FIG Regime and more: The Reforms to Personal Taxation for UK Resident Foreign IndividualsWhat the new rules mean for UK resident foreign taxpayers - What the new rules mean for UK resident foreign taxpayers
From 6 April 2025, UK tax for foreign residents is based solely on tax residence, not domicile. The simplified system affects income, capital gains, and inheritance tax, offering some residents up to four years to shelter non-UK income and gains.
The Benefits Of Lifetime GivingAn expert guide to tax-efficient charitable giving - An expert guide to tax-efficient charitable giving
At Collyer Bristow, we help individuals, families, and trustees plan strategically to maximise the impact of their charitable giving while preserving and protecting wealth. Charitable donations, whether made during your lifetime or through your Will, can provide significant opportunities to reduce tax liabilities and create a lasting legacy.
Our latest guide, The Benefits of Lifetime Giving, explores the full range of options available and illustrates how to integrate charitable donations into a broader estate planning strategy.
Estate planning for digital assets
Fundamentally, digital assets are the possessions you access on a digital device. These assets are normally stored online and accessed via a personal online account run by a third-party provider. How should you manage these assets?
Planning with crypto assets
It is increasingly important for individuals to understand how crypto assets are taxed, both in life and on death, and ensure the consideration of crypto assets in succession planning.
