Non Dom Tax Saving Tactics

This popular guide explains the UK non-domicile tax rules in plain English. It also reveals exactly how you can use your special status to save thousands of pounds in income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.

The non-domicile tax rules contain several important exemptions that allow UK non-domiciled individuals to keep money offshore and tax free or make tax-free remittances.

Combined with other UK tax loopholes, non-doms and their families can still hold large overseas bank deposits, share and property portfolios and holiday homes and pay very little or no UK tax.
