Tax-Free Rock 'n' Roll: How The Stones & Led Zeppelin Beat the UK's 98% Tax Rate
In the swinging 1960s and ‘70s, Britain’s top musicians weren’t just making headlines for their music—they were also fleeing the country to avoid its eye-watering 98% tax rate.
In this episode of Only Tax Crimes in the Building, we dive into how The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and other rock legends used tax havens like France and the Bahamas to keep more of their hard-earned millions. We’ll explore how Keith Richards smuggled tea across borders, why Jimmy Page saw tax exile as "creative freedom," and how the UK government finally cracked down.
Was this financial survival or rockstar hypocrisy? Tune in to find out. 🎸💰
