Why do people move for tax?
Wealthy individuals sometimes move their tax residency to countries with more favourable tax regimes. Greece, for example, offers a fixed annual tax on overseas earnings, which can be very attractive compared to the UK's system for high earners. This is a common strategy for managing personal finances on a global scale.
