The training has been developed in collaboration with leading legal expertise provider BRP Tax SA and teaches the skills needed to ensure compliance with the UK regulations, guidelines and directives, as well as cross-border rules.

 

The UK tax system is quite complex and the online course places the emphasis on the crucial distinction of whether a resident is domiciled in the UK or not. For financial professionals dealing with UK residents, up-to-date knowledge of the UK Domiciled Tax Regime is vital to conduct their business in a compliant manner, provide sound advice and act in the best interest of their clients.

​

1. Tax principles of UK tax law with reference to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Statutory Residence Test (SRT), including the different aspects of tax residency and tax domicile
