Charlie Mullins is the self-made millionaire who owns Pimlico plumbers. He has now left the UK to live a luxurious lifestyle in Spain. His reason for leaving was his frustration over the Labour Party’s tax policies. Mullins, who built his business from scratch, now resides in a £2 million villa in Marbella with his new girlfriend. The entrepreneur criticized the tax increases he faces despite having contributed £25 million to the UK over the years.
Mullins said that new tax policies were a deciding factor in his decision to move, calling them “tax grabs” that unfairly penalized hard-working people. Mullins plans to spend his time in Spain, Dubai and the UK on occasion. He insists that he won’t return to the UK permanently until a new party is elected, like Nigel Farage’s Reform Party.
Mullins’ departure highlights the ongoing debate about tax policies and their impact on high-earners. He remains vocal despite his departure about the treatment successful business owners receive from the government.
