That wouldn’t work people sending money have already paid tax on it -
The chancellor is exploring new opportunities ( and rightly so) for raising tax revenue in an endeavour to tackle the debt burden facing the nation. One think tank has floated the possibility of taxing remittances sent overseas by UK residents using a mix of formal channels such as banks Western Union, MoneyGram, Wise and WorldRemit. The proliferation of Western Union agencies has become notable in recent years. It is estimated that around £28.5 billion was remitted to such countries as India, Pakistan, Nigeria and countries in the Caribbean. Imposing such a tax could reduce capital outflows and result in greater investment here in the UK. The USA is introducing a tax at the rate of 1% effective 1/1/2026. Canada, Oman and Saudi Arabia are expected to follow suit. -
I'm trying to be civil, see things from different perspectives and avoid arguments. The grey economy is cash in hand, so no tax to be paid, Chancellor loses out, we all win. Zero hrs contracts must be tough not knowing where or when the next work is coming from. My position might not be great, but with a bit of sensible weekly shopping, stocking up on best buys etc. one survives and life ain't that bad.
