Furthermore, the Marchs have remained tax residents in the UK, so therefore helping to maintain public services through their taxation. And Goodwood Estate, which actually owns both the circuit and track, is also based in the UK, so also paying into the Revenues coffers.
And that's, in a small measure, to yours and mine benefit.

I would agree with all that. If you had seen the TV programme about the Goodwood Estate a year or two ago you would know that it was not exactly a goldmine.
Sadly, Lord March's father passed away shortly before Revival, so no doubt the HMRC parasites will have their sticky fingers in there too.
