As long as its legal, I really don't care.  What someone else has makes little difference to me.

Sunak and his wife benefit from her 'Non Dom' status, she could have chosen to pay taxes here as she lives here, but she chose to be a nom dom and avoid tax on her offshore income, at least that's the way I read it.   It might be legal, but it doesn't mean it's right  :cool:
One question though, how is she allowed to declare permanent residency in India while living here ? :hmm: :hmm:

while living here
In Number 11 Downing Street  :grin:

It's nothing to do with envy, it's about the Chancellor, the man who sets the tax rules, having a wife who's into tax avoidance via her disingenuous residency status.

If he wasn't in the Government no one would bother.

As a member of the Conservative Party I can tell you, from the rumblings I've heard, that it's on the cards that Sunak's days are numbered unless his wife surrenders her non-dom status.

Ahhh!!
I have changed my mind.. It's now Greed instead of Envy..
I suppose having a husband who knows how to (work) the books helps..!
Bloody Conservatives..  :grin: :grin: :nooo:

I hope so, if it was Joe Bloggs would be one thing, but as you say this man is the British Chancellor, anyone in public office should set a squeeky clean example or else all credibility goes out of the window. Her non dom status may be legal but it's not morally right, how can you live in the UK and be non dom? it stinks.

Yep. Needs to be beyond reproach with respect to the letter and spirit of the law. Just like Boris  :rolleyes:

Under the non-dom rules the default position of Sunak's wife is that she pays UK income tax on all her earnings from all sources.

However, the non-dom rules allow her to apply not to pay UK income tax on her earnings in the country which she declares as her main country of residence.

Therefore she had to apply, actively, & in full knowledge, to avoid paying UK income tax on her Indian earnings.

Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Yes, she doesn't want to ruin hubby's chance of the Number 10 job ! 

Scrumpy
