I walked away on a plane. My efforts to make a living as a freelance sole proprietor business operator (tech support) were too hard to do on my budget without access to reliable transport for my marketing and services. Too many people just kow-tow to the claims of jurisdiction and push your costs up to collect taxes on your behalf in Australia and not any different in the UK either these days. This made it impossible for me to break out of the loop of poverty and welfare dependance. Life's been harder without that in some ways but the sense of freedom has massively increased.

Stand your ground if it suits your business model but not everyone is making money the way you do in reach of these usurers.
