Speakers:

Laurence Lancaster, Group Head of Tax, The Sovereign Group 

The UK continues to present significant challenges for private clients seeking to plan for retirement or pass wealth down to the next generation. Those expats who have retained their UK domicile face the prospect of paying 40% tax in the UK on their worldwide estate despite potentially having no assets in the UK and having not lived there for many years. Law changes in recent years have made estate and retirement planning more challenging even for non-UK domiciles holding assets in the UK indirectly (for example, where a company holds UK residential property).

This webinar will focus on estate planning strategies by illustrating how trusts, Qualifying Non-UK Pension Scheme, buy-to-let residential property investments, as well as family investment companies can be used to mitigate UK Inheritance tax exposure for UK doms and non-doms.

Details on how to join this webinar will be sent via email within 2 hours of the webinar start time.
