Billionaire Lakshmi Mittal is reportedly leaving the UK for Dubai’s ultra-luxurious Naïa Island, driven by new British tax reforms and the allure of zero-tax billionaire living.
Currently a Swiss tax resident, Mittal reportedly plans to spend most of his time in the UAE, where he already owns a mansion and is acquiring property on Naïa Island. He is ranked the eighth richest person in the UK with an estimated net worth of £15.4 billion.
India's major business leaders have collectively funded a ₹50 crore health insurance scheme for the Supreme Court Bar Association, offering comprehensive coverage to its members, including cashless treatment and maternity benefits.
Mittal, 74, is not the only uber-wealthy to seek a residential option in Dubai. Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s family had also bought luxury real estate in Dubai.
The event, linked to the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute, drew criticism for being "tone deaf," considering the attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which claimed 26 lives.
Mittal, a key figure in the business world, has been residing in the UK for almost three decades. The reported reason for his potential departure is the government's decision to discontinue tax exemptions for specific foreign income and gains.
The couple ranked higher than the late Queen in 2022 - with Elizabeth II’s personal fortune that year evaluated at £370 million. Sunak became the first front-line politician to feature on the Sunday Times' annual wealth list in its 35-year history when he appeared on it as chancellor in the 2022 edition.
The public sector lender was responding to RTI activist Commodore (retired) Lokesh Batra, who sought complete disclosure on electoral bonds data in the digital form, as provided to the poll body after the top court's order.
Narendra Modi emphatically rejected the suggestion that the issue of electoral bonds caused a setback to his government.
He also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who had earlier claimed that the BJP was running the "biggest extortion in the world" through the Electoral Bond Scheme.
Further policy reforms will enable Indian businesses located overseas to relocate to GIFT City, says K. Rajaraman, Chairperson of regulator IFSCA
