Economy, tax incentives & labor conditions
The foreigners can declare themselves resident of Great Britain, but not domiciled. This statute enables them not to pay a tax on their credits held abroad, as long as they are not repatriated in Great Britain. According to the figures of the Treasury, 115.000 people profited from this privilege over the fiscal year 2004-2005.
