  • Will the UK Become the Next Tax Haven? The 2024 Non-Dom Tax Reforms and Their Impact on London’s Property Market
    Nov 5 2024

    In this episode of London Property Digest, we examine the UK government’s controversial decision to overhaul the non-dom tax regime, replacing it with a short-term residence-based scheme. Critics warn this shift could turn London into a “Bahamas-style” tax haven, attracting transient residents more interested in tax breaks than long-term contributions to the UK economy. With potential impacts such as reduced property demand and a possible exodus of wealthy investors, we explore what this means for the UK’s property market and economic landscape. Tune in for insights on how these changes might reshape London’s future.
