This dissertation aims to assess whether favourable tax rates attract more wealthy individuals and investors to a country, focusing on the UK. The study aims to explore the impact of tax rates on the total tax revenue in the UK, to investigate what economic factors drive the decisions of wealthy individuals to change the place of residence, to explore how wealthy individuals are able to legally evade taxation, and to provide recommendations to the UK government on favourable tax rates. The review of literature discusses topics like taxation as an economic concept, the purpose of taxation, the Laffer curve, and other empirical evidence. The methodology section is provided in great detail, and the study uses the survey strategy to collect data. All of the answers to the survey are analysed, and the dissertation concludes with limitations and recommendations.
