## Summary

The article reports a rise in British residents moving to Monaco, including entrepreneurs and investors who say they are concerned about UK inheritance tax and the impact it could have on their families and businesses. It presents their departures as part of a wider trend and describes the choices behind them, while also noting that tax is only one reason some families give for relocating.

Monaco now has about 3,100 British residents, nearly twice as many as a decade ago, and they make up around 8 per cent of its 39,000 residents. The article says the average British newcomer is 44, and cites property averaging £56,000 per square metre, with prices and rents rising; one agent says more people in their late 30s and 40s are arriving with young families.
