i get where you're coming from. the trouble is that it's a very slippery slope to have one rule for the rich and another for everyone else. from what i've read, removing it would make a very minimal amount for the economy - just a few hundred million - as some would move away. however there would be a level playing field for everyone. also i'm not talking about genuine non-doms that are just based here for a couple of years, i'm talking abolut people that are permanently based here and just use this rule to dodge paying tax.
