Chukotsky governor Roman Abramovich can become a citizen of Great Britain

Roman Abramovich took another step to take root in England. Perhaps he decided to become a British subject, writes The Times (translation on the website inopressa.ru ).

At first, in the UK, Abramovich had a daughter, then he bought a Chelsea club, and then was declared the second richest person of Great Britain. Now he may become a citizen, the newspaper writes.

The Russian oligarch-billionaire, which recently received $ 13.7 billion from the sale of his oil company Sibneft, in recent months rewrote all his British property, previously registered with an unknown Caribbean company, to his own name.

According to the latest registration data, both Abramovich London houses are one for Londes-Square, bought for $ 16.7 million in June, and the second on Chester-Square, which is estimated at $ 8.5 million, as well as the Sussex estate, which cost $ 10 million in 2000-now recorded in his name.

According to rumors, the 38-year-old Red Roman, who invested more than $ 300 million in the Chelsea club, is thinking about applying to British citizenship and demonstrating his fidelity to the country, officially living in it, writes The Times.

Abramovich is estimated at almost $ 18.7 billion - of course, not a single Minister of Internal Affairs will dare to refuse the government to levy such a huge income tax. Probably will not dare. But, given the last month, Abramovich was approved by President Putin Governor of the remote region Chukotka for another 5 years, the change of citizenship is unlikely to happen soon, the newspaper suggests.

It is more likely that Abramovich’s advisers are trying to get around the new trick of the income and fee, according to which houses registered with offshore companies are considered tax taxed.

However, Great Britain can still benefit from billions of Russian. Roman Abramovich shows interest in Queen's Club, an exclusive tennis club in the west of London, put up for sale in September, the newspaper writes.
