Business Class Asylum Seeker (n.)
A tax-bracket Olympian who earns six figures before breakfast but somehow qualifies for every grant, rebate, and relief scheme under the sun. Typically found complaining about “lazy people on benefits” while submitting their fifth R&D tax claim for an app that doesn’t work.
Master of the limited company shuffle, they employ themselves, invoice themselves, and occasionally furlough themselves — all while driving a Tesla bought through the business. They view the welfare state not as a safety net, but as a rewards program for the financially literate.

“Have you seen your sisters LinkedIn? Bragging about scaling her company and ‘creating opportunities’ — she’s the biggest business class asylum seeker I know. Claimed three COVID grants while leasing a Q5.”
