Another 325 companies worried about losing access to the European market are considering a move, the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency said. | | | | | https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-b...-idUSKCN1VG0GH |

He won his Brexit but the lies keep coming. Melton Mowbray pork pie makers and No 10 clash over Johnson claim | Quote: |  | | | Boris Johnson had said pork pies are exported to Thailand and Iceland, but cannot be to the US due to red tape.
However the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association said the pies were not even exported to Thailand and Iceland. | | | | | | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

I can imagine the dilemma of the Thai: on the left a great dish of fresh Thai food. On the right a pork pie. What shall I eat?

Boris and his lies.

A little off topic (maybe not in this thread) but I just noticed that Loz hit the self-destruct button. Probably puts me 3 months behind the curve as usual but anyone know what was behind that?

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | I've said before here, one of my closest friends is a dual national and cannot surrender either nationality without losing property inheritance rights in either country (we're talking a good few £100k in each country). She's lived in the UK for 15yrs, is married to my best mate and they have 4 kids together, the eldest being 13yrs old. | | | | | maybe a more relevant question would be, why are there EU countries that still have legislation that discriminates inheritance law according to nationality?

The forum moderators (or at least some of them) appear to be some sort of immature, politically-correct U.K. students' union who stifle debate by banning anyone they don't agree with from Union debates.

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | maybe a more relevant question would be, why are there EU countries that still have legislation that discriminates inheritance law according to nationality? | | | | | One random person on the internet making a statement on the internet does not make it so..... you cannot discriminate against an EU citizen in national law, but that does not mean that everyone will be treated the same, it simply means that you must be treated the same as a national under the same circumstances and there are exceptions.
Inheritance law is a very complex area, but the general rule is that the testator gets to choose between the law of the state where he is a citizen or that of the state where he last lived. But there are an array of exceptions which allow the executors or the beneficiaries to choose a different legal framework and Denmark, Ireland and the UK have an opt out.
The more relevant question would be to ask the OP to be more specific as to what the actual circumstances are and if it is an inheritance law or a tax law question, where up to now there has been little effort on harmonization. My guess would be a tax advantage, but we just don’t know.
