If the law says you can move and after you've moved, we don't tax you anymore, then I agree with you.

It's a big risk.

I agree with you.

But that's not my proposal.

The proposal is not, don't write the law like that.

Add a paragraph that says, if you move, we keep taxing you after you've moved.

So there's no incentive to move.

Let me answer that question because I've actually studied the UK tax law and you already have something like that in the UK law for inheritance tax.

There is what is known as a tail, which means that if you move to another country

For 10 years, and you die abroad, for a period of 10 years, you still have to pay inheritance tax in the UK.

That's already in UK law.

My proposal is just to extend that logic, to also apply that logic of having a tail or trailing tax to this minimum tax on the super-rich.

But the legal basis already exists in the UK tax law.

Okay, so how much money are we talking about?

First of all, there is a great deal of opacity and the wealth of the super-rich, so you have to be careful.

It's difficult to have a fully precise estimate.

There's a margin of error.

The estimates that we have are based on the Sunday Times magazine rich list.

Pops, they overestimate the wealth of the super rich.

Pops, they underestimate, they miss some very rich people.
