Our international tax lawyers advise individuals resident in the UK but domiciled elsewhere and individuals not resident in the UK on all aspects of UK taxation.
In light of recent changes and further proposed changes to tax law in the UK, UK resident non-domiciliaries face complex challenges. Our specialist international tax lawyers help clients protect their assets while dealing with these changes. Our team advises on the implications of being taxed on the remittance basis and on planning clients can undertake prior to becoming deemed domiciled for inheritance tax purposes.
Our international tax lawyers advise non-residents who are planning to move to the UK on the UK residency rules and how to organise their affairs in a tax efficient manner prior to moving.
We also advise non-residents on structures for the protection of their worldwide assets. In particular, we can advise on the interaction between forced heirship rules and the creation of succession planning vehicles such as offshore trusts. We work with high net worth and ultra high net worth clients around the world, including clients in Europe, the US, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Australia.
Our international tax lawyers provide extensive legal advice to those who own, or who are looking to purchase, real estate in the UK. We ensure our clients understand the implications of personal ownership, as well as ownership through various different structures.
