James Blunt is to move to Switzerland as a tax exile.
The balladeer, a former soldier who shot to fame with You're Beautiful, is now a millionaire and is moving to make the most of lenient Swiss tax laws as well as for the ski-ing! Other super-rich stars such as Phil Collins have also sought tax havens in Switzerland.
Officials in the ski resort of Verbier confirmed Blunt is registered with the tax office there. His album Back to Bedlam earned him a cool £5million. No wonder he wants to hang on to it... |
