An Inheritance Tax Guide for UK Expats

Most people reach an age where they must decide how they’ll divide their assets among their beneficiaries. Often, people reach their twilight years before even thinking about this, but what you must know is that it’s something you must consider doing as early as possible if you hope to dodge the UK’s monstrous inheritance tax.

For ex-pats, domicile is a term they need to understand because it’s a significant factor of how much tax your beneficiaries will be liable to pay when they inherit your assets.

Domicile is different from residency in the sense that a residence is somewhere you live for a time, while your domicile is your true home. You could be living in another country for years at a time and still be domiciled in the UK.

Anyone who is a UK domicile is subject to inheritance tax on all their assets worldwide. The current threshold is £325,000 for inheritance tax, after which it’s charged at 40%. If you are a non-UK domicile, the tax only affects assets located in the UK, like local property or businesses.

Knowing this, you may need to consider a few things to spare your beneficiaries from losing out on a considerable amount of money. It’s possible to change your domicile, but you then have to consider the inheritance tax of the country to which you’re switching your domicile. If the country has more forgiving inheritance tax rates compared to the UK, this may be the best course of action for you.

Acquiring domicile of choice

Domicile of choice is where you change your domicile by moving to a different country permanently. To acquire this, you must:

  • Be physically residing in your new country
  • Be a tax-paying resident of this country
  • Have the intention of living there permanently
  • Sever ties with the UK, which, among others, could include:
    • Not returning to the UK
    • Not being buried in the UK

When you apply for a domicile change, it will take a minimum of three years for your UK domicile status to be revoked. Remember that if you die and the three years since you applied for a domicile in another country hasn’t elapsed yet, your estate will still be liable to UK inheritance tax. You will also be liable if you were a UK resident for any part of 17 of the last 20 tax years. This is why it’s best to sort out your plans while you’re still young and healthy. Note that going to another country, even if it’s for a short vacation, while your domicile application is in progress, might be grounds for the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to challenge your domicile by choice.

The sooner you plan out your retirement, the smoother it’ll be for you since you can take steps to free your beneficiaries from heavy taxes and find pension options available in your chosen country. TailorMade Pensions can provide you with a wide range of pension options for UK ex-pats and educate you on personal finance and other taxes you may need to look out for.

What You Need to Know When You Have a Pet

Getting a pet is an exciting time, but there are also lots of challenges, and things that could be worrying if you’ve not done your research in advance. Today we’re taking a look at some of the things you’ll need to know when you have a pet so you’ll feel prepared and confident.

Where’s the Vet?

It’s important to know where your vet is when you’re caring for a pet. You don’t want to be searching “emergency vet near me” during the actual emergency – you need to be focused on your pet’s needs.

Registering for a vet as soon as you get your pet (or finding a new one when you move to a new area) means you have an existing relationship to call on when you’re worried, that you know where to go when disaster strikes and perhaps most crucially, you have experience getting your pet there under less stressed circumstances. Whether it’s carrying the cat up the road in a carrier, getting your dog into the car, or even decanting a fish into a transport vessel, experience with the logistics of a pet visit makes doing it under pressure easier.

What Do They Eat?

While you might expect exotic pets to have very specific food needs that you need to get right for them to be healthy, the same can be true of more mainstream pets. Even cats and dogs need different foods at different times in their lives, can have intolerances and allergies, or might need dietary changes to help health conditions.

Start with their age – kittens and puppies need specific food formulations to support their growth. These should be clearly marked in the supermarket, but make sure you know how old your pet is, and when it moves from the juvenile to adult stage of life. This can vary based on the breed, so do double check or get your vet’s advice if you’re not sure.

Exercise

Most pets require some form of exercise to support their physical and mental health – an understimulated pet can have weight problems and even suffer from anxiety and depression.

Find out what sort of exercise and how much your pet might need. For habitat bound pets, feeding live food can help to simulate the physical and mental exertion of hunting in the wild. Other pets require a more direct hand – dogs need to be walked and it can’t be too much or too little. Too long a walk can be harmful, especially to a growing dog, but getting outside provides opportunities for play, exploration and socialisation that are vital to its wellbeing.

Cats get a lot of exercise and stimulation exploring outdoors, but if you have an indoor cat you’ll need to work harder to fill its needs. Keep a larger stock of cat toys and rotate the ones you use to provide variety, and find room for a climbing tree. Find what engages your cat and make time to play with them every day to ensure they’re getting the stimulation and exercise they need to support their health and happiness.

Mega lottery jackpot all set for Friday!

 

source

After no one matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing, the jackpot for Friday’s drawing now stands at $970 million, or $716.3 million cash. It is for the third time in history that the Mega Millions jackpot is about to mark its height near $1 billion and the second time in the game’s history!

Why did it reach that high, you ask?

Because there hasn’t been a winner since the mid of September 2020 – that is almost four months and 36 consecutive drawings without a winner.

The $970 million payouts would be the second-largest Mega Million, after the $1.54 billion bonanza that was won in 2018. Based on the past multi-state lottery jackpots, the estimate may get much bigger by the time the drawing occurs on Friday night!

On Tuesday, the winning number was 10, 19, 26, 28, and 50 plus gold Mega Ball 16, which was, unfortunately, not matched with anyone’s number. The Megaplier number was 2.

However, eleven tickets still match five white balls to win at least $1 million. In this, two of those sold in Florida, won $2 million as they included an optional Megaplier purchase.

The game is likely to sport a jackpot of greater than a billion dollars by Friday.

According to the lottery officials, this is the longest stretch without a Mega Millions jackpot winner. The last time there was a jackpot winner was of $120 million on Sept. 15 by a Wisconsin player.

Mega Million tickets are sold in 44 states along with Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

On the other hand, the Powerball lottery jackpot has now gone up to an estimated $730 million, for which the winning numbers will be drawn on Wednesday night. This is the first time that both the lotteries have topped $700 million simultaneously.

The chances of winning a jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million for Mega Millions and 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball.

The number of customers of ticket sales over the next few days is going to go higher than ever before, so be sure to get your masks on and keep the distance because we don’t want the pandemic to last any longer now!

Or, you guys can buy lottery tickets online as well – that is a good option as well if you want to stay safe and get your tickets from the comfort of your home.

The following are ten of the biggest Mega Million jackpots ever, along with where the tickets were purchased:

  • $1.54 billion – one winning ticket in South Carolina in October 2018.

Why Regular Dental Checkups Are Important for the Whole Family

Regular dentist check-ups are necessary for the detection of dental health issues early on. This helps you prevent the development of destructive dental problems and gum diseases that not only affect the orthodontic aesthetics of your facial features but are linked to strokes and heart diseases as well. Besides, regular check-ups will also help you avoid major surgeries and procedures and can guarantee a lifetime of healthy teeth. They also ensure a healthy digestive system since the digestion process begins at the mouth. It is great to always get advice and motivation from a dental professional.

Further, family dentistry options help you keep track of the whole family’s dental and general health at relatively affordable prices. An expert team of dentists can take care of your entire family’s needs without having to schedule multiple appointments for each member based on their age group. Read on to find out more about regular dental checkups and why they’re important for the whole family.

Building a Relationship

When you have a family dentist, it is much easier for you to build a relationship with them. They will be aware of your whole family’s health and will become a friendly face that you can turn to. Having a professional relationship with your dentist is important; however, exchanging a few jokes and casual conversations are recommended as this will keep you at ease when you’re at the office for a check-up. Moreover, children are often afraid of doctors and dentists in particular. With family dentists, your children will feel safer and less afraid if they can see that you have an amicable relationship with them. They will be able to see that you trust this professional, that you’ve known them for a long time, and that they’re in good hands. Building a good relationship with your medical professional will certainly ease your child’s anxiety when it’s time for a check-up.

Family dentists will also save you and your children the inconvenience of searching for a new dentist every now and then. Plus, visiting a dental professional with your whole family will set an example and teach your children about the importance of oral and dental care, as they’ll see everyone getting checked-up and will see it as an essential family activity. Surveys suggest that children who regularly go to the dentist grow up to schedule frequent check-ups because they’re more likely to recognize the importance of oral health. On top of that, maintaining good dental hygiene will prevent them from developing dental issues later on in life. This will also encourage them to do the same for their own family in their adulthood.

Tracking Family’s Dental Health

Most dentists specialize in offering services for different age groups. This can be very tiring for large families. Imagine having to make different appointments at 3 or more different doctors to check your toddler, teen, your partner, and then your own dental health. Not only is this troubling, but it will also discourage you from tracking your family’s dental health. When you sign up for a package deal, you maintain a record of your whole family’s dental treatment and health. This makes regular checkups easier, records and documents more attainable, and genetic dental problems immediately identifiable. There is no need to carry around documents and dental history each time you visit a different dentist for each member of your family. When one dentist is in charge, this reduces the chances that something will go undiscovered or important genetic information or history is left behind.

Tracking your family’s dental health and making frequent visits and checkups are vital to ensure your oral and your overall health. Issues such as plaque, tartar, cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay can be kept under control and treated early on when you pay frequent visits to your doctor. Family dentists also usually have a vast knowledge of all sorts of dental issues. Whether you need a dental filling, want your teeth straightened, or need to get dental retainers for your children, the practitioner will tend to your needs. Family dentistry is a very common practice in the U.S.; there are several reputable family dental professionals in California. The oral health experts behind Willow Pass Dental Care explain that family practitioners offer many services, including dental implants. Early treatment saves you the time and money that will go into more extensive procedures as a result of deteriorating oral conditions.

Consistent Service

When it comes to doctors and your general health, consistency is a very important factor. If you often alternate between doctors or pay a visit to a careless one, you will be putting your health at great risk. You need to visit a doctor who is aware of your current and past health conditions. They need to be aware of your general lifestyle and habits, as well. If you visit a doctor who knows nothing about you, they will not be able to properly diagnose you or predict possible issues in your health based on your personal habits.
