Non-dom tax regime abolished — replaced by 4-year FIG regime

The historic resident non-domiciled tax regime was abolished from 6 April 2025 by the October 2024 Budget. A new residence-based regime replaces it, offering 100% exemption on foreign income and gains (FIG) for new arrivals in their first four UK tax years of residence (after 10 years non-residence). Transitional rules applied to existing non-doms, including a Temporary Repatriation Facility.

Who it affects: High-net-worth new arrivals to the UK; existing non-dom holders transitioning from April 2025.

ISA rules reformed — allow multiple same-type ISAs per year

From 6 April 2024, savers may subscribe to more than one ISA of the same type in a single tax year (e.g., two Stocks and Shares ISAs with different providers), and partial transfers of current-year contributions between providers became possible. The £20,000 annual allowance remained unchanged. Relevant to mid-moves and new residents starting UK tax planning.

Who it affects: All UK tax-resident savers using ISA accounts.
