> Out of curiosity, do you pay your pension contributions after tax?
You do know that pensions are taxed when you draw them?
If you pay your pension contribution after being taxed, then your provider claims basic rate relief for you and adds that into the pot. If you pay via salary sacrifice, then it goes in before tax.
Either way, when you come to draw down your pension, it'll be taxed as income.
It's a complete tangent, but either you don't understand pensions, or it's not clear what point you were trying to make here?
> So you want the right to determine the tax rates of other countries, which have many legitimate residents?
I'm not sure that's what his complaint was. I think it was more a comment on the habit of people turning out to be a tax non-dom if called upon to pay - i.e. the original suggestion of just taxing shareholders and getting rid of corporation tax wouldn't be any better than the system we have now
