UK resident non-domiciled (RND) services in Switzerland

Working with your advisors to find the best solutions for your wealth

As a resident non-domiciled (RND) individual, the UK’s tax regime may sound simple: You pay no UK income tax or capital gains tax on your non-UK offshore income and gains unless you remit them to the UK. But the law is both complex and evolving. Benefiting from it is extremely time-consuming.

As the wealth manager of choice for UK RND individuals, we work with your tax and legal advisors to find the most efficient and legally compliant setup of your offshore banking and investments.

An offshore trust is a well-known and widely accepted succession and tax planning tool. As a UK RND individual, you may benefit from inheritance tax advantages by settling your non-UK situs assets into an "excluded property trust." There may also be income and capital gains tax benefits, depending on the terms and beneficiaries of your trust.

An offshore bond is a life assurance-based wealth planning solution that combines well-established tax treatment with an investment portfolio tailored to your needs. You can switch investment funds and strategies in the bond whenever you like – free of charge and without incurring a tax liability.

As a UK RND individual on the remittance basis, you can optimise the tax you pay on the money remitted to the UK by keeping separate UBS accounts – combined with booking instructions to precisely identify the origin of the invested assets.

To optimise the benefits of the remittance basis, you may wish to only invest in assets that allow income to be fully segregated. For example, any income element should be separately identified and can be additionally, under UK tax laws, segregated.
