| The UK inheritance tax net is notoriously difficult to escape (though not impossible if you are prepared to make some sacrifices) even if you move abroad and don't pay UK income tax. UK inheritance tax is based on domicile. You can be resident in CH and still domiciled in the UK for inheritance tax purposes. That means you could be subject to inheritance in both countries but if a tax treaty exists with your home country you will be able to claim double tax relief and will therefore pay no more than whichever country has the highest rate. | |

We don't have UK passports and we were resident non domiciled in the UK for 4 years. After that we became domiciled for 1 tax year and then left for Switzerland. Do you have any more info on domicile in relation to inheritance taxes? I just know that if you don't have a will in the UK then only the first X amount goes to your spouse and the rest is up for grabs for your family (parents and siblings).
