An estimated 3,000 of the UK’s wealthiest residents are set to leave the country as a result of the clampdown on their beneficial tax regime, the Treasury has said.
Foreign citizens or ‘non-doms’ based in the UK are exempt from tax on their offshore income, but will face an annual charge of £30,000 after residing in Britain for seven years.
An existing loophole, which also exempts them from capital gains tax, is also set to be soon closed by the Treasury, a report has said.
The plan, which comes into effect next April, has been criticised for damaging London’s reputation as financial centre since it may effectively drive away the wealthiest citizens.
