It also means a child who lived with non-UK domiciled parents in the United Kingdom can be deemed domiciled by adulthood. Individuals who have previously claimed non-dom status will, therefore, pay tax on their worldwide income and gains, and be subject to UK inheritance tax (IHT) on their worldwide assets, in the same way as UK domiciled individuals. This means they will no longer be able to claim the remittance basis from this point onwards. The remittance basis of taxation - key points Deemed domicileįrom 6 April 2017, where a non-UK domiciled individual ('non-dom') has been resident in the United Kingdom for 15 or more of the last 20 tax years, they will be deemed domiciled in the United Kingdom for all taxes. Dividend income that is within the ‘allowance’ still counts towards an individual’s basic and higher rate limits. The dividend allowance does not reduce total income for tax purposes. From 6 April 2024, the allowance is reduced to GBP 500. The most common form of ‘savings income’ is interest, but certain other forms of income are also included.Ī dividend allowance applies to the first GBP 1,000 of an individual’s dividend income in 2023/24. ‘Savings income’ is the next slice down, and other income (such as earnings) will be the lowest slice. Note that dividends are always treated as the top slice of income and will be taxed at an individual's highest marginal tax rate ( see Dividend income in the Income determination section for rates specifically applicable to dividends). If non-savings income (which takes up the first ‘slice’ of income) is above this limit, then the 0% starting rate will not apply. * The 0% starting rate is for savings income only. Income tax bands and rates are as follows: Tax rate band The graduated rates of income tax vary slightly depending on whether the income is from earnings or investments. The net amount after allowances is usually referred to as an individual's taxable income. Most individuals can claim a personal allowance, unless they are claiming the remittance basis ( see below) or their income is over GBP 125,140. The main allowance is the personal allowance, which is GBP 12,570 in 2023/24. Tax is charged on total income (from all earned and investment sources) less certain deductions and allowances. Income tax is charged at graduated rates, with higher rates of income tax applying to higher bands of income. This means their non-UK income and capital gains are only taxed if they are remitted to or used in the United Kingdom. If an individual is resident but not domiciled (and not deemed domiciled) in the United Kingdom, they can elect to use the remittance basis of taxation. There are also special rules for income and capital gains tax where a person has become non-UK resident but returns to the United Kingdom within, broadly, five years, which are referred to as the temporary non-residence rules. In addition, where the asset is used for business purposes in the United Kingdom through a UK branch or agency, any gains are also subject to UK CGT. Gains in respect of UK residential property owned by non-UK residents have been subject to UK capital gains tax (CGT) at 28% for a number of years, and the charge to UK capital gains tax was extended to all UK property disposed of by non-UK residents and also shares in 'property-rich' non-UK companies from April 2019. If an individual is not a UK tax resident, they will usually be taxed on their UK-source income but will not generally be taxed on capital gains, other than in respect of UK property/'property-rich' companies or carried interest, even if the asset is located in the United Kingdom. If an individual is resident and domiciled in the United Kingdom, they will be taxed on their worldwide income and capital gains.
