UK Inheritance Tax Planning Using Offshore Structures

The majority of British people living abroad don't realise that their world-wide estates remain fully liable to Inheritance Tax, even though they might have been living abroad for many years. While there are many ways of planning for this, one of the most effective is to change 'domicile', which takes your non-UK assets outside of the reach of Inheritance Tax at a stroke.

This seminar looks at how this is possible, what you have to do and how your new domicile status can be documented and tested with HM Revenue & Customs. It will also look at how offshore structures can be used to protect UK estates of non-UK domiciled clients from inheritance tax.

Who should attend:

  • Anyone who isn't sure what their domicile is or why it is relevant 
  • Anyone who is of British origin and is concerned about inheritance tax
  • Anyone who does not intend to return to the UK to live in the future
  • Anyone who has existing offshore company/trust structures and are looking for better value for money
  • Anyone who wants to test their claim for a Hong Kong domicile with HM Revenue & Customs 
  • Anyone who is not domiciled in the UK and wants to hold UK assets tax efficiently
