International private client tax

For those with interests in multiple jurisdictions, different international obligations, regulations and procedures can be daunting. Tax-efficient investments or vehicles and structures such as Trusts are often not recognised in other countries. Similarly, while it might be advisable to structure your affairs in a certain way for UK tax purposes, this could cause unforeseen problems in other jurisdictions.

As a fully integrated international network, we work holistically as a global team to advise individuals with multijurisdictional issues, carefully considering the best way to protect a client's wealth and comply with local regulations. Supported by this international network, clients can feel assured that the advice given is indicative of a global mindset.

Where these implications are considered to be unfair, reliefs can be introduced to mitigate some of the consequences. Alternatively, these transitional provisions can be used to influence taxpayer behaviour.

Changes to the UK non-dom tax regime

Currently, an individual's UK tax position is influenced by their domicile status. Under the proposed changes the concept of domicile will be disassociated from an individual’s income and capital gains tax exposure and replaced with a residence-based test.

What is the four-year FIG regime?

As part of the Budget announcements, new arrivals to the UK will be eligible for a new Foreign Income and Gains Regime (the “FIG Regime”). This is set to apply from 6 April 2025. For new arrivals to the UK, the regime could be very attractive.

Changes to the taxation of offshore trusts

Alongside the shake-up to the UK’s longstanding non-domicile regime, significant changes are to be made to the taxation of offshore trusts. Interestingly, the current proposal will put many offshore trusts back into the same position they were in before the changes introduced in 2017 and trustees will need to consider the implications for themselves and beneficiaries.
