Our #$@#$ Government and Taxes!!!!
Was just told that the AUSTALIAN and SOUTH AFRICAN consulates assured its citizens here that they wont have to worry about expat taxation. Will our dear government (British) ever do the same?? Noooo, EXPAT TAX is upon us!!!!
I have already contacted another European country of which I am a citizen by descent to arrange for a passport. If the worst comes to worst, I will stop using my British passport!
This makes me so angry, they are going to take our money and the country is still going to the dogs!!
