Dragon James Caan is fired up by work and philosophy The Guardian
The Dragon's Den is always tense: Will the would-be entrepreneur fluff their lines? Will they know the answers to the probing questions posed by Paphitis, Meaden and Co? Will the dragons stump up the cash without demanding too big a slice of the business?
But when filming for the eighth series starts on Monday, the atmosphere may be more than usually stressful because two of the dragons, James Caan and Duncan Bannatyne, have been breathing fire at each other over Caan's non-dom tax status, which allows the Pakistan-born, but UK-raised, entrepreneur to avoid paying UK tax on income or capital gains earned overseas.
So incensed is Bannatyne, he has said he will no longer invest alongside Caan – even though they have teamed up on three investments, including an ingenious cable-joining device which has been the Den's most successful investment.
The tartan dragon says Caan's London-based private equity business is owned by a Cayman Islands company and he is "not going to invest alongside anyone on Dragons' Den if the money is coming from an offshore company".
