I therefore infer that the Baroness is not technically an IOM resident, so why does our media keep fawning over her all the time? As it has been pointed out, the Island does not need any more bad press. If she is an IOM resident for tax purposes i.e. spends more than 6 months per year here, then surely she cannot sit in the House of Lords. This is an interesting point. Additionally UK political parties and its members should not accept donations from any person or business not based in the UK. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in realty will be done, except the usual statements how the IOM is a low tax financial jurisdiction blah blah blah. Besides Russia is the name of the game and the island is deregistering yachts, shipping, aircraft and helicopters on the orders of the UK Government (and quite rightly so). This article is creating more reputational damage, for the island but more so for the person and the business and the fact he is a HNWI and resides here.

Someone who sits in the house of Lords is regarded as UK resident and domiciled for UK tax purposes. I expect this is quite separate from the question as to whether they are IOM resident for IOM tax purposes. A person could be resident in both jurisdictions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met her several times when she's been sloshed. She's great in photos, average in person and when she opens her gob.. Jesus Mary Joseph and the little donkey, that's enough to clear a room. It's also particularly sad that Knox recently insisted anyone who comes in to close contact with Doug and Michelle in a personal capacity needed to sign NDAs. If they didn't they'd stop using their restaurant or service etc. Edited March 26, 2022 by NoTailT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
