UK Tax Reforms Drive Wealth Outflow from London to Monaco and Dubai
What happened
Britain is experiencing one of its largest outflows of private wealth in recent history, with the combined fortune of individuals who have left or significantly reduced their ties to the country estimated at about $160 billion. This shift is attributed to major UK tax reforms, including the abolition of the long-standing non-domiciled tax regime. The pace of these departures has accelerated since Labour came to power in 2024.
