I think some folks may very well benefit from the new proposals should they come into effect next April, assuming no changes to the proposals following a General Election later this year.
https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics...ch-2024-budgetUnder the current proposals of both the Conservative and Labour parties, ANYONE, including UK-originating expats, would be able to return to the UK after 10 years of non-UK tax residence, from April 6, 2025, and benefit from 4 years of tax-free foreign income and capital gains (FIG). The reforms will eliminate domicile as it applies to tax and replace it with a residence-based system. Additionally, UK inheritance tax will no longer be coupled to domicile, but residence instead. So anyone coming to or returning to the UK after 10 years of non-UK tax residence will not be subject to IHT until after 10 years of tax residence, but there will a 10 year tail for IHT if you leave the UK after that. This is especially good news for those who have permanently left the UK, since after 10 years of non-UK tax residence, there will be certainty of no liability for IHT. The differences in policy between the two parties announced so far only apply to current resident non-doms. So it is almost certain the archaic concept of domicile is gone for good from the tax system, and a much simpler and fairer residence-based system will be replacing it.
