The End of the Non-Dom Tax Status: Time Now to End Family Law Domicile Jurisdiction
Domicile has been a fundamental basis of jurisdiction in English law including English family law. But it is intrinsically backward-looking, archaic in its concepts, thoroughly unknown or at best misunderstood by the population, differently defined abroad and at odds with many other countries including the EU. With the non-domicile tax status being abolished as announced in the budget in late October 2024, is it not time now to end domicile as a family law basis of jurisdiction? Nationality is a far more straightforward, certain and modern basis.

On 6 March 2024, the Government announced a major overhaul of the regime for the taxation of non-doms in the United Kingdom. These changes will impact all high net worth UK residents whose domicile for tax purposes is outside the UK (‘non-doms’) but may have a particularly significant impact on non-doms divorcing in the UK.
