This webinar will discuss the current status of non-domiciled taxation in the United Kingdom, along with the proposed abolishment of this status. Our panel of international advisers will explain the current system and offer strategies to deal with the impending changes for residents and potential residents of the UK with links to the US.

Description

A non-dom is an individual who resides in the UK but is not deemed domiciled in the UK for tax purposes. These individuals can take advantage of the UK's remittance basis tax regime. Remittance basis taxation only taxes individuals on income from UK sources and certain other income brought into the UK. Foreign income and gains escape UK taxation.

In addition to income tax benefits, non-doms receive favorable inheritance tax benefits. There are caveats. After seven years of residency non-doms are charged £30,000 per year for claiming the remittance basis of taxation. This charge increases based on the number of years of residency.

Recently, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt stated that the non-dom tax regime will be phased out and replaced with a new regime beginning in April 2025. However, a general election is taking place on July 4th. It is widely expected that the opposition Labour Party will be elected to power. Among the changes, individuals residing in the UK for more than four years will be taxed the same as domiciled residents. International tax advisers with clients living in the UK or considering a move there must thoroughly understand how to plan for the changing UK taxation regime.

Listen as our panel of international tax and immigration advisers analyzes the current state of non-dom taxation in the UK and planning for the overhaul of this taxation regime.
