'It needs myth busting!' Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg urges government to keep non-dom tax status

Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has urged the government to keep the non-dom tax status and claimed that it "needs myth busting."

Speaking on GB News he said: "Now, there's no doubt that non Dom status is a misunderstood policy. It sounds like a boondoggle for people who are living here but have some foreign antecedents, but it needs myth busting.

Non Dom status is a way of rich people not avoiding tax in the UK, but of paying tax on what they bring into the UK.

This is more than raised by inheritance tax, which as you probably know I'd like to see abolished."
