Spare a penny for the poor non-doms
The fallout from George Osborne's first PBR continues. Oh, sorry, I meant Alistair Darling's PBR (How could I have made that mistake?)
After slagging off the Tories yesterday for using our figures The Observer's figures an unnamed tax expert's figures for the number of non-domiciliaries there might be in the UK, Gordon Brown followed up today with another dig at PMQs.
But the assault came after another Labour MP asked the Prime Minister to assure us that all those non-doms on low incomes might not be hit by the new £30,000 charge.
All those non-doms on low incomes? Give. Me. Strength.
Not only do we have a Labour chancellor apparently slashing the inheritance tax burden, one of the few taxes you might expect the party to support, we also have Labour MPs showing great financial concern for the fortunes of those poverty stricken non-doms.
The next time I see one asking for cash around London, I'll be sure to spare them one or two pennies to pay this new tax bill. We wouldn't want them to go hungry, now, would we?
