Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between residency and domicile status?

+
-

Residency status refers to the place where an individual lives or resides for tax or legal purposes; whereas domicile status refers to an individual’s permanent home and intent to return to a specific country. Both factors can have significant implications for tax and legal matters. 

How can I determine my residency status?

+
-

A good starting point is to follow our guide on the UK’s Statutory Residence Test. Determining your status can be challenging, so please feel free to get in touch with one of our team if you’re struggling to establish a clear answer.

Am I eligible for non-dom status?

+

Eligibility for non-dom status depends on a range of different factors, including your current domicile, residence status and length of residence in the UK. This area of tax law can be complicated and often subject to evolving regulations and rule changes. We’d advise talking to one of our experienced tax professionals to determine your situation and eligibility.
