Regional Tax Considerations
- • Scotland: Different income tax rates and bands
- • Wales: Different income tax rates starting 2019
- • England & N. Ireland: Standard UK rates apply
Special Considerations
- • Split year treatment available for year of departure/arrival
- • Non-dom remittance basis abolished from 6 April 2025; new UK residents after 10+ consecutive years of non-UK residence may instead claim the 4-year Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime on eligible foreign income and gains
- • Domicile no longer determines Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax liability; for Inheritance Tax, a residence-based 'long-term resident' test applies from 6 April 2025 (UK tax resident in 10 of the previous 20 tax years), replacing the old deemed-domicile rule
