What happens to my DOM1 when I have sent it in?

Can anyone tell me what happens to my DOM1 form when I send it in, as I am claiming non-dom on a remittance basis. I have had it checked and prepared by a professional (Tax & Estate Planning Associate in a bank). Some people say you send it in and they accept it, as they cannot disprove your non-dom. Others say they write back confirming your non-dom status and are in effect giving you a ruling. Any experiences that can shed light are appreciated?

Cheers

DOn

Hi
Well in my experience the Revenue will not give binding rulings from DOM1's as peoples circumstances/intent changes. It's up to the individual to make sure they fulfill non-domicile status and moniter it carefully. Regards Adrian S

Well - HMRCs manuals say they will give rulings, and in my experience (and I have obtained dozens) they still do.

You should also note that a helpline on domicile is available under the so-called tax amnesty.

They key point here is neither the form DOM1 or the ruling but how your RETURNS are filed.

You should obtain advice from either a CTA Chartered Accountant on this issue (you do not state what professional qualifications were held by the bank employee).

He has A.C.I.B and T.E.P. bare in mind I do not know what that means, as I am not a tax professional. I am PAYE and and receive no tax return. The HMRC are penal on people with overseas interests!!!

His qualifications are sound. You need to ask if he can:
1. Obtain a ruling, and
2. Advise on completing your tax returns.

No Client should be submitting a DOM1 directly themselves!

Proper professional advice from a real Domicile expert will include detailed written legal advice on your Domicile.

This must include submission of the form and corresponding with HMRC to get a ruling and tax planning advice.

An adviser will only be able to get a ruling, if you have income or gains at stake.

Best to get proper advice from a real Domicile tax expert!
