43. UK domicile & tax changes: what you need to know about the changes to worldwide assets

Richard Taylor - Plan First Wealth

There are tax changes coming in the UK - new rules replacing the domicile system with a tax residency-based system. This could affect your inheritance tax exposure, among others if you’ve been out of the UK for over 10 years. 

To find out what it all means, Richard Taylor welcomes back Aidan Grant, a partner specialising in Tax and Trust Estates Planning at the law firm Collier Bristow. Aidan advises cross-border families and expats on navigating complex taxation and estate planning issues. The new rules in the UK are certainly complex. 

Plus, for those moving back to the UK or coming for the first time after being abroad for over 10 years, you can leverage the FIG regime; it allows a four-year tax exemption on foreign income and gains. This can be strategically used to manage assets and liquidate investments without UK tax burdens. How do you do it? Aidan and Richard discuss.
