That is a two-sided coin. On one side - yes, the UK education is one of the prominent industries in this country and something to capitalise on. On the other - there are hundreds of obscure courses and educational organisations that function as visa stamping outlets mostly bringing students from...

which define the lives of every person with mortgage or rent (oops, that's like everyone?), most of the business, can topple governments and cause years-long crisis. Yep, it's meaningless, but people are dumb and they need simple magic numbers to tell them what is good and what is not.

It all goes down to one number - FED interest rate. There is a positive scenario: the FED will push the rate down to comfortable 2% and do it as fast as possible. That will allow people to keep their houses (mortgages will be affordable), it will allow like half of NYSE companies to keep...

Many people have apparently never heard of the word "prop". Theatres and film production teams travel with fake bank notes, weapons etc all the time. Do the proper paperwork in advance, declare the goods and let enough time to answer any questions, but have your story straight and be prepared to...

Exactly why it's not happening. The left are relying on the votes from immigrants and exit tax will be hugely unpopular amongst them.

Generally not worrying about reporting your income is very refreshing.

Exactly. Why trigger the mass exodus of potential tax payers when you can just tax their next of kin when they die?

Again, doubt it. Most significant changes in the UK laws are announced and discussed beforehand and when implemented have a grace period, sometimes years.

Doubt it. It's extremely easy to obtain a second citizenship for British fat cats and many of them already have other passport. They actually tax non-residents now (inheritance tax).

You need another accountant then. There are some companies that advertise on this forum.

Generally speaking: 1) there is little difference now between FZCO and mainland companies, except it's easier to have a proper substance for a mainland company (very cheap office in the outskirts, very cheap stuff if needed), so banking is much easier done for mainland. 2) there is VAT and...

If they got the citizenship, adopted local culture and values and contribute to society - I will call them Brits. They will never be Englishmen or Scotts, but being British does not require you to be born on British soil.

Not arguing that the UK is slowly? becoming a shithole, but you should stop boiling in the confirmation bias. There were always juicy areas that were unsafe to visit (despite being 99.99% white) and there are ares that are absolutely fine. And that goes to every country, even Dubai. Migration is...

So is any asset. Your US dollar in 2024 is worth about half of what US dollar was in 2000. Value only makes sense when comparing with other assets and in long term BTC is performing surprisingly well. They are non necessarily scam, but the whole market is built in a way when you need to raise...
