Domicile and residence

To tax, or not to tax? International tax planning from the experts

When it comes to paying UK tax, establishing your residence and domicile status is essential.

The question of whether you are resident or domiciled in the UK can have a significant impact on your liability to personal taxes, such as income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.

The rules surrounding residence and domicile are extremely complex, and the law in this area is constantly evolving. What is more, issues surrounding these concepts are frequently the subject of tax litigation.

For these reasons, it is vital to seek professional advice if you are in any doubt as to your residence or domicile status.

At Albert Goodman, we are experienced at dealing with residence and domicile issues. When problems do arise, we seek to resolve them through careful planning, and negotiation with HM Revenue & Customs.
