The UK does not tax worldwide income. In fact, if you hold your money in an offshore account, you can declare yourself a "non-domiciled" UK person. This special category exempts you from all tax on foreign income in exchange for a small fee.

It is not for no reason that every corrupt Russian oligarch and oil baron and African dictator flocks to London.

>The UK does not tax worldwide income.

UK does not tax worldwide income based on UK citizenship, but it does tax worldwide income for all UK domiciled residents, which includes all citizenship-seeking immigrants.

Your trivia on the non-domicile status is interesting, but both the grandparent and myself have already mentioned it, and I specifically said that it's "irrelevant to this analysis".
