Not true. This is only true for US which taxes your global income.

Most of the world taxes only income earned in that country.

Sure, because you earned it your country, and not in the country of domicile of foreign corporation.

EDIT: Correction, I see now that most countries do tax worldwide income, just that they have DTA so you offset taxes paid abroad.

We (the UK) have a very extensive set of double taxation treaties too. The point of non-dom status is that it doesn't even matter if your earnings were taxed elsewhere: they're still not liable in the UK.
