About 120,000 businessmen known as “non-dom”, live and develop their economic activity in Britain. They are under the threat of loosing their tax privileges, the most important of which is taxation for the income coming only from Britain. Brown’s government forced all foreign businessmen and the higly-paid working population, who have been living in Britain for more than 7 years, to pay the amount of 30,000 annually for each family member, for the income not to be checked.
Now, the Minister for Finance is willing to put an end to this situation and disgrace the above mentioned privileges. However, various reactions have been expressed due to the aggravating consequences of the reforms for the city of London and the whole economy alike. Despite the fact that Greek Maritime Bureaus in London offer jobs to many branches and sectors, the new strict fiscal measures “force”, according to a former report, a large number of foreign, and especially of Greek ship-owners to leave London and relocate their firms to other countries. This includes Greece and Switzerland.
