UK Government Moves on Non-Domicile Rules
The Finance Act 2025 has brought sweeping changes for non-UK domiciled individuals, focusing on how inheritance tax is handled. For global artists or industry professionals with ties outside the UK, these new measures could influence everything from estate planning to cross-border wealth transfers. Ensuring the right strategy is in place becomes even more vital as these new tax rules take effect.

Inheritance Tax in the Spotlight
With projections suggesting trillions of pounds will pass down from baby boomers over the next few decades, inheritance tax (IHT) reforms remain front and centre. Upcoming changes—including shifts in how pensions are taxed within estates—could reshape the way musicians, creatives, and business owners manage their legacies. It’s an opportune time to review your estate planning and explore potential opportunities for optimisation.
