Non-domiciled status, or “non-dom” status, is a special UK tax classification for people who live in the UK but have their permanent home (“domicile”) in another country. Non-doms may be able to limit the UK tax they pay on foreign income or gains—usually by using the remittance basis. The rules are complex, and the benefits (and costs) can change, so it’s wise to seek specialist advice if you think non-dom status might apply to you.
