Key points Residence determines the scope of a person’s liability to UK income tax and capital gains tax ( CGT). An individual’s tax residence is established under the Statutory Residence Test ( SRT). A person can be tax resident in multiple countries at the same time, as each jurisdiction applies its own domestic rules. Someone who is not resident in the UK is taxed only on UK‑source income and on certain gains from disposing of UK assets, including residential property. Value added tax ( VAT), stamp duty land tax ( SDLT) and the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings ( ATED) may apply to both residents and non‑residents. Before 6 April 2025, domicile—rather than residence—was the principal factor in determining exposure to inheritance tax ( IHT). From 6 April 2025, IHT liability is largely linked to the period an individual has been resident in the...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
