Simon Sweetman at AccountingWEB has written an article which is very supportive of the arguments I have made for the Tax Justice Network on the illegality of the UK's domicile rules. The article is hidden behind a registration process - but it may be worth going through it to read it.

Being pretty blunt, Simon says:

What we have now is a more favourable regime for those not of UK origin (because if you were born in the UK or your parents were born in the UK and you now live in the UK the chance of your having acquired and kept some other domicile is exceedingly small) and it is argued that this is actually in breach of the Race Relations Act. The Treasury of course dismisses this argument, but does not so far appear to have addressed it in terms of indirect discrimination, which is of course the point at issue.

He concludes:

Let's have a proper reply from the Treasury to what the Tax Justice Network says, and see where that takes us.

I agree with him.
