   Pay up and get the hell out.  The British elites and snobs are much more your

   Conrad Black loses appeal on tax ruling   
      
      
   TORONTO - Conrad Black has lost his appeal to overturn a federal Tax Court   
   decision that says he owes back taxes from 2002.   
      
   The Federal Court of Appeal says, despite his arguments otherwise, Black was a   
   Canadian resident at the time and that means he owes money to the Canada   
   Revenue Agency.   
      
   The court also said Black should pay taxes on all income earned outside the   
   United Kingdom, not just his Canadian income.   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   The decision follows an appeal filed earlier this year by Black's lawyers who   
   argued the former media baron was, for tax purposes, a resident of the United   
   Kingdom in 2002.   
      
   In a decision last month, the appeal court dismissed the case and said Black   
   would be responsible for related costs.   
      
   The courts did not disclose how much Black may owe in back taxes, though the   
   government has estimated the amount of income and benefits Black owes taxes on   
   may be as high as $5.1 million.   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   Black has battled with Canadian authorities over a number of issues since his   
   release from a U.S. prison in 2012.   
      
   Still outstanding is an Ontario Securities Commission case seeking to ban Black   
   from ever serving as a director or officer of a public company in the province.   
      
   In the United States, Black served 37 months for convictions on fraud and   
   obstruction of justice relating to his time as the head of media giant   
   Hollinger.  An appeal court tossed out two other fraud convictions against him   
   and against two other Hollinger executives.
