Why do rich people leave the UK?

High earners sometimes move abroad for various reasons, and tax can be a significant factor. Countries like Greece offer attractive tax regimes to encourage wealthy individuals to relocate, bringing their money and potential investment with them. This can lead to a debate about whether the UK's tax policies are competitive enough to retain its wealthiest residents.
