BritCham Presents: Last Chance for Non-Doms

About the Event

The UK recently announced that it will remove its non-domiciled tax regime to introduce a fairer and more competitive system. This event will help non-UK domiciled families to understand the immediate steps they can take to preserve family assets and wealth.

WHO ARE NON-DOMICILES?

Non-domiciles (non-doms) are people who live in the UK and have permanent residencies in another country. Their non-dom status exempts them from paying taxes on income and capital gained abroad for up to 15 years after coming to the UK, provided none of this money is transferred into Britain.

WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THIS EVENT?

Our expert speakers from Sovereign Management Services, Sovereign Consultancy, Sovereign Trust (Channel Islands) and Spice Taxation will discuss the recently announced tax reforms for Non-Doms living in the UK.

The session will cover:

An overview of the changes.
What constitutes a non-dom status?
Who is affected by these reforms?
What can be done about the reforms?
The immediate steps that should be considered to help preserve family assets and wealth.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Families based in Singapore and the region who currently have a non-UK domicile status:
Either from being a completely non-UK domiciled family
Or a partly non-UK domiciled family, for example, a family with a non-domicile spouse.

Registration will begin at 8:30am. The event commences at 9:00am.
