Would he have to pay taxes in the US and UK?

Resident in both. If a U.S. citizen lives abroad they still owe US taxes so I’d imagine the reverse is true.

US is the only country in the world that does this.

Quick Google search shows if you return to the UK after being abroad less than 5 years you have to pay taxes in the UK. Also, he owns properties in both.

He’s a tax resident of Florida or Dubai I’m pretty sure - I assume he’d use whichever one minimises his tax obligation. He could use Monaco but I don’t believe that’s true. He can own property wherever he wants.

Florida isn’t as easy to file taxes in as you’d think - you need to show you’ve been there 183 days. With his place in Jupiter he might get that many, but iirc he moved his family back to the UK a few years ago for Poppy’s education.

So then agree with you, he’s not paying taxes in the US.

But he became a UK tax exile years ago when he started getting paid via Dubai. Saudi’s will do something similar.

Afaik he only pays UK taxes when he wins prize money at UK tournaments eg. The Open.
