Consultation description

Background

This consultation sought views on the detailed policy design of a package of reforms announced at Budget 2011. These reforms included:

  • increasing the existing £30,000 annual charge to £50,000 for non-domiciles who claim the beneficial tax regime “remittance basis” in a tax year and who have been UK resident for 12 or more of the 14 years prior to the year of claim
  • enabling non-domiciles to remit overseas income and capital gains tax-free to the UK for the purpose of commercial investment in businesses
  • making technical simplifications to some aspects of the current remittance basis rules to remove undue administrative burdens
