Does Lewis choice to live in a tax haven and avoid the full impact of the British tax system diminish his British-ness? (Poll Closed)

    Lewis is contractually obliged to spend about 250 days overseas. That leaves 115 days he could spend at home a year. If he spends 90 days or less in the UK he is not considered s resident. 91 days or more he pays full tax on all of his earnings. About 50% of £85m (with endorsements) that's around £42m to live in the UK for a further 25 days than he currently can for free.

    Would you pay £1.7m per day to live in the UK?

    I DO KNOW IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND SPOTLESSLY CLEAN. AND THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON THE CÔTE DE SKEGNESS, BUT GET REAL!

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

    I'm surprised they don't accuse him of being Kenyan.
