Barclays

Non UK citizens living and working in the UK

Is this information for you?

This information applies to non-UK citizens who:

• Are living or working in the UK but intend to return to their home country at some point
• Would like to live or work in the UK for a set period

People in these circumstances are often referred to as non-domicile UK residents.

UK banking and financial services

Barclays International can help provide the banking and financial services that you need.

Advantages of international banking
A Barclays International bank account can be set up before you leave your home country. This can make it much simpler and quicker to set up the banking services that you require.

What's more you can manage your international bank account from almost anywhere in the world through telephone† and online¹ banking. So one account should be all you need.

Resident non-domicile tax status

You will need to determine your tax status in order to know which Barclays International bank account is best for you.

What is your UK tax status?
As a general guide, in order to successfully claim non-domicile tax status you will need to show that you:

• Have strong ties with another country: e.g. one in which you or your parents were born
• Intend to leave the UK and return to that country at some time in the future

The UK tax authorities judge each application on a case-by-case basis. So you will need professional tax advice to help you determine your own status.

Barclays International does not offer tax advice, but we are happy to introduce clients to our preferred tax advisers, Ernst and Young.

Tax implications
If you can demonstrate to the UK tax authorities that you are a non-domicile resident then there might be opportunities that you could incorporate into your tax planning strategy.

However, the situation can be complicated and will depend on factors such as:

• How long you have lived in the UK - this is particularly relevant if you have spent seven out of the last 10 years in the UK
• The total income amount you receive each year
• What capital and assets you bring into the UK

Combined with independent professional tax advice we can help provide the right banking and financial services solution for you.
