Billionaire crypto investor Christian Angermayer has reportedly left London for Switzerland amid concerns over potential tax increases on offshore wealth. The German-born businessman departed ahead of the anticipated crackdown on non-domiciled tax arrangements. These tax rules allow foreign nationals living in the UK to avoid paying taxes on overseas income unless brought into the country.

Angermayer, who had lived in London for the past decade, moved to Lugano, Switzerland, earlier this month. He reportedly declined other relocation options, including New York and Dubai. According to Bloomberg, Angermayer did not pay taxes on foreign income for up to 15 years. The investor remarked:

Every non-dom I know has left or is about to leave.

“Non-dom” describes a UK resident whose permanent home, or domicile, for tax purposes is outside the UK.

A central policy push could generate £3.2 billion in revenue, but government officials are reportedly uncertain, fearing wealthy residents will follow Angermayer’s example and leave the UK.

Despite these concerns, the opposition party plans to address tax loopholes and aim for an initial £1 billion in revenue in the first year. The Conservatives had already considered scaling back non-dom tax breaks while in office, but the current proposals are seen as more aggressive. The Office for Budget Responsibility will assess any cost estimates before the next fiscal plan is finalized. A Treasury spokesperson clarified that the changes are not official yet, stating:

These reports are speculation, not government policy.
