STOP PRESS: The remittance basis is abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. The legislation is included in FA 2025. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

Introduction

UK resident individuals who are non-UK domiciled under general law can, up to 2024/25, benefit from the remittance basis of taxation which allows for relief from UK tax for non-UK sources of income which are not brought in (or remitted) to the UK in any way.

Note that the non-UK domicile basis of taxation is abolished from 2025/26 onwards. Full details are set out in the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note. Most of the following guidance therefore relates to years up to 2024/25. The potential for planning via the use of dual contracts, already limited as explained below, is therefore greatly reduced from 2025/26 onwards.
