Thank you Philip. Ah. Double taxation generally means you don’t have to pay tax again at your resident country. Or the tax you paid at the source country can be used to offset tax liability at the host country. Lots...

If Chris owns only 6 of the flats n I own the other 2, wud that make me the only qualifying leaseholder with more than 50% n thus able to enforce Right to Enfranchise? (Presumably, the same logic applies if...
