Asked by: Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat - Edinburgh West)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many holders of Tier 1 Investor visas have claimed non-domiciled tax status in each of the last ten years.
Answered by Kevin Foster
Eligibility for entry and stay under the Tier 1 (Investor) route has not been dependent on any specific legally available tax statuses.The Home Office does not therefore routinely hold data concerning the tax status of applicants. The use of available tax provisions and by whom is ultimately a matter for the tax authorities.
