If you talk about being proud to be British when there is a reward up for grabs, you would think he might want to pay taxes in the UK. Unless of course what he meant was he'll be proud to have a British honour.
I'm surprised with your business skills that you haven't already pushed the Novo Nordisk foundation into second place.
I don’t live in the UK and IIRC nor do you.
I pay taxes where they are due; for me that is three different countries. If I’m right and you live outside the UK, then you aren’t paying tax back home.
Earnings made by British people outside the UK are not liable for tax in the UK until they are repatriated. I don’t ring up HMRC and ask them if I can pay tax on earnings my Australian earnings. Even if I did, tax would not be due. And I certainly don’t ring them up and say “I’ve paid tax on my Australian income according to the law where I live. Can I please pay British tax too because I’m proud to be British”.
Hamilton’s tax situation must be massively complex; he earns taxable income in at least 20 countries, all of which treat tax differently. Even if he did live in the UK, he would not have any liability for tax on his income made outside the UK as long as he didn’t bring it in to the UK.
