I'm amazed it's that high. Even so, based on the example 150,000.00 is still a huge revenue loss to coffers. That has to be replaced from somewhere, and bear in mind we're talking one financial year here!

You're assuming that all these people have jobs in the UK. Many may be moving under family class.

Please refer to the link provided above. There is a slight net gain to the UK through emmigration and immigration. Less people emigrate now than in the past.

Anyone here who files a quarterly Vat return will know where I'm coming from here

Oh good grief no. No refugees, no asylum seekers, no indolent, disabled or unlucky people. No towns where the whole population is government funded and spends its days sniffing fire extinguishers. Completely different to the UK.

The report is still very chaotic, and does go on to say that services are ready to burst, combined with people leaving.
Either way, people are leaving in large numbers because of the state of country, and it's still loss to our Government in terms good old "tax"
I for one, know lots of people from all walks of life who have left this country for broadly all the same reason. They all worked, and I'd say in terms of tax loss, you could be looking at nearly 200k in terms of tax paid, this would exclude purchase's and other forms of tax revenue.
This is just based on a handful of people I know - let alone volumes of people!

The floor's all done, even the baseboards. I believe there's some sort of furniture pending.
