2 UK Perspective What are the trends? It is easier to leave the UK since the UK has a residence/domicile based system The domicile rules remain intact albeit with a remittance basis charge after 7 years There have been predictions of an exodus of fund managers and other residents which have proved to be more of a small trickle than a stampede. The UK is still a benign environment. Setting up a business in Switzerland is not easy.
3 UK Perspective - continued The current government pledged to reduce net immigration but has only succeeded in reducing the number of overseas students. Data from the government shows that net migration fell below 540,000 in with the number leaving the UK increasing from 118,000 to 127,000. Overall, long term immigration figures are not moving significantly and continue to average 180,000. Relevant factors include not only UK tax issues but also European tax regimes and mid-east politics

18 Who is liable?

19 Annual Residential Property Tax ( ARPT ) Taxable value of property ARPT 2m to 5m 15,000 5m to 10m 35,000 10m to 20m 70,000 Greater than 20m 140,000 'Chargeable period' will run from 1 April to 30 March Properties will need to be valued every 5 years
20 Annual charge reliefs Properties exploited in a property development, trading or rental businesses provided that the property is not occupied by a 'nonqualifying person' Properties available for use or enjoyment by the public for at least 28 days a year Properties owned to provide employee accommodation Properties held by charities for charitable purposes Farm houses of a 'character appropriate' to the land being farmed and occupied by farm workers
21 SDLT Consistency with the annual residential property tax properties owned by a natural person 7% properties owned by a non-natural person 15% Will be amended to incorporate the same reliefs as will apply for the annual residential property tax, but only with effect from the date of Royal Assent of the Finance Bill 2013 (expected in June/July 2013) Payment of the 7% rate conditional on the appropriate relief applying for 3 years from purchase.

28 Restructure? Depends on the facts Sometimes better to pay the annual charge in order to protect against IHT exposure If restructuring is required time is running out
29 Is the UK still an attractive destination for foreign nationals? Simple answer is yes: Remittance basis of taxation for non domiciliaries No charge for the first seven years 30,000 if resident for seven of previous nine years 50,000 if resident for twelve or previous fourteen years No CGT on the sale of UK situs property by non resident individuals ARPT easily avoidable If more beneficial to continue to hold via a company the ARPT is substantially less than wealth taxes in France for example (top rate is 1.8% on entire wealth not just property)
30 Is the UK still an attractive destination for foreign nationals Les Français disent oui! Estimated 400,000 French nationals in London alone Substantially less tax in the UK (France top rate of income tax is 75% compared to the UK s 45%) London now France s 6 th biggest city based on number or people Merci Hollande!
