A written statement from the treasury has today confirmed that new tax laws withdrawn from Finance Bill 2017 will be legislated for in the Summer Finance Bill.
All tax legislation intended to apply from the start of the 2017-18 tax year will still be effective from that date.

Legislation aimed at reforming the taxation of non-doms will be effective from 6 April 2017. See our earlier update for more details.
The new legislation contains valuable transitional rules to soften the impact of these changes.
If you are a non-dom that has been claiming the remittance basis in the UK, or a non-dom that is now deemed domiciled by virtue of being a UK resident for 15 of the 20 years action is required.
