Hi Hayley,
This webinar is a must-attend for individuals with international ties—especially those who have lived in the UK for 10 or more of the past 20 years, or are planning to move abroad.
From 6 April 2025, the UK has shifted from a domicile-based to a residence-based IHT regime, meaning long-term UK residents are now liable for IHT on their worldwide assets, regardless of their domicile status. Even after leaving the UK, your estate could remain exposed to IHT for up to 10 years under the new "tail rule."
This session will help attendees understand how to navigate these sweeping changes, avoid unexpected tax liabilities, and structure their affairs to protect overseas assets, trusts, and gifts from falling into the UK tax net.
If you're considering emigration or advising clients who are, this is your opportunity to get ahead of the curve before costly mistakes are made.
Topics covered:
- Basics of UK IHT and assets included
- Domicile/Residency
- Assets held in UK but owned by foreign companies
- Double taxation treaties
- Taxation of trusts - lifetime planning / will trusts
- Gifts
