The FIG Regime Replaces Non-Dom

From 6 April 2025, the UK abolished the non-dom remittance basis (introduced in 1799). The replacement: the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime. New UK residents who were not UK resident in any of the preceding 10 tax years get a 4-year exemption on foreign income and foreign capital gains.

Who Qualifies for FIG

FIG applies to: individuals becoming UK resident from 6 April 2025 onward, who were not UK resident in any of the prior 10 tax years. The 4-year exemption runs from year 1 of UK residence.

Existing non-doms losing the old remittance basis can elect into FIG if they qualify (rare for long-term residents). Transitional reliefs available for pre-April 2025 foreign income and gains.

Transitional Reliefs

For pre-April 2025 unremitted foreign income, three transitional reliefs apply: (1) Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) — 12% tax for 3 years to bring funds onshore (vs marginal rate). (2) Rebasing of foreign assets for CGT at 5 April 2017 value. (3) 50% reduction of foreign income tax for 2025-26 first year (mixed-fund cleanup).

These transitional reliefs are time-limited and election-based. Many non-doms use 2025-26 + 2026-27 + 2027-28 to clean up offshore structures.

After the 4-Year FIG Period

Once you've been UK resident for 5+ years, worldwide income and gains become fully UK-taxable. The same rules as any UK resident apply: 20% / 40% / 45% income tax bands + 24% capital gains tax (residential) or 20% (other) + dividend tax.

Planning option: leave the UK before year 5. Or use enveloped/IHT-efficient structures. The 4-year FIG window is short — plan for life after FIG from day 1.
