Mike Kemp | In Pictures | Getty ImagesLONDON — Britain's ultra-rich non-doms are urging the government to introduce an Italian-style flat-tax regime to prevent a wealth exodus, as their preferential status comes under threat in the upcoming budget. That differs from Italy's regime, which charges a recently doubled rate of 200,000 euros per year regardless of wealth bracket. Non-doms move their moneyReeves had previously said that scrapping the program could generate £2.6 billion ($3.38 billion) for the Treasury over the course of the next government.

They're just a few of the destinations trying to lure away the U.K.'s uber wealthy ahead of proposed changes to the country's divisive non-dom tax regime. They will also be prevented from avoiding inheritance tax on assets held in trust. The majority (83%) cited inheritance tax on their worldwide assets as their key motivator for leaving, while 65% also referenced changes to income and capital gains tax. Where the wealthy are movingIt comes as other countries are shaking up their tax regimes to incentivize wealthy investors. Ultra-wealthy U.K. citizens, who are typically highly active in the super-prime market, are also in "wait and see" mode ahead of possible changes to capital gains and inheritance tax.

“Those with the broadest shoulders should pay their fair share,” UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt told parliament Wednesday. ‘Colonial concept’The non-dom regime is an “archaic colonial concept,” which determines a person’s tax status based on their “intended” place of residence, said Arun Advani, an economics professor at the University of Warwick. The opposition Labour Party had previously said it would abolish the non-dom regime if it came to power, and spend the money raised on the National Health Service. Yui Mok/Pool/AFP/Getty ImagesMurty has since renounced those advantages, citing the “British sense of fairness” and the “distraction” her tax status posed to her husband, who was serving as the UK’s finance minister at the time. But in November 2022 Hunt defended the “non-dom” status.

☆ Nvidia just blew its results out of the water thanks to a technology spending wave that analysts haven't seen 'since the internet in 1995'
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Sebastian Cahill | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Analysts are calling the company's results a "1995 moment," evoking the internet's boom. The enormous revenue reflects an increase in AI spending from Nvidia's largest clients, such as Google Cloud, Meta, and Oracle. These results, while impressive on their own, have larger implications for the "AI Gold Rush," according to analysts from Wedbush Securities. Nvidia's earnings are a sign that AI spending isn't going anywhere. "This build out is unlike anything we have seen since the Internet in 1995 and the ramifications are just starting to ripple through the consumer/enterprise landscape," Wedbush analysts said in a statement.

☆ I'm a paypig who spent $1,800 of my student loan on my 'findom' fetish, but I don't regret it
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-19 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

A college student spent about $1,800 from his student loan to fund his "paypig" fetish. I had just received my student-maintenance loan — a loan to help with my living expenses — and that gave me a bit of spare cash. After a few weeks, I booked a Skype session with a dom who asked me how much I had, and that's how I got into spending my student loan. It's quite addictive, and I've definitely spent money when I shouldn't have. In total I've spent almost £1,500, or about $1,800, from my student loan to fund my fetish, and I don't regret it.
