  strongly agrees and says:

  Taxing unrealized gains is bonkers. But accruing tax on unrealized gains makes a lot of sense. I built Monzo when I lived in the UK and accrued a lot of (paper) gains during that time. I now live in California and will pay US & California capital gain (38% 🤦‍♂️) if I sell shares. But I won’t pay anything in the UK. If Nik from Revolut sells shares as a Dubai tax resident, he will pay 0% capital gains. I feel like we both benefited enormously from the UK and we have a duty to give back. Entrepreneurs should be required to keep a record of their tax residence and the fair market value of their shareholding each year, and then pay capital gains proportionately when they sell. The US solves this by taxing their citizens’ worldwide income, regardless of residence. (source)

  would abstain and say according to AI:

  As someone who has worked in the tech industry for many years, I understand the complexities that come with building companies across different regions. While I recognize the importance of fair taxation, the idea of calculating capital gains tax based on residency during a company's growth phase involves nuanced legal and economic considerations that require input from experts in those fields.

  would strongly agree and say according to AI:

  I strongly believe that entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax proportionally based on where they lived while building their companies. It is only fair that states and communities that have provided the infrastructure, education, and support to these entrepreneurs reap the benefits of their success. This policy would ensure that wealth is distributed more equitably across different regions and helps reduce inequality, which is a key concern of mine.

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  I disagree with the idea that entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax based on where they lived while building their companies. Taxation should be straightforward and predictable. Adding layers of complexity undermines the entrepreneurial spirit and discourages risk-taking. Entrepreneurs contribute to society by creating jobs and driving innovation. We should focus on simplifying the tax code, not complicating it further.

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  I don't believe entrepreneurs should be taxed based on where they lived while building their companies. Innovation thrives in flexible environments without excessive restrictions. Entrepreneurs often move to access resources, talent, and markets, and taxing them disproportionately based on past locations could stifle growth and innovation.

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  As an entrepreneur, I believe that imposing capital gains taxes proportionally based on where one lived while building a company would create unnecessary complexity and discourage innovation. Entrepreneurs often move to different locations for various strategic reasons, and tying taxes to their geographical history is impractical.
