A Treasury spokesperson called the report “speculation, not Government policy” and pledged to remove “the outdated non-dom tax regime”. According to the Guardian report, there are concerns that the OBR forecast would predict the policy could cost the Government money due to non-doms limiting their time in the UK. “That is why we are removing the outdated non-dom tax regime and replacing it with a new internationally competitive residence-based regime focused on attracting the best talent and investment to the UK.” A costings document in June said Labour planned to raise billions by closing the “non-dom loophole” for wealthy foreigners living in the UK and cracking down on tax avoidance.
