The Rise of Luxury Property in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, has seen a significant surge in luxury property purchases in recent times.
The End of a Legacy
The tax status in question, known as the Foreign Earnings Exemption, has been a cornerstone of the UK’s tax system for centuries. It allowed wealthy foreigners to pay a significantly lower tax rate on their foreign-earned income, making it an attractive option for high-net-worth individuals. However, the Chancellor has deemed this tax status to be out of date and no longer fit for purpose.
The Impact on Foreigners
The abolition of the Foreign Earnings Exemption will have a significant impact on wealthy foreigners who have been benefiting from this tax status. These individuals will now be subject to the standard UK income tax rate, which is significantly higher than the rate they were previously paying. This change will affect not only the individuals themselves but also their families and businesses, as they will be required to pay a higher tax rate on their foreign-earned income. • The abolition of the Foreign Earnings Exemption will also have a broader impact on the UK’s economy, as it will reduce the amount of foreign investment in the country.
