Abolition of the remittance basis of taxation

UK resident individuals who are not domiciled or deemed domiciled in the UK currently have the choice to pay tax on the remittance basis (meaning UK tax is only paid on foreign income and gains to the extent that these are brought to the UK in the tax year) or the arising basis (meaning UK tax is payable on worldwide income and gains arising in the tax year).

From 6 April 2025, the remittance basis of taxation is expected to be abolished. This is to be replaced by a new regime linked to the number of years of UK residency.

Individuals will not be taxed in the UK on their foreign income and gains for the first four tax years of UK residency,
