Fewer people claimed non-dom tax status in UK ahead of Government crackdown
This was 400 fewer than the 2022-23 tax year, or a dip of about 0.5%.
The number of non-doms, according to self-assessment tax returns, stood 3,900 below that in the tax year ending 2020.
It indicates a slowdown in the number of people claiming the tax status following a post-pandemic resurgence.
Non-domiciled means UK residents whose permanent home, or their 'domicile' for tax purposes, is outside the UK.
The regime meant that so-called non-doms paid tax in the UK only on income generated in the UK – meaning any income earned overseas was exempt from British taxation.
However, the Labour Government abolished the non-dom tax status in April following backlash that wealthy residents could enjoy the benefits of living in the UK without paying as much tax.
Previous chancellor Jeremy Hunt estimated that scrapping the regime would raise about £2.7 billion for the Treasury by 2028-29.
Recent data showed the UK saw the biggest fall in billionaires on record amid the Government non-dom clampdown.
The Sunday Times Rich List said there were fewer of the world's 'super rich' coming to live in Britain.
HMRC's data published on Thursday showed that some £9 billion was raised from non-doms paying income tax, capital gains tax and national insurance last year.
This was a £107 million increase on the prior year, despite the dip in the number of individuals.

In total, £553 million extra will be spent per week across British households through the summer holidays, as families need more food at home, as well as extra extra snacks and drinks to keep the kids going. This comes as UK inflation rose to a near 18-month high this month, with food prices shooting up across the country for the third month running. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index inflation rose to 3.6% in June, up from 3.4% in May and the highest since January 2024. The rise in food prices has been described as a 'hammer blow' for shoppers. HOLD UP! Greggs Sausage Bean & Cheese Melts are now HALF PRICE! 😍 NOW £1.75, was £3.50! Offer ends 21.07.25.

One in ten parents (10%) have also relied on loans to manage their food bill, with 21% selling personal items to cover the cost. Iceland is once again offering a more flexible and interest-free alternative through the Iceland Food Club.

Returning customers can load up to £100 onto their Food Club card during school holiday top-up windows, once they have paid back their previous loan. The details of how to apply are here. Richard Walker, Executive Chairman of Iceland Foods, says: 'The summer holidays should be a time for families to relax and make memories, not worry about how they're going to afford their next food shop. But the reality for millions is very different. When we hear that nearly a quarter of parents are skipping meals so their children can eat, we know we have to step in.

People warned to check if they owe tax ahead of payment deadline this month
People must settle their tax bills by midnight on July 31 to avoid potential fines from HMRC. Income tax rises for Scots in April - how the changes affect you Scots have been urged to check now if they need to pay any tax for the 2024/25 financial year ahead of a looming payment deadline. Advice Direct Scotland has issued a reminder that people must settle their tax bills by midnight on Thursday, July 31, to avoid potential fines from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Those registered for self-assessment for the 2024/25 tax year may already have paid HMRC an initial instalment at the end of January, when tax returns for 2023/24 were also due. However, a second instalment is also due at the end of July, known as a 'payment on account', which goes towards their next tax bill. The payments are designed to help spread the cost of tax throughout the year and are calculated based on the previous year's tax bill. But the deadline is easy to miss. Paying the tax bill late can lead to financial penalties being issued by HMRC, with the amount depending on how much tax is owed and how late the payment is. To check if you need to pay something before July 31, Scots should login to their HMRC online account and check their self-assessment statement. If you know the tax you owe is going to be lower than last year, you can request a reduction in the payment on account, which can be done either online or by post. Andrew Bartlett, chief executive of Advice Direct Scotland, said: 'Paying a tax bill is a long way from most people's minds during the height of the summer, which is why it is so easy to miss this particular HMRC deadline. 'However, late payment fines will start to accrue if you forget about it, so make sure you login to your online account now and check if you need to act. 'If your situation has changed and you think you will be liable to pay less tax than previously, make sure to ask for a reduction, which will keep the money in your pocket.' He added: 'If you find the whole thing confusing, don't worry - the team is here to help Scots with self-assessment queries, completely free of charge. The service is backed by HMRC and provides an alternative to calling them directly.' Advice Direct Scotland offers a free tax helpline and website called which is backed by HMRC, to help people understand their tax obligations. Those who need help navigating the self-assessment process can call a specialist adviser on 0800 756 3381. As well as advice on self-assessment, staff can answer questions on a wide range of areas, from PAYE to National Insurance queries. They can also offer guidance on tax related to pensions, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and marriage allowance, as well as help with claiming Child Benefit and Tax Credits.
