International Private Clients

Our private client team specialise in international tax matters.  The advice we provide has a particular focus on the Foreign Income and Gains tax regime, long-term residents, non-domiciled (“non-dom”) , dual-resident and expatriate (“expat”) taxpayers.

The UK’s tax regime is complex; however internationally mobile and non-dom taxpayers can qualify for special tax reliefs which may reduce their UK tax exposure significantly.

From 6 April  2025 the non-dom tax regime  will be abolished and replaced with the new Foreign Income and Gains ('FIG') rules.

We are well placed to advise non-dom's on the transition to these new rules, alongside advising on FIG more generally.

It is important that you take specialist advice in order to ensure you take full advantage of all tax planning opportunities. It is better to consider any planning opportunities relevant to your circumstances in advance, in particular before moving to the UK.
