Coda: here is a bit more of that sales pitch. Along with general talk about "wealthy Britons", who are anyway not affected by non-dom changes bcos Osborne 2017 reforms stopped almost all UK born folk (via Cond A) from using the regime. All very confused!

Non-doms is a hard area, but useful to speak to an expert to check, rather than only a lobby group and the PR team of an org trying to sell its services (and apparently unsure of the difference between per cent and percentage points)

It matters not just because you shd generally get the facts right, but bcos being out by 15x on how many ppl pay 30k totally changes plausibility of claims by lobby group cited as to how many ppl there are who wd pay 200k

As someone who does actually read the deets, you know WAS explicitly isn't sampling ppl without homes. It also isn't going to pick up ppl who are not spending much resid in UK

(below from my paper, bcos I can't screenshot a nice short summary from WAS docs onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...)

1a. Not obv that middle are "better off" for that wealth, bcos a large part has come from shift in pension wealth being held privately (vs state). Privatisation means we measure it

wealth ineq was very high, 📉 1910s to hit low c.1980, then 📈 a bit til c.2000, since when it has been reasonably flat
