What happened

Tax reforms in the UK, which replaced non-dom status with a system based on tax residence, have prompted wealthy individuals to relocate from London to Monaco and Dubai. This shift has resulted in an estimated combined fortune of about $160 billion belonging to billionaires and ultra-rich individuals who have left Britain or reduced their ties to it. Sir Peter Wood moved his tax residence from the UK to the United States in 2025, amid concerns over the clampdown on non-dom tax rules.
