Absolutely, same with the Poles and Romanians.

 

The Romanians live quite similar to the Syrians. Neither they nor the Poles will leave the UK after 6 months.

 

But then, Boris knows that, but he needs the tourism from the EU. So he can't just tell Poles and Romanians they can't come.

 

Tourism Euros are more important, and sorely needed in the UK. Just like European buyers for the herring the British catch.

The UK was only a net contributor if you look at money explicity paid to the UK by the EU and viceversa. However, if you look at the full, true, picture you would have to consider such things as 1) EU passporting rights enabled UK and international city services providers to sell financial services which would not have been the case without EU law 2) taxes paid by EU workers who relocated to London 3) tourists who travelled to the UK and spent money 4) Taxes from goods sold in an open market for goods which would not have been sold without the EU legal framework....

 

You can close your eyes to this reality, and practice the ostrich pose, but this does not change the fact that this was the reality. The UK derived revenue from membership in the EU that is not in the official 'paid by EU' figures which UKIP tell you.

 

Yes, the UK taxpayer paid child benefits to unemployed Romanian gypsies, but this was a deficiency of the UK system. I think this has been discontinued EU wide now.

 

I certainly remember paying National Insurance in the UK, many other EU workers paid National Insurance.

 

As you rightly point out the overall net cost/benefit calculation can be made quite difficult if one looks at the full picture.

 

Of course there was tourism before the EU, but do you really think London would have become the world's most visited city without the EU visitors? Most of whom came because of the ease of visa free travel? Undoubtedly tourism to the UK will decline now. Some may still visit. Some may even still come to work. But do you really think given the tremendous bureaucratic headache EU workers will have going to the UK to work in the future just AS MANY will choose to do that? Very, very unlikely.

 

It's not just Honda that is leaving, BMW, Siemens, many many big players will leave the UK. Investment in the UK will continue to go down. How do you think that will affect the UK economy?

 

Brexit is a losing game for the UK. Why do you want it?

From the Horse mouth so to speak The EU

Income tax

If you work in your host country for less than six months, you shouldn't be liable for income tax there. However, there are no EU-wide rules that set out which country can tax your income during a posting. This may be set out in national laws or tax agreements between EU countries.

Social security cover while abroad

As a posted worker, to continue to be covered by the social security system in your home country, you or your employer have to request a PD A1 form from the social security institution in your home country. As your PD A1 form is valid for only 24 months, if your posting to another EU country lasts longer, you can either

So all the guest workers in the UK move back after 6 months?
Just to ask simply:
How is the taxation situation of guest workers who work longer than 6 months in the host country?
A very, very large, super majority stays longer or not?

Unfortunately, a weekend abroad does not reset the tax Clock to zero.

If your place of residence and work are legally registered, you will pay taxes across the EU (including the UK) on a national basis. There are also double taxation agreements within the EU and also with the UK.

These are criminals who work with subcontractors.Depending on the country, there are also laws. Here, every EU country is autonomous within its tax policy. (A much-cited weakness in the EU)
Most EU countries have a strict tax authority. Tax investigation. In some countries they have very extensive powers. The more complaints about the exploitation situation reach the tax authorities, the more quickly they will react.

A little more case-related: If the UK tax authority doesn't realize that the same workers, no matter where they work and change, have worked in the country for more than 6 months, it's a weakness in the UK administration system. Hopefully the UK will soon get ID cards for the entire population. Btw. The UK is the only country in the EU that has no uniform ID cards!

Don't worry about the Poles and the Romanians overstaying , I understand that Dominic Cummings as part of his recruitment campaign has hired some British expats that have 1st hand knowledge of how the Thai immigration report a foreigner works

I think the Europeans should be more worried about those UK nationals that will be allowed to claim asylum in any EU country from January 1st 2021 as previously they have been blocked from doing so under EU rules.

Instead of being servants only. Financial services from the UK will be at the mercy of EU authorities soon. Better learn how to make things again.

Totally wrong,

 

I avoid them, as I don't understand them mostly.

 

Some don't get this, they must think : 

-Every British understand me here, so everyone must understand me-

 

and therefore some can become aggressive.

 

Except here, and in a specific context, I never mention my pension.

 

And this is not to show off, as my pension is not spectacular at all in Belgium.

 

It may be considered as such for the British,  as they have a really small pension.

 

But that's up to their government.

 

Each country has his own priorities,

it seems the well - fare of the pensioners in the U.K. is not a top priority for the British government.

 

Don't blame the others for that.

Either you don't get it or you wilfully want to ignore the facts. Statistics only look at what is easily collected as data. So the statistica site takes money paid out by the EU yes.

 

However, it does not record the fact that the City of London grew exponenttially during the UK's membership of the EU on the back of EU passporting rights for any service providers domiciled in the UK. 

 

If the UK had not been a member of the EU all those international services providers, banks, insurance companies, brokers, law firms, etc would not have set up shop in the City the way they did.

 

There would not have been same tourism to the UK without EU law allowing free travel.

 

There would not have been the same influx of EU workers, paying tax in the UK, without freedom of movement.

 

There would not have been the tax revenue on products the UK was able to sell in the EU thanks to freedom of goods. Fish being a superb example since out of every 3 fish caught by British fishermen, two are sold in the EU

 

Of course you can't quantify exactly those kinds of benefits, but we KNOW they happened. If anyone ever bothered to seriously calculate those benefits, then it is very obvious that the UK was not a net contributor but a net beneficiary of the EU.

 

As for child benefit for kids abroad, I'm afraid this is very much a deficiency of the UK system. It exists because the UK wants to allow British nationals who are abroad to make child benefit claims. That Romanians abuse this is to be expected and could be easily stopped, but as usual your UK government does nothing..

 

In any event, if you're so worried about child benefits, you may want to consider that UK families cost the Exchequer 11.3 billion pounds in child benefits alone. So that puts your 15 milillon for foreigners into context.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2017-40061921

 

As for EU workers not paying National Insurance, that's the biggest nonsense I ever read, I have personally paid National Insurance and have the card to prove it. So I know that's just nonsense. Quite the opposite, actually, I paid in tens of thousands of pounds in National Insurance and WAS NEVER able to claim this money back from the UK.

 

Why would you want the UK to leave the common market? Because of your concern about child benefits? Or because you're concerned EU nationals don't pay National Insurance? Both would be nonsense reasons.
