New data from the Adam Smith Insititute won’t make happy reading for Reeves as she battles her officials over Labour’s manifesto tax hikes. The Treasury is already looking at watering down the non-dom tax raid by softening plans for inheritance tax on trusts and introducing a discount on bringing in foreign income. Yet another ‘loophole’ as tax-fanatics would dub it – otherwise known as an ‘incentive’…

The ASI finds that the 4.55% of British residents with over $1 million in assets will plunge to just 3.62% by 2028. They will leave thanks to increased day-to-day taxation, frozen inheritance tax thresholds and capital gains taxes set to rise…
