On broader changes to the taxation of non-domiciles, the government intends to legislate in Finance Bill 2017, with effect from April 2017, to ensure that IHT is payable on all UK residential property owned by non-domiciles, regardless of their residence status for tax purposes, including property held indirectly through an offshore structure. A full consultation will follow later this year. See www.bit.ly/1HqApnd.
