As you are UK domiciled your worldwide estate is subject to UK IHT.

Hi,

Thanks for response. When you say in principle, could you be more specific?
If the UK property is held in my personal name and a UK ltd company.
Furthermore I have lost my uk domicile and residency 7 years ago.

Thank you for advice.

Regards

Non-UK domiciliaries are liable to UK IHT on UK assets. Shares in a UK limited company are UK assets.

You would be entitled to the nil rate band of £325,000.

A relevant double tax agreement (if any) would also need to be checked.

My new residency is Pakistan I have been here for 7 years and my domiciliary is here now.
My property portfolio is well beyong the nil rate band.
There is a double taxation agreement between the uk and Pakistan because of course Pakistan was a common wealth country.

Is this double taxation agreement applicable?

Kind regards
