The Government believes that the tax system needs to be competitive and attractive, so that those people who will generate growth and jobs will want to reside here.


However, it is also right that those who stay in the UK longer-term pay tax in the same way as everybody else, which is why the Government changed the rules in 2017 to end permanent non-domicile status.

The Government published its Tax Plan at the recent Budget which set out a vision for a lower tax economy for everyone, supporting growth in the economy and ensuring the proceeds of that growth are shared fairly.

Decisions on taxation are a matter for the Chancellor and are considered as part of the budget process. As with all aspects of the tax system, the Government will keep this under review.
