Matthew Sperry, US international private wealth partner based in London, was quoted across several publications on the potential impact of the UK Chancellor's autumn budget to the resident non-domicile tax regime.

The new regime will have individuals who classify themselves as foreign for tax purposes begin to pay tax on their income from abroad and capital gains from overseas assets beginning in April.

Matthew has suggested this change puts the UK at a disadvantage when competing for investment. "As much as I love the UK, this places the United States, Italy, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and other global jurisdictions in a much stronger position in competing for ultra-high net worth wealth and investment in the coming years," Matthew said. "I fully expect that this news will hasten the exit for many non-doms that were advised to postpone any moves until after this budget. Labour has ignored those that have warned that this move would eviscerate the non-dom tax base."
