Treasury minister hints at non-dom review in Budget

The House of Commons has rejected a Labour motion calling for analysis of the impact of abolishing non-dom tax status on public finances to be made public

During the debate, a government minister hinted that there might be changes made in this area in the March Budget, according to the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT).

As part of its Opposition Day when opposition parties get to set the parliamentary agenda, Labour called for the Treasury analysis, ordered by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in November, to be presented to MPs by the end of February.

Non-dom status allows UK residents whose permanent homes are abroad to avoid paying British taxes on overseas income. Labour has said it would replace the current rules with a shorter-term scheme for temporary residents if it is elected.
