  > a centuries-old tax loophole, abolished in April, that catered to the global rich. The nondomiciled—or non-dom status, as it is known—allowed foreigners living in the U.K. to pay tax only on what they earned domestically. Profits made abroad were ignored unless brought into the U.K.

I don't understand. Why is this a loophole? Why is money earned abroad and kept abroad taxable not by a foreign government but by the UK government?

For virtually every other jurisdiction, natural persons pay tax where they live, not where they source their income.

If I happen to work for a foreign corporation, I don’t get to skip paying tax.
