We will support you on all aspects related to residence, domicile and the structuring of your assets to include segregation of funds.
Our advisers can help you determine the right residency and domicile status, ensuring you stay fully compliant and allowing you to benefit tax efficiencies.
When moving to or away from the UK, the tax year is usually split into two parts: a non-resident part and a resident part. Managing the split-year process is essential to ensure you only pay UK tax on foreign income based on the time you were living here.
We can help clients maintain their overseas bank accounts properly and advise on the clear segregation of funds.
UK tax can be extremely complex for those that don’t have a good understanding of the system. Our advisers will guide you through your tax reporting obligations and make sure you never overpay on tax.
From 5 April 2025, the remittance basis of taxation has been abolished. We can help clients navigate how the new regime applies to them and take advantage of the reliefs that may apply depending on their circumstances.

Residency and Domicile is a complex area of tax law that has a significant impact on your tax obligations and estate planning. Every country has its own tax rules, rates and exemptions, and determining your status is crucial to ensure you are taxed correctly – whilst enabling you to take advantage of available tax benefits.

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. Domicile has been abolished since 5 April 2025 and tax is now based on residency.
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.
Non-dom status has now been abolished effective 5 April 2025.
