… To be considering leaving the UK?

Well, residence, which can be substantiated, is a fairer criteria than projections into the future about a person's likely residence and earning power - neither of which are provable at the point of access. Thus residence makes a good proxy.
I don't see the problem here. If you want to go to a British university and you are an expat, come home.

You've made that all up - Taxes are still far lower than the post war period, yet the wealthy still survived, just be lucky you have a great life style despite higher taxes but instead its just moan moan moan.

Try being a carer on NMW?

14 years of awful polices, have wrecked the UK but its quite simple, if you hate the UK & its Govt, then your life would be better elsewhere.

I don't like what the UK has become, i don't see any Govt being able to turn it around either, for me, it will be spending more and more time abroad, subject to Schengen rules.

Rachel Reeves is certainly a net tax contributor, but she despises us too. It's not really so much to do with what your current salary is: more your sense of entitlement to other people's money to benefit yourself and others you deem more worthy. More worthy to enjoy that money than the people whose money it actually is.

UK also offers various types of investor visa, Sunak closed down the Tier 1 investment visa.

EU closed down almost all Golden Visa's

UK is apparently no 1 for foreign investment & the numbers of the super rich leaving the UK has been grossly exaggerated. wonder why?

Since Brexit, the UK has become less attractive, add in appalling public services.

You don’t know that you are and no I don’t despise you I despise the money hoarding, poor me mentality shown on here when posters are
anything but that.

Labour really have completely fucked that up, with their policies and the accompanying vitriolic rhetoric.

We were happily oblivious to how unbalanced and how hate-filled our social contract was before. We just happily got on with working and paying in huge amounts. We're no longer oblivious. So what next?

You despise me even though I'm funding you.

Weird.

And not sustainable as a social contract.

Exactly.

I agree - education is a very real sticking point. It's the bit I can't quite square - even with English-system schools. I've been thinking I've left it too late to move during the education years (and definitely questioning our earlier choices - but then the UK wasn't such a shit-show 10 years ago)

But I was struck by @Araminta1003 's comment earlier that she's planning her move with the intention of relocating her entire family's locus, for the long-term benefit of her children. . She's not trying to keep her children connected to the UK through their education: she feels they will have better lives settled in Europe. This rings huge alarm bells for the UK's future. If professionals think their UK-born children (likely to be bright and hard-working - these things are correlated with parental educational siccess, whether you like that reality or not) will have a better future elsewhere and deliberately relocate the whole family, that's really bad for the UK. And has the hallmarks of a snowball effect.

My heart bleeds for you.🙄

Unless you stick to International schools moving a post GCSE child is tricky. Education systems won't match up and it will be a werid few years of settling into any public school system. And then you have post 18 yo visas to think of and university education. I have a US based relative who's in a visa nightmare as their UK born eldest is aging out of the family visa and they face the risk of not being able to live together.
Im in Ireland, have relatives in the US, Canada, Australia, France and NZ. No where is perfect, everywhere has is own issues, so go with open eyes.

But surely it doesn't need to be permanent? It's clearly easy to move countries for a small section of the population, like the OP and others commenting here that seem to be able to get visas to anywhere they want...so if someone is in that position then it would be easy to move there and even easier to come back home?

Family members who've emigrated to countries long flights away have struggled emotionally with the fact that you do really cut your family ties - their lives carry on without you. So think about where family are and recognise that if its a long flight, people will rarely visit.

I'd head to scandinavia myself.

What reports say otherwise? The socialist workers party?

Millionaires don’t quibble over school fees. Just saying.

Of course they do, they also quible over politicians smirking as their children’s schools close down and the education secretary saying their children are not ‘our’ children.

I’m getting the impression you are quite elderly and a little bit out of touch.

The 0.5% claim comes from taxjustice, which does not differentiate between liquid millionaires and those that hold their wealth in an asset, usually property.

It’s liquid wealth the UK is losing, and the net outflow is accelerating yearly. In one year alone the U.K. lost the equivalent of over half a million average tax payers (and that’s based only on the loss of income tax). The impact of this is far from negligible..

I have options about whether to trot off. You're not part of the conversation. Now do trot off yourself, do. 🙄

Exactly. Why do you think they do this? @L1ghyn1ngBug

Well 0.5% isn't negligible when the top 1% pay 30% of income tax. And if you imagine their high salaries are some kind of sleight of hand, you're dreaming. They get paid much more because their skills and work bring much more economic value. That's why other countries are offering them visas. So it's not just income tax you need to worry about - it's GDP.

So you don't know what it feels like in the UK right now. When the government are deliberately rabble -rousing against you. And NHS doctors are denying children mental health treatment for being 'too rich'.

And other reports say otherwise.

Millionaires don’t quibble over school fees. Just saying.

Just trot off and do it,it’s like a petulant child threatening to run away over and again.🙄

Highest exodus of millionaires of any country worldwide currently. And it's expected that in 2025 we'll have the highest loss of millionaires of any country in the last decade.

The UK does like to go out on a limb and do things other countries don't (eg Brexit, taxing education).

As we’ve established you’re not always better off for a variety of reasons including financial hence the actual very small numbers actually doing it.

I’m suspecting somebody quibbling over an extra £3k in school fees might find Switzerland a tad pricey. Schools fees can be double those in the uk.

You should explore all your options. Good luck

But other countries are welcoming the wealthy with open arms though- see golden visas, investor visas etc

Agree with last line.
