say it, but some of the ingredients, croissant, they ingredients, the croissant, they are, better. Are, theyre obviously better. The is obviously the orange juice is obviously better south of france. Better on the south of france. But rich people to italy, rich people motivated by money. People are motivated by money. If it was cheaper to live and if it was cheaper to live in britain, they would likely stay people, i think, stay a lot more people, i think, would their would certainly keep their tax affairs uk. Affairs in the uk. But i think if youre somebody who has decided youre going the golden of going to the golden years of your you like, and you your life, if you like, and you dont spending much dont plan on spending that much time uk, actually it time in the uk, actually it makes lot of sense to just makes a lot of sense to just wrap up, it up, make it wrap it up, tie it up, make it all nice and easy youre all nice and easy if youre moving to say the moving your life to say the south france italy, south of france or italy, i dont know. France has always well, france has always been there, like this there, though. Why . I like this 1200 last year, mark, id just like sort of know more about like to sort of know more about these figures you said these figures because you said were a billion were going to lose a billion pounds tax. Weve far pounds in tax. Weve so far since 2017, weve lost a billion. Almost billion. Okay. Well, we almost lost billion last week lost half a billion last week when ecclestone didnt when Bernie Ecclestone an didnt sort got, of sort of say what hed got, of course. Thing is, is course. So the thing is, is lets be lets not be sort lets not be lets not be sort of kind about these rich people. Of kind about these rich people. They they hide. They hide their money. The wealth inequality at the top is getting larger and larger. The inequality between the sort of nought point, nought 1 and then the rest is getting larger and larger. They are hiding money, they are removing money away from countries. So money away from countries. So therefore theyre not actually theyre not. I hear you about Bernie Ecclestone. Yeah. Ecclestone. Yeah. And that was last week my mother. Would that was last week. Mother would say that the billionaires are billionaires for a reason, and theyre probably pretty because they probably. But but because their dads were millionaires. Thats why were millionaires. Thats why theyre billionaires. Theyre billionaires. Lisa, i share your sadness
