The price of fame
January 19, 2009
The U.K. apparently wishes to recreate the 1970s era of expatriate Brit celebrities:
Celebrities will be probed by a new force set up to combat tax evasion among the rich.Pop stars, actors and footballers are among those the High Net Worth Unit are expected to target.
Those found avoiding tax could face prosecution and will have to cough up for any unpaid revenue. Sir Paul McCartney, Sting and Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber could be among those whose affairs are examined by the body, called the VIP Unit.
Come on, you famous Brits. Iowa beckons!
