Non-dom 2025 — what changes for Indians in the UK

The April 2025 reforms end remittance basis and bring IHT on worldwide assets after 10 years of UK residence. Implications for Indian-origin families.

Last reviewed: June 2026 · Updated for AY 2026-27

01

End of remittance basis

From April 2025, the remittance basis closes for long-term residents. A new four-year Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime replaces it for newcomers.

02

IHT exposure

After 10 years of UK residence, worldwide assets fall inside UK IHT. Indian-origin families with overseas trusts and Indian property need a fresh structuring review.

03

Action

Sequence return-to-India, UK domicile severance and Indian RNOR together — not separately.

References to the law, rules or practice of countries other than India are included for general orientation only. They are not advice on the law of that country, and they should be confirmed with a qualified adviser in that jurisdiction before you act.

Tax law, exchange-control rules and treaty positions change, and they change often. This page reflects our understanding as at the date shown above. We do not undertake to update it.
