It considers how many days you spend in the UK, where your home is and your family ties.<\/p>\n<p>Domicile is not the same as residency.<\/p>\n<p>Your domicile is your permanent home, where you intend to return to live at some point in the future, even if you are not living there at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UK Resident:<\/strong><br \/>\nYou live in the UK and consider this your permanent home.<br \/>\nYou are taxed on your UK income and capital gains.<br \/>\nYou are also taxed on your foreign income and capital gains.<br \/>\nThis is known as the \u201carising\u201d form of taxation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non UK Domiciled:<\/strong><br \/>\nYou live in the UK but do not consider this to be your permanent home, which is somewhere you intend to return to at some stage.<br \/>\nYou are taxed on your UK income and capital gains.<br \/>\nYou are also taxed on your foreign income and capital gains and can choose whether this will only be on the part you bring into the UK.<br \/>\nThis is known as the \u201cremittance\u201d form of taxation.<\/p>\n<p>The remittance tax rules can be complicated and can vary according to individual circumstances. For instance, there are some elements of foreign income, gains or property deriving from them that are not taxed in the UK and even HMRC\u2019s Statutory Residence Test documentation runs up to 105 pages!<\/p>\n<p>At HA Law, we have extensive experience on advising resident and non-domiciled clients on their tax obligations. We offer a free consultation to discuss the best options to manage and minimise these, so for the best professional advice please contact us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A QUICK GUIDE TO RESIDENT VS.
