欧洲估值最高的私营科技公司 Revolut 董事会成员、高盛前负责人已成为最新一位因担忧英国税收负担不断加重而离开该国的知名金融家。

A former Goldman Sachs chief who sits on the board of Revolut, Europe’s most valuable private technology company, has become the latest prominent financier to leave the country amid concerns about Britain’s rising tax burden.

天空新闻获悉,迈克尔·舍伍德已在泽西岛购得房产,并于近期成为该岛的税务居民。

Sky News has learnt that Michael Sherwood has acquired a home in Jersey and recently became tax-resident on the island.

熟悉其决定的人士表示,他与家人一段时间以来一直在探讨搬迁事宜。

People familiar with his decision said he had been exploring the move with his family for some time.

天空新闻联系到舍伍德先生并询问他是否已搬迁至泽西岛时,他对此予以了证实。

When contacted by Sky News and asked if he had relocated to Jersey, Mr Sherwood confirmed that he had.

正值财政大臣约翰·希利即将发表其首次预算案前几天,他的搬迁消息浮出水面,这再次引发了人们对英国税基流失规模的担忧,因为越来越多的英国最富有人群正在离开英国。

His move, which has emerged just days before John Healey, the chancellor, delivers his maiden Budget, will again stoke fears over the scale of Britain's eroding tax base as a growing number of the country's wealthiest people quit Britain.

上个月,在众多富豪(如钢铁大亨拉克什米·米塔尔)离开之后,对冲基金亿万富翁克里斯·罗科斯也将其税务居民身份从英国迁至希腊。

Last month, the hedge fund billionaire Chris Rokos moved his tax residency from the UK to Greece, following a host of others, such as the steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal.

曾与舍伍德先生一同管理高盛国际业务的理查德·格诺德也已离职并前往米兰。

彭博亿万富翁指数近期计算得出,在对公共财政状况以及工党政府旨在修复财政的政策的担忧触发下,拥有总计1200亿英镑财富的个人在过去两年中离开了英国。

Bloomberg's Billionaires Index recently calculated that individuals with aggregate fortunes of £120bn have left Britain in the last two years, triggered by concerns about the state of the public finances and Labour government policies aimed at repairing them.

保守党影子财政大臣安德鲁·格里菲斯周六表示:“周复一周,更多关于知名企业和投资者逃离英国的消息不断涌现,然而本政府却显得完全被动。”

Andrew Griffith, the Conservative shadow chancellor, said on Saturday: "Week after week, more news emerges of prominent businesses and investors fleeing the UK, yet this government seems entirely passive.

“‘每个邮政编码都实现增长’绝不能意味着泽西岛、米兰或迪拜的邮政编码。下周的预算案必须采取行动扭转这一趋势。”一名工党消息人士指出,亿万富翁的出走始于保守党执政时期,当时的时任财政大臣杰里米·亨特宣布了废除非英国 domiciliates(非本土居民)税收制度的计划。

"'Growth in every postcode' cannot mean postcodes in Jersey, Milan or Dubai. Next week's Budget must take action to reverse this trend." One Labour source pointed out that the exodus of billionaires had been started under the Tories, when Jeremy Hunt, the then chancellor, announced plans to abolish the non-dom tax regime.

最近几周,财政部官员一直在紧急消除关于预算案可能征收离境税的持续揣测。

In recent weeks, Treasury officials have scrambled to shut down persistent speculation about the possibility of exit taxes being imposed at the Budget.

有报道暗示,将资本利得税与最高档所得税税率拉平的提案也被希利先生排除在外。

Reports have suggested that proposals to bring capital gains tax in line with the top rate of income tax have also been ruled out by Mr Healey.

尽管如此,这位财政大臣仍面临着艰难的平衡抉择,英国的国家债务持续飙升,债券市场投资者对政府保持对公共财政严格管控的承诺程度持续表现出焦虑。

The chancellor nevertheless faces a difficult balancing act, with Britain's national debt continuing to soar and bond market investors exhibiting ongoing anxiety about the extent of the government's commitment to maintaining a firm grip on the public finances.

一位伦敦金融城消息人士在谈到又一位富豪离开英国的消息时表示,身为托特纳姆热刺足球俱乐部少数股东的舍伍德在高盛度过了长达三十年的职业生涯,期间他成为了金融城最重要的风云人物之一。

One City source described the news of another wealthy individual leaving Britain Mr Sherwood, who is a minority shareholder in Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, became one of the City's most important figures during a three-decade career at Goldman.

他在同事中被称为“伍迪”,曾晋升为高盛国际联席首席执行官,该机构涵盖了这家华尔街巨头在美国以外的业务。

Known as 'Woody' to colleagues, he rose to the role of co-chief executive of Goldman Sachs International, which encompasses the Wall Street giant's operations outside the US.

作为他那一代最熟练的交易员之一,舍伍德先生为公司创造了巨额利润。

One of the most skilled traders of his generation, Mr Sherwood generated huge profits for the firm.

他在年仅20岁时加入高盛,三年后成为债务辛迪加(一项重要的融资业务)负责人,随后在29岁时晋升为该银行利润丰厚的合伙人行列。

He joined Goldman aged just 20, became its head of debt syndicate - an important financing role - three years later, and was then promoted to the bank's lucrative partner ranks at 29.

他在2016年离职,不久前他曾出席一个议会特别委员会,该委员会当时正在调查高街零售商 BHS 的倒闭事件,该公司此前由菲利普·格林爵士拥有,格林爵士是舍伍德长期以来的朋友和商业伙伴。

He left in 2016, not long after appearing before a parliamentary select committee which was investigating the collapse of BHS, the high street retailer which had previously been owned by Sir Philip Green, a long-standing friend and business associate of Mr Sherwood.

这位前高盛高管当时表示,这两起事件没有关联,他与时任高盛首席执行官劳埃德·布兰克费恩就自己的未来已经进行了长时间的讨论。

The former Goldman executive said at the time that the two events were unconnected, and that he had been discussing his future over a long period with Lloyd Blankfein, the then Goldman chief.

自离开该银行以来,舍伍德一直专注于其广泛的慈善活动以及他的商业利益。

Since leaving the bank, Mr Sherwood has focused on his wide range of philanthropic activities, as well as his business interests.

他于2020年加入 Revolut 董事会,协助监督其惊人增长,使其成为全球最有价值的金融科技公司之一。

He joined the Revolut board in 2020, helping oversee its stunning growth into one of the world's most valuable fintech companies.
