If you live or work between countries, your tax position can quickly become complicated. Residency and domicile status affect your liability for UK tax on income, capital gains and assets held abroad – and the rules can be detailed and difficult to navigate.

We help individuals, expats and non-domiciled (non-dom) clients understand their UK tax obligations and plan efficiently. Our advice is practical and easy to follow, so you’ll know how your residency affects your tax affairs, how to stay above board and how to avoid unnecessary liabilities.

Why Residency and Domicile Matter

Your residency and domicile status determine how UK tax applies to your income, assets and investments – for example, whether you’re taxed on worldwide income or only UK income, how Capital Gains Tax (CGT) applies to overseas assets, and whether you can use the remittance basis for non-UK income. Getting it wrong can mean unexpected tax bills, double taxation or penalties. We help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
