Rachel Reeves' remarks at Davos regarding Labour's non-domicile tax policy have heightened disappointment among investors, failing to restore confidence. Reports of a potential softening of the Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) did little to address the ongoing concerns about the UK's declining appeal to high-net-worth individuals. Financial experts suggest that significant changes are still needed, such as a viable Inheritance Tax exemption for assets acquired before UK residency. Additionally, the removal of favorable tax arrangements like the remittance basis has prompted a worrying trend of wealthy individuals leaving the UK, intensifying discussions around the economic implications.
Rachel Reeves may have thought her Davos non-doms remarks would reassure the market, but they've only added fuel to the fire of disappointment over Labour's non-domicile tax policy changes.
Amendments to the proposed TRF flat tax rates, while a step in the right direction, remain too limited in scope and duration.
