Your guide to understanding domicile
What is it and why is it so important?
Domicile is an important concept to consider whenever you are tax planning, and especially if you have ties in the UK and overseas.
Domicile ultimately defines whether or not you’ll be caught in the UK Inheritance Tax net, and likely to face a possible, and substantial, 40% tax charge on your UK (and even worldwide) assets.
There are other consequences too. All the while you’re UK tax resident, your exposure to UK Income Tax and UK Capital Gains Tax is ruled by your domicile status.
Understanding domicile, and how it affects your wealth, is a crucial step in any solid financial plan. This guide is here to help.
