That option no longer exists. In its place, a new Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime gives individuals in their first four years of UK tax residence (after at least 10 consecutive years of non-UK residence) an exemption on foreign income and gains, regardless of domicile. After those four years, worldwide income and gains \u2014 including Dubai rental income and any sale proceeds \u2014 become taxable in the UK in the normal way.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"tr-uk-note\">If you're a long-standing UK resident rather than a recent arrival, the FIG exemption window doesn't apply to you \u2014 Dubai rental income and capital gains are reportable now, under the standard UK tax rules for UK residents.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- INHERITANCE TAX -->\n<div class=\"tr-uk-wrap tr-uk-tight\">\n  <div class=\"tr-uk-center\" style=\"margin-bottom:26px\">\n    <div class=\"tr-uk-kicker\">The change most buyers miss<\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"tr-uk-h2\">UK inheritance tax on your Dubai property<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"tr-uk-lead\">This is the change with the biggest long-term impact for UK buyers, and the one least understood.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <table class=\"tr-uk-compare\">\n    <tr><th><\/th><th>Before 6 April 2025<\/th><th>From 6 April 2025<\/th><\/tr>\n    <tr><td>Basis of UK IHT exposure<\/td><td>Domicile status<\/td><td>UK tax residence \u2014 \"long-term UK resident\" test<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><td>Trigger for worldwide IHT<\/td><td>Deemed UK domicile after 15 of the previous 20 years' residence<\/td><td>UK resident for at least 10 of the previous 20 tax years<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><td>Effect on Dubai property<\/td><td>Excluded from UK IHT if genuinely non-UK domiciled<\/td><td>Included in the worldwide estate once the residence test is met, regardless of domicile intentions<\/td><\/tr>\n  <\/table>\n  <div class=\"tr-uk-note\">Once you're a \"long-term UK resident\" under the new test, your Dubai property forms part of your worldwide estate for UK inheritance tax purposes on death \u2014 standard UK IHT rates and reliefs then apply to it, just as they would to a UK asset.
