Insights from Blick Rothenberg’s Post-Budget UK Planning Briefing

Written by Josh Matthews, HBA

At MASECO Private Wealth, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to tax and financial planning for our clients, particularly with the looming UK tax changes. George King, Senior Wealth Manager, and Josh Matthews, Co-Founder of MASECO, recently attended a valuable briefing hosted by Blick Rothenberg, alongside Blick Rothenberg’s Alex Straight and Helen Humphries. The discussion focused on the implications of the UK’s fiscal landscape following the October 30th Budget, with particular attention paid to planning considerations for US citizens living in the UK.

One of the key takeaways from the session was the significant difference in experience between Americans in the UK compared to other non-domiciled (non-dom) individuals. As we approach April 2025, when important changes to UK tax and residency rules will take effect (as discussed in more detail in our blog here – Navigating the New Tax Landscape: 7 Key Considerations for UK Residents Amid Changes to the Non-Dom Regime | MASECO Private Wealth ), it was noted that there is an increasing level of interest among Americans considering a move to the UK. This comes at a time when some non-doms are reassessing whether it’s still beneficial to remain in the UK, given the potential tax implications of the upcoming changes.

The session highlighted that many Americans in the UK are beginning to explore their options more seriously. With ongoing shifts in tax policies, it’s becoming increasingly important for expats to receive tailored advice. At MASECO, we’re dedicated to providing that expert guidance, ensuring our clients make informed decisions about their financial futures.

As we edge closer to April, we continue to monitor the evolving landscape and will keep our clients updated on key developments. If you’d like to discuss how the recent budget might affect your personal planning, please get in touch.
