Something always puzzles me in the stories super-rich quitting UK for Dubai. With a billion in the bank I would be congratulating myself I could afford to pay a bit more tax to live in such a great country rather than share desert bling with a bunch of despots, oligarchs and assorted hucksters.

Nik Storonsky, the founder of Revolut, has left the UK and become tax resident in Dubai - escaping more than £3bn of UK tax.
Could we have stopped him leaving? Either with the carrot of a more competitive tax system, or the stick of an exit tax?

If you can’t afford to train your staff, or don’t know how to train your staff, then you can’t afford to — or don’t know how to — run your business. In most sectors, staffing is the biggest cost by far. Training staff should be one of your core responsibilities as an employer.
