Tax and residence in the

United Kingdom

United Kingdom Basics

The UK and especially London is one of the most diverse and culturally exiting places on the planet. True the weather is crap most of the year but who wouldn't want to live in the centre of theatre, music and culture for the whole english speaking world. It's not cheap and you need money to live even for a short time.

It's not a tax haven if you are domiciled [most UK citizens will be]. If you are noon-UK and leave most of your income outside the land it can be a very low tax year round home. That's difficult unless you are mega rich because you'll need a high income to cover living costs. For most of us a place to stay a few months now and again.
