Thanks Dianne. I had spotted this change and it's nice to have you confirm it. I am currently planning to leave the UK and hoping to survive for 10 years thereafter in order to protect my Children's inheritance from HMRC.
@@B1ker1965 As I pointed out above, the best option for any Brit wishing to protect their hard earned wealth is to move to the Isle of Man - no inherent tax, no CGT, no company tax, regular NHS service, no red tape, no application to move there - not even passport control between the UK and the island, just hop on the Ferry and you are there - as a UK resident you have the right to live and invest in the Isle of Man. Best of all, there is virtually no crime and you won’t get attacked or robbed by a third world government.
Well yes. The indoctrinated Left have been following the Kalergi Plan for 30 years. How can Zionist Corporate Psychopaths control elections, if high-IQ constructive people are still there? They need them diluted and pushed out. Low-IQ racist cultures are to be coddled and welcomed in. but the Racism and Crimes censored. ie Everything Academics warned about 40 years ago.
Its part of the big M*arxist plan to replace the white population. I'd suggest you listen to the likes of Douglas Murray who's been writing and speaking about this for a long time.

Thank you that’s excellent news, I am a Non Dom Brit Expat residing in Cyprus for the past twelve years. Now I just have the Cypriot taxation system to worry about when I die, well I won’t be worrying about it as I will be dead.
Likewise, been in Scandinavia for 30 years, high enough taxes here but my plans of ever returning “home” are put on permanent ice. Luckily sold our property in UK 10 years ago.
i am currently a non-dom in the UK. The changes of this regime have made me decide to leave the UK by the 5th of April. I will not allow HMRC to steal from my heirs a whopping 40% of everything I own ...
40% is just the start. If it's a pension your beneficiares are inheriting, they then have to pay up to 45% income tax on top (of the 40% inheritance tax) as they draw the income.
"Stealing" - you mean giving back to the country and stopping cash and property hoarding. You're dead - why should your kids get anything beyond a small amount?
@@andyonions7864are we sure that the income tax will also be due? I was thinking that maybe because of the new 40% IHT you would not have to pay the income tax?? I don’t know the answer.
@@DavidSmith-do6jiyes, the estate of the person that has died will potentially pay 40% Inheritance Tax on any private pension fund balance, and the recipient of the estate then also has to pay their marginal rate of income tax whenever they draw from the fund, which could be as high as 45% - but even if they are a basic rate taxpayer it will be 20%
Thanks .. it would be worth doing a video for the other way around .. i.e. a British expat arriving back into the UK after a period of more than 10 years away and what is there IHT situation being the opposite of those with a tail leaving. Thanks
Thanks Diane. I had pondered whether the changes would have this effect but it seemed too good to be true. I thought there'd be some catch for UK Domiciles overseas. Thanks for clarifying. I'm 10 years non-UK resident TOMORROW!! No IHT on my estate to reduce my 3 kids' inheritance. I'll continue working a few years longer as it's for their benefit and not Reeves'! Thanks.
I've often wondered whether non-dom status still counts if you haven't informed HMRC, instead just left the UK to live elsewhere while still maintaining a UK address (friend or relative) .
One question: With this change, does it mean that non-resident, British citizens continue to receive the regular personal allowances (which, up to now, have been available to non-resident, domiciled individuals)? This is relevant, as there are many ex-pat Brit's living or working abroad, with UK income (such as a house that is rented) as, up to now, such individuals receive the regular UK personal allowances. Or, from 2025, will they be taxed as if they were a non-domiciled, non-resident? A similar question arises with the capital gains rules and, potentially, even with the concept of prime residence relief. Any changes there?
Very clear thanks. I’ve been living and working outside of the uk for 18years with a non dom non resident spouse. The old tax treatment for her was so unfair if something happened to me. But it seems now this is all cleared up. I read through the HMrc website. Which is actually very informative 👍
👍👍 I left the UK some 20 years ago, so this change is very good news. In the previous system I would have had to return to my house in the UK, and live in it for minimum of six months to avoid IHT Robbery! With the new system, that no longer applies, I hope! .
@@Barry2024-c1r Any property transaction is automatically reported to HMRC. A few decades ago, a Friend bought a property, for cash, [silly girl] and shortly afterwards, the taxman wanted to know how she had popped up over £50,000 to buy it. Then they had a serious discussion on taxes she owed! .
I expect that the UK economy will see a lot of outflow from UK pension funds to overseas economies. The uk gov would still get their income tax on withdrawals... I wonder if you could move a pension from the UK to a country with a more favourable tax regime? Then the UK government would get no income and no iht
What about income tax? All my pensions are taxed by HMRC before I receive them. I haven’t been back to the U.K. FOR 5 years and never intend to return.
Scenario. I live outside the UK for the tail period - and I have property and pension assets in the UK - and checkout abroad. Does this mean I will not be IHT liable on any of my UK assets? Does this require any length of stay in one country - or can I move around any number of non UK countries? Can I return to the UK for a short period without breaking the tail? If so, how long/often?
I don't think you can return to the UK for more than 29 days ever again, but the other benefits seem to be maintainable regardless of where else you go
All the UK rules are on the GOV website. You can return to uk for certain number of days depending on your ties and still remain nonUK tax resident. But you raise an interesting question wrt being a UK tax resident for say one year (say year 8) in a 10 year tail - what happens then?
Just another layer of complication to the already complicated UK tax system. The world is simplifying, this doesn't help. They might as well scrap the entire tax code and create something easy to interprete, that's how to compete against West Asia
Diane i always wonder if inheritance could be scrapped when we have a change of government please god in the future . I recall the Conservatives touched on this and Remform are keen to scrap inheritance .
This might make things simpler for me as a Brit living in Denmark (I've been here for 30 years, which is longer than I've lived in the UK). There's two points here, what I might inherit myself and what I testament to others. If I only have to pay inheritance tax in Denmark, it should be a simpler state of affairs!
Is it retrospective in terms of the 'tail' year-count? I mean, if I've been out of the UK and tax-resident in another country for 10+ years already, as of today, and I die shortly after the rules come in in a few months' time, do my heirs avoid IHT?
When I drew up will quite a few year ago the solicitor specifically said that they were not interested in the overseas business investments that I have. They are hence not covered in the will. The same firm of solicitors are the executor of the will. I do hold a will in the country where the investments are held. Is the solicitor wrong?
I'm confused. Are you talking about expat beneficiaries of a relative who lived in the UK ( or named in a Will), are no longer liable to pay inheritance tax to HMRC, if lived abroad for more than 10 years?
Hi thank you for the interesting update. I am still confused though , if you leave the UK and inform HMRC that you no longer wish to be taxed under UK but rather the country you have moved too does this 10 year tail still apply. For example I am a UK citizen and I have Portuguese residency and due to the 40% Pension IHT announced in the last budget I am thinking of going back permanently as there is no IHT liability for Children there. If I relocate all my pension pot and other assets does this 10 year taper still apply ?.
Great video. I left the uk many years ago. My dad says I cant even inherit his house as I must have been living in the uk for at least 3 years before that. Is this still true?
One thing I am not 100% clear on is: does this new rule apply retroactively (i.e. if you (UK dom, lived all your life in the UK) left the UK in March 2022, and have been non-UK-resident for 3 years as of April 2026, do those 3 non-resident years "count" towards your 10 years, leaving 7 more years to go), or is it 10 years from April 2026 onwards?
Very interesting. But what about countries with a Double Taxation Agreement with the United Kingdom. I am a British expatriate living in Hong Kong (SAR) and this does have such an Agreement signed circa 2010/2011. I am planning for death. My wife and I own two properties - one in the UK , and the other in Hong Kong, and we have a daughter born in the UK, but working in Hong Kong. Hence curiosity in this topic. The problem with going abroard permanently is that Pensions become frozen.
🌟 One of the things that used to prove UK Domicile and your liability to pay death duties, was your wish to be buried in the UK. Under the new residency rules, If you are a resident overseas and you die overseas, can your ashes now be returned to the UK to be interned in a UK Church without it effecting your Residency status and your liability to pay Death Duties? Does a desire to be buried in the uk potentially affect the “tails” (time lines) you describe in your video?
It’s anything but a stupid question. Who checks? When a British Citizen passes away overseas the coroner records the death and that triggers the overseas system to see that he/she was a British Passport holder. The local British representative is informed (embassy, consulate etc) if that is not possible (eg on a ship) then a message is sent to the UK coroner to inform them that the death has occurred and HMRC is informed. If the deceased had UK assets then there is the issue of probate etc and the HMRC will be involved. In the UK the Church will not allow internment without the appropriate paperwork and they also register the burial and enter it in their systems. So again I ask the question, previously a wish to be buried in the Uk changed your deemed domicile status and that in turn incurred death duties. Under the new residency system will a desire to be buried in the UK affect your residency status and potentially your liability to pay death duties?
Who checks you ask. HMRC. Research what happened to Richard Burton V Peter Sellers estates. Both were residents of Switzerland. On death however Burton was returned to the valleys of Wales as per his wishes and as a result his estate paid CTT (as it was in those days). Not a lot of people know that!!:)
Surely this requires the cooperation of the law in the country that you move to. For example, if I moved to some country without a Tax Treaty with the UK and then die after say 3 years of the 10 year tail then that country might insist that my estate is taxed by them regardless of what the UK says.
The problem here is that, until you clear the "tail", your estate could be taxed in both countries - and there is no "double taxation relief" for inheritance taxes.
OK - So someone like me - who was working abroad from 2001 to 2013, then in the UK from start of November 2013 to end of May 2023 (so less than 10 calendar years), and who's now working abroad again... - would have no "tail" - or given it's tax years, would the split years (2013/2014 and 2023/2024) count as full years for IHT purposes meaning I have 11 tax years, so do have a "tail" of 3 years? Then the question becomes if that 3 years is from when I left the UK (end of May 2023), or 3 years from the end of the tax year when I left (so April 2024). Admittedly I'm not planning on dying any time soon, but this could seriously curtail how much time I spend in the UK after I retire.
Does the 10 year rule coming in April 2025 mean if someone formally exits the UK tax regime before then that they will only be bound by the existing 3 year tail ?
Interesting but not sure that I followed it fully. I’ll give it another listen! But put simply, if I die in France after having my residency in France for 10 years or more, are you saying that I don’t pay IHT on UK assets such as property and pension pots? If so, that sounds too good to be true, with the obvious major caveat that the French droits to succession would of course apply. I might welcome a 1:1 on this although I don’t know if you offer that. Thanks anyway.
Hmm an inheritance tax "solution" that requires living even longer than 7 years (for those of us who have been resident in the UK for more than 20 years).
This is excellent news but from what you describe and my understanding it’s a bit of a cliff edge. Up to the day before 10years you are liable for IHT and the day after you are not. The 7 year arrangement of gifting was progressive as far as the percentage of IHT applicable. Perhaps the consultation period for this improved residency arrangement will allow a softer reducing percentage transition to occur from a given year of leaving the UK.
I moved to Vietnam one year ago after living and working all my life in England. I have no assets at all left in England. Last year I received a tax rebate. I am 58 years old and retired in Vietnam. How, if at all, does this affect me? I'm not working at all. I am living off of my private pension.
Be like Sweden it’s really simple. You can only not pay Swedish tax, if you are only in Sweden for 30 days in any six month period( a day is any part of a day). So if you arrive late Friday night stay Saturday and Sunday and leave at 1am on Monday, that is 4 days. No exceptions made.
That's not how Swedish tax residency works, at least not for non-Swedes. A Brit (or other non-EU citizen) can own a home in Sweden and spend 90 days of 180 days (rolling) without risk of being considered tax resident in Sweden.
The answer to your question depends on if the inheritance tax rules in the new country are better than the U.K. also , what would I loose out on ? Examples would have been helpful . 😊
What are the tax implications if any on taxes other than inheritance tax?. I have my private pension paid in to my uk bank and opted to receive it tax paid to hmrc. Does this mean from April I no longer have to pay this tax as I’m a non resident in the uk?, or wouldn’t if it was paid into my Taiwanese bank account?.
Just amazed, and slightly shocked, that so many people seem intent on basing THEIR retirement on what they can leave for their children. We intend living where we want to and enjoying the fruits of OUR labour. What's left over, the kids can have. They've already had a great start in life but I'll be damned if we feel obliged to live somewhere less than ideal simply to avoid paying tax. Gifting works plus they can get a relatively large lump sum from the main home when we're both gone. Unless you literally have millions, in which case a trust is advised, you might as well just enjoy life and spend it!
I'm non UK tax resident for >10 years. What will happen to my non dom wifes status after the change? Currently she has the £325k limit rather than no IHT for UK wives. Does this limit go away too?
If you die whilst living abroad, your heirs are also living abroad and they inherit foreign assets how would HMRC enforce any of their rules? Of course if your assets are in precious metals and crypto they won't even know anyway whether you live in Dubai or Devon.
Well it's the Labour Party/WEF at the core...and the 'Politics of Narcissist Envy'. Constructive Empathetic people are targeted, and Destructive Narcissistic people are coddled.
Hi there very interesting. So I wish to retire in Thailand but I’m going to move all my money to my Thai bank account so what happens then. Regards nick
This refers to Inheritance Tax. It's not clear to me if they are talking about the deceased or the beneficiaries (the people you leave the money to) of the will. If it's the deceased, then the question might be if your beneficiaries resident in the UK? If they are and HMRC becomes aware that they have received the money, they can still catch you. Depending on how much cash your talking about here, you might want to also research the tax implications under Thai law. Thry have brought in a law that says ANY monies transferred to Thailand are counted as income and to be taxed accordingly. I don't know the details yet, it's new and they don't release things in one go the way the UK govt does.
@ ok thanks. There is double tax system between the uk and Thailand which it states Thailand cannot tax you on money that’s already been taxed. Regards nick
My take on it is that deemed domicile and domicile as a concept is out of the window. And so if you want your ashes returned to Ol' Blighty that's your choice with no IHT repercussions. I'm not a tax advisor but based on the video that's what I'm hearing. And it's my intended action to be added to my will now. Hopefully, some years off - watch by then they'll have changed the bloody rules again😂
Sorry but this is really unclear. Is the focus on the person dying or the person receiving the inheritance? Surely the liability is the receiver of the inheritance not the person who has passed?
The liability is for the person who has died. So if that person has lived abroad for 10+ years they would no longer be liable to UK IHT on worldwide assets. UK IHT (if due) is paid out of the estate before being distributed to the people nominated in the will. The tax status of the people receiving the money doesn't affect the IHT paid.
I don’t have kids so IHT doesn’t concern me, but, even after seeking tax advice about this and querying it I still can’t get my head around it. I’m reliably told I’m U.K. domiciled and non-U.K. resident. I left the U.K. Summer 2021 and haven’t set foot back in the country since. I have no property there. I have U.K. GIA broker account with funds domiciled in the U.K. which is why I sought help as I couldn’t find a definitive answer online as to whether this affected my status and whether I would be liable for CGT upon drawdown. I’m told I’m okay. However I am waiting till April 6 until I switch brokers because I read something about disposal of shares within three tax years or something.
Not a problem for me. I was taught to pay my taxes to fund the services we all need and those who have the broadest shoulders should pay some agreed percentage more.
GB should modify this to exclude moves to tax havens (Gibraltar, Channel Islands, Monaco, Andorra, Singapore, California etc). For such moves the full rate or a 40% flat exit tax should apply to make it fair for taxpayers stuck in brexitland.
This country is finished. Don't understand why people are so patriotic to a country who's leaders don't give a shit about you

My wife and I own two properties - one in the UK , and the other in Hong Kong, and we have a daughter born in the UK, but working in Hong Kong. Hence curiosity in this topic. The problem with going abroard permanently is that Pensions become frozen.
I have been living abroad for 10 years now!
Very informative
Makes it harder for the previous non doms but certainly easier for those retiring out of UK- not going to help UK tax situation much imo 🤷♂️
🌟 One of the things that used to prove UK Domicile and your liability to pay death duties, was your wish to be buried in the UK. Under the new residency rules, If you are a resident overseas and you die overseas, can your ashes now be returned to the UK to be interned in a UK Church without it effecting your Residency status and your liability to pay Death Duties? Does a desire to be buried in the uk potentially affect the “tails” (time lines) you describe in your video?
It’s anything but a stupid question. Who checks? When a British Citizen passes away overseas the coroner records the death and that triggers the overseas system to see that he/she was a British Passport holder. The local British representative is informed (embassy, consulate etc) if that is not possible (eg on a ship) then a message is sent to the UK coroner to inform them that the death has occurred and HMRC is informed. If the deceased had UK assets then there is the issue of probate etc and the HMRC will be involved. In the UK the Church will not allow internment without the appropriate paperwork and they also register the burial and enter it in their systems. So again I ask the question, previously a wish to be buried in the Uk changed your deemed domicile status and that in turn incurred death duties. Under the new residency system will a desire to be buried in the UK affect your residency status and potentially your liability to pay death duties?
@@jaybrox1652 The stupid one is you. Jacb was too polite to say it but I am not. His question is a very good one and I do not know the answer
Who checks you ask. HMRC. Research what happened to Richard Burton V Peter Sellers estates. Both were residents of Switzerland. On death however Burton was returned to the valleys of Wales as per his wishes and as a result his estate paid CTT (as it was in those days). Not a lot of people know that!!:)
@@IainNicholson-k7x Good point ,.. so what will happen under the new rules from April this year?
As the concept of domicile no longer applies where one's remains end up will be irrelevant.
Surely this requires the cooperation of the law in the country that you move to. For example, if I moved to some country without a Tax Treaty with the UK and then die after say 3 years of the 10 year tail then that country might insist that my estate is taxed by them regardless of what the UK says.
The problem here is that, until you clear the "tail", your estate could be taxed in both countries - and there is no "double taxation relief" for inheritance taxes.
@@B1ker1965most countries don’t have IHT.
OK - So someone like me - who was working abroad from 2001 to 2013, then in the UK from start of November 2013 to end of May 2023 (so less than 10 calendar years), and who's now working abroad again... - would have no "tail" - or given it's tax years, would the split years (2013/2014 and 2023/2024) count as full years for IHT purposes meaning I have 11 tax years, so do have a "tail" of 3 years?
Then the question becomes if that 3 years is from when I left the UK (end of May 2023), or 3 years from the end of the tax year when I left (so April 2024).
Admittedly I'm not planning on dying any time soon, but this could seriously curtail how much time I spend in the UK after I retire.
To be clear, after 10 years living abroad, you are not liable for UK inheritance tax, even on UK assets like pensions and property in UK?
My understanding is that UK assets will always be liable for IHT, non-UK assets escape IHT once you have cleared the "tail" (10 years in my case).
to me, it seems pension income is taxable but any pension pot left on your death is exempt from UK taxes
@@InvestgoldUK pension income from a UK pension to someone living outside the UK is not taxable by HMRC. It’s nothing to do with them.
@@robbybroon4904 is that if even above uk tax free allowance? Because if so, I’d love to just move to Monaco for a year and take it all out
Does the 10 year rule coming in April 2025 mean if someone formally exits the UK tax regime before then that they will only be bound by the existing 3 year tail ?
Interesting but not sure that I followed it fully. I’ll give it another listen! But put simply, if I die in France after having my residency in France for 10 years or more, are you saying that I don’t pay IHT on UK assets such as property and pension pots? If so, that sounds too good to be true, with the obvious major caveat that the French droits to succession would of course apply. I might welcome a 1:1 on this although I don’t know if you offer that. Thanks anyway.
I think inheritance tax is 4% in Italy if left to children. A lot of "Italians" speak French in Valle d'aosta.
Hmm an inheritance tax "solution" that requires living even longer than 7 years (for those of us who have been resident in the UK for more than 20 years).
You still pay inheritance tax on your UK-based assets
@ That’s kind of what I expected.
This is excellent news but from what you describe and my understanding it’s a bit of a cliff edge. Up to the day before 10years you are liable for IHT and the day after you are not. The 7 year arrangement of gifting was progressive as far as the percentage of IHT applicable.
Perhaps the consultation period for this improved residency arrangement will allow a softer reducing percentage transition to occur from a given year of leaving the UK.
I moved to Vietnam one year ago after living and working all my life in England. I have no assets at all left in England. Last year I received a tax rebate. I am 58 years old and retired in Vietnam. How, if at all, does this affect me? I'm not working at all. I am living off of my private pension.
@shaunpierce4174 It doesn’t effect you at all unless you have assets in excess of £375,000
Be like Sweden it’s really simple.
You can only not pay Swedish tax, if you are only in Sweden for 30 days in any six month period( a day is any part of a day). So if you arrive late Friday night stay Saturday and Sunday and leave at 1am on Monday, that is 4 days.
No exceptions made.
That's not how Swedish tax residency works, at least not for non-Swedes. A Brit (or other non-EU citizen) can own a home in Sweden and spend 90 days of 180 days (rolling) without risk of being considered tax resident in Sweden.
Will uk move to a citizen based tax system ?
The answer to your question depends on if the inheritance tax rules in the new country are better than the U.K. also , what would I loose out on ? Examples would have been helpful . 😊
What are the tax implications if any on taxes other than inheritance tax?. I have my private pension paid in to my uk bank and opted to receive it tax paid to hmrc. Does this mean from April I no longer have to pay this tax as I’m a non resident in the uk?, or wouldn’t if it was paid into my Taiwanese bank account?.
But do pay, or you wont get full state pension, the best investment you will ever make.
Just amazed, and slightly shocked, that so many people seem intent on basing THEIR retirement on what they can leave for their children. We intend living where we want to and enjoying the fruits of OUR labour. What's left over, the kids can have. They've already had a great start in life but I'll be damned if we feel obliged to live somewhere less than ideal simply to avoid paying tax. Gifting works plus they can get a relatively large lump sum from the main home when we're both gone. Unless you literally have millions, in which case a trust is advised, you might as well just enjoy life and spend it!
Hello, could you list your rates before I book a call with you?
I'm non UK tax resident for >10 years. What will happen to my non dom wifes status after the change? Currently she has the £325k limit rather than no IHT for UK wives. Does this limit go away too?
I have a property in the uk and I am domecile in the usa. My heirs will still have to pay IHT on that property.
If you die whilst living abroad, your heirs are also living abroad and they inherit foreign assets how would HMRC enforce any of their rules? Of course if your assets are in precious metals and crypto they won't even know anyway whether you live in Dubai or Devon.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Your video goes so fast and everything is blurted so quickly that i am more confused than ever!
F HMRC.
F PARLIAMENT They have screwed every working person all my working life ,
Well it's the Labour Party/WEF at the core...and the 'Politics of Narcissist Envy'.
Constructive Empathetic people are targeted, and Destructive Narcissistic people are coddled.
Disgusting! 10 years?
Hi there very interesting. So I wish to retire in Thailand but I’m going to move all my money to my Thai bank account so what happens then. Regards nick
This refers to Inheritance Tax. It's not clear to me if they are talking about the deceased or the beneficiaries (the people you leave the money to) of the will. If it's the deceased, then the question might be if your beneficiaries resident in the UK? If they are and HMRC becomes aware that they have received the money, they can still catch you. Depending on how much cash your talking about here, you might want to also research the tax implications under Thai law. Thry have brought in a law that says ANY monies transferred to Thailand are counted as income and to be taxed accordingly. I don't know the details yet, it's new and they don't release things in one go the way the UK govt does.
@ ok thanks. There is double tax system between the uk and Thailand which it states Thailand cannot tax you on money that’s already been taxed. Regards nick
My take on it is that deemed domicile and domicile as a concept is out of the window. And so if you want your ashes returned to Ol' Blighty that's your choice with no IHT repercussions. I'm not a tax advisor but based on the video that's what I'm hearing. And it's my intended action to be added to my will now. Hopefully, some years off - watch by then they'll have changed the bloody rules again😂
Hang on you mentioned "or country of origin" Then you ignored that option.
Sorry but this is really unclear. Is the focus on the person dying or the person receiving the inheritance? Surely the liability is the receiver of the inheritance not the person who has passed?
The liability is for the person who has died. So if that person has lived abroad for 10+ years they would no longer be liable to UK IHT on worldwide assets. UK IHT (if due) is paid out of the estate before being distributed to the people nominated in the will. The tax status of the people receiving the money doesn't affect the IHT paid.
I don’t have kids so IHT doesn’t concern me, but, even after seeking tax advice about this and querying it I still can’t get my head around it.
I’m reliably told I’m U.K. domiciled and non-U.K. resident.
I left the U.K. Summer 2021 and haven’t set foot back in the country since. I have no property there. I have U.K. GIA broker account with funds domiciled in the U.K. which is why I sought help as I couldn’t find a definitive answer online as to whether this affected my status and whether I would be liable for CGT upon drawdown.
I’m told I’m okay. However I am waiting till April 6 until I switch brokers because I read something about disposal of shares within three tax years or something.
be careful selling anything and give it 7 more years and you are no longer UK domicile
@
The concept of Domicile isn’t going to exist from April due to upcoming changes.
Any UK assets STILL liable to IHT....foreign assets NOT liable...AFAIK
Understood. I’m off!
Not a problem for me. I was taught to pay my taxes to fund the services we all need and those who have the broadest shoulders should pay some agreed percentage more.
@@frank834skinner3 or shrug and go
Ok, socialism apologist
Enjoy supporting economically illiterate policies that already are and will continue to destroy Great Britain. 👍
Very choppy video. Had to stop watching.
Iht is theft pure and simple
Good luck getting their grubby little hands on people's foreign assets 😂
GB should modify this to exclude moves to tax havens (Gibraltar, Channel Islands, Monaco, Andorra, Singapore, California etc). For such moves the full rate or a 40% flat exit tax should apply to make it fair for taxpayers stuck in brexitland.
Ha ha!
10 YEARS?! wtf
