This is an unrelentingly nonpolitical blog. The only comment I can make here about the recent vote in the United Kingdom to invoke Art. 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon (I invoke my right to ignore Twitterspeak and similar neologisms) is to note the opportunity for practitioners in the international and offshore fields to spend profitable years trying to prognosticate what the new tax regimes resulting therefrom will comprise, and how to maximize tax avoidance.
