DEFENCE TAX EXEMPTION AS NON-DOMICILED

[aphrodite]

It has come to my attention that perhaps not everyone is aware of the two forms which need to be completed from the Tax Office in order to be granted exemption from Defence tax under the Non-Domiciled rule which took effect in 2015.

The first one is Form T.D38QA Questionnaire to determine Domicile of origin

The second one is Form T.D38 Declaration of Individual for Exemption as Non-Domiciled

These will then be processed and, if granted, assigned to your tax account. Without going through this process, and when the Tax Office eventually catches up with itself, they will then come after you for the 30% tax on any interest etc., which you are still required to declare on the tax return.

Hope this helps those who might not be aware. x
