Amanda Ashworth, 43, packed up her and her partner’s things and settled in Dubai in 2020 with their three children – and now says they are £80,000 better off each year by leaving the UK.
The family divide their time between the UAE, India and the UK, where they home educate their children while running their business.
There was no single tipping point that prompted her family to leave the UK, Amanda said.
Instead, it was years of rising taxes and household bills gradually eroding what had once been a comfortable income.
Before moving abroad, the family were living in Cambridge, where Amanda ran a small ecommerce business while her partner, Mike, worked as an IT consultant.
