Non Domiciled Status

Are you an overseas national but living in the UK? Are you taking full advantage of the tax reliefs available to you as a non-domiciled UK resident?

To be a non-dom (or non-domiciled) tax resident in the UK, you will typically be a foreign national living in the UK. While you may be considered a tax resident, your domicile will typically remain as your country of birth. The UK has a special tax regime which applies to individuals who are not domiciled in the UK and PetersonSims can offer you expert advice to mitigate your exposure to these UK taxes.

Under this regime, a taxpayer can :

• opt to be taxed on the arising basis where you declare your offshore and UK income
• be taxed on the remittance basis where only foreign income brought into the UK is taxed in the UK (subject to very specific and complex rules). Also, capital gains tax on both UK and non UK assets will be applied.
• be advised on inheritance tax planning, including the effect of the UK deemed domiciled rules
