THE FINANCIAL TRUTH Last year 250,000 British citizens left the UK - triple what the ONS predicted. 16,500 millionaires will leave in 2025, the largest wealth exodus in the world. So the question is no longer “who leaves?” It’s “what do they know that the rest of us don’t?” In this video, we break down the real financial picture facing UK taxpayers heading into 2026 - without the doom, without the politics… just the numbers, incentives and consequences. You’ll learn: ✅ Why the UK’s economic stagnation, tax freezes and record-high burdens are pushing people to reconsider their future ✅ How HMRC is doubling fines, hiring 6,000 new staff and deploying AI to target small businesses, freelancers and landlords ✅ Why wealth creators are leaving — and why HMRC isn’t chasing them ✅ The true cost of staying vs moving: Dubai, Portugal, Malta, Singapore, Monaco ✅ Statutory Residence Rules, traps, and the mistakes that get expats taxed twice ✅ When leaving makes sense — and when it absolutely doesn’t ✅ How to protect yourself financially even if you stay If you’re earning outside PAYE — self-employed, landlord, contractor, digital business, consultant — you are in HMRC’s enforcement spotlight going into 2026.
