Ive got a busy schedule today with drinking etc so cld you answer this for me.
I am a Non Domiciled Frenchman living in the UK with my English wife and want to plan ahead for Inheritance Tax (and any possible Capital Gains Tax). I am 67 and have lived in the UK for over 35 years. I have a non domiciled status as I originally intended to move back to France upon retirement. My wife was also granted temporary non domiciled status as she too intended to life in France once we were both retired.
We have three children, all married and they have their own children. It is because of the grandchildren that we are now thinking of staying in the UK.
We have a UK property worth circa £550k and property in France (which I inherited from my own parents and is in my name only) worth circa £250k. We also have some money in UK banks and also some money in a French bank. In our will all assets are to be left to the surviving spouse.
I know this is a complex area, so any help would be very much appreciated on the following questions:-
1) I have read, that despite being granted Non-Domicile status, I could be deemed a UK domicile as I have lived in the UK for over 20 years Is that true? 2) I have also read somewhere that unless we move to France, my wifes Non Domiciled status could be taken away or that for IHT she would be deemed to be UK domiciled if that is correct, how will that affect us? 3) Am I correct in thinking that for Non-Domiciled people, foreign assets are excluded for IHT purposes? Would the deemed-domicile affect this? 4) Am I correct in thinking that only UK assets are included in IHT (even for Non-Domiciled residents)? 5) Can I transfer money now from my French bank account to my UK bank account without being liable to any tax? 6) If the overseas assets are exempt from IHT, upon the a) first death and b) second death, can money held overseas (either from existing bank accounts or from the sale of the overseas property) be transferred to the UK to the surviving spouse or our children, without suffering any immediate CGT? How are the UK authorities made aware of any transfers into a UK bank account or do they not need to be made aware. 7) Now that we are considering staying in the UK, should we change our Non-Domiciled status so that we are both UK domiciled?
happy xmas joffy. u are obviously still stuck in the most boring profession in the world and never got out after your training. i feel for u. tax was never my bag i was a advisory/CF boy before i left. we always had tax nerds to crunch all those sorta problems for us.

u obviously never worked in cf which i did. the boring stuff like this was left to the backroom nerds to deal with and tax geeks. strange bunch which is why most leave the profession. obviously joffy never escaped. seriously feel for him this time of year having to face those issues daily and give gordon 40% of his wages on top as additional punishment

i reckon 85% of accountants working in a big 4/5 firm whatever it is nowadays wouldnt be able to answer that question if they werent a full time tax specialist. maybe more.

I am an equal partner with my wife and whilst its not the most exciting job in the world it pays very well for not many hours and much better than the 28th best poker player in europe. I also get to meet a lot of interesting peopel from various trades/proffessions etc which also means lots of corporate beanos.
Dont forget if you go busto i can offer you a 15k starting salary plus benefits which will include luncheon vouchers. These can be exchanged at the local bakers for donuts but please note luncheon vouchers are a taxable benefit.
Gl at the tables and Merry Xmas to you
Game over
Thankyou Arbby I am an equal partner with my wife and whilst its not the most exciting job in the world it pays very well for not many hours and much better than the 28th best poker player in europe. I also get to meet a lot of interesting peopel fr
wp gg joffy. sounds really exciting meeting small time business men and women and finance directors/jobs worth bean counters. you are making me so jealous. given the fact i did it for 5 years u dont have to tell me the upsides/downsides. i have been there and done it pal and like anyone else with a brain u leave after the training before u go**ers dealing with possibly the most boring group of pc yes men/women u will ever meet. anyone who is a partner in any firm deserves a huge salary to simply put up with the total dullness of having to answer questions each and every day like the one u posted

gordon always takes as big a lump as u get which must really annoy you because it did me. i got no problem with anyone in the profession i just leave really sorry for them having to give half their wages to a scottish miser after doing possibly the most boring job all year to actually earn them.

Surely after training you leave and start your own company.
Huge difference when you own a practice as opposed to working for a practice.
Anyway must get back to the frog if you cant help

u must have a hell of a small practice if after u gross up my winnings across all my gambling investments not just poker u think u earn more than me. me earning £100k is like u having to earn £200k + after tax and exs. maybe u do. would be surprised if the average partner salary for a big 4/5 firm is more than £250k never mind a one man band

You never go out in pubs and socialise etc.You wldnt introduce yrself even if you did, and if you were challenged you deny who you are due (umpire vouchers for this at this point) due to low self esteem/fear of a hiding etc.

joffy give up u work in a dull industry probably the dullest. although u meet loads of 'interesting' people. u pay half ur earnings to gordon and have to answer mind numbingly dull questions like the first post shows and deal with equally mind numbingly dull people who actually enjoy answering those types of questions. anyone on here knows which of the two lifestyles they would rather have mine or yours. its a no brainer.

A life of a proffesional successfull poker player is obviously far more interesting than my career. Your not you dont win enough to class yourself as that imo.
As for the proffessional gambling all i have seen of that is you laying a 1.01 shot to win £50 hardly David Nevison their.
If I had of said I ran a farm you wld of owned a tractor company somewhere in your other world.
The bottom line is quality of life is the only thign important to me and mine is excellent. I have lots of friends through football work and poker and I no you miss out on the pokerside. You dotn look sporty so I jsut hope you find them at the dog track.

Arbboy as an accountant I think you should assume he is much lower tax rate, surely any good accountant is putting the cash through corporate tax rather than income tax in his position , thought any number monkey would have known that :D

i do my hours like any job. i didnt play for 4 days all last week thurs-sunday and still took down the leaderboard. a lot of people would like my lifestyle rather than joffys i am sure. get up when i want work when i want etc etc

i DID THE MATHS, posted it on another thread and got no response.
looking at scope you have played 13,780 games over A 20 MONTH PERIOD. that equates to $55,120 in cake. however you have lost $13,623 playing poker, giving a profit of $41,497.
this is however a 20 month figure. to get a 12 month figure i divide by 20 and multiply by 12 to give a profit of $24,898.
obviously there are leaderboard payments to go on there. but as punterz pointed out there were many, many weeks at the start of the year when he won the leaderboard. there was also a 2 month period when there were no leaderboards !
being uber, uber, generous i will allocate you 400$ for an entire 44 week period. this makes $17,600.
so doing the maths i give you a 2009 profit from stts of $42,498, which is decent money, but less than half of what you claim to have made from bf poker in 2009.
either im missing something or you are deluded.

u are missing several things. $18k aussie millions package which has been received in cash. the fact that virtually all the games have been played in 2009 because i was living in malta in 2008 and only very rarely played on the site for legal reasons so ur ratios dont apply.
thirdly my mtt profits for the year which according to my sheet are $20k after buy ins have been deducted. these included $13k for 4th in the $100 gtd wsope $1k buy in and numerous other wins such as last night in the eyes wide shut.
other bonuses such as the $2kcash chase bonus in the year or whatever it was called.
add this up and u should easily get to $100k. what was ur earnings on bf chip this year?

my earnings from betfair poker this year are about 2 million dollars.
i won a chipset, but they gave me the cash instead which i think was 250k. ditto the hoodie.
i have probably won half a million playing mtts, according to something i wrote down on the back of a cigarette packet when drunk, so it must be factually correct.
bf also pay me 41k per annum retainer for being a prop in 2$ SUPER TURBOS.
think i got 3/4 million pounds for the cash chase thing as well.
youre the accountant, do the maths. :-)

i won $13k in the $100k 2 months ago in one mtt. maybe u should step above the micro stakes occ and watch the results of bigger games before u comment.

ive watched a fair few of your games arb, and i think your sharkscope rating of 72 flatters you. as usual you highlight your biggest cash of the year and neglect to mention all the losses.
the regular hand histories posted involving you highlight the fact that you are a cake **, with minimal talent for the game.
fair play to you for finding a way to earn money, but even if i believed all the crap you have spouted today,that bf have given you 18k rather than the aussie package, and credited you with 20k in mtt winnings it still dont add up to 100k.
i think you are a big bag of wind, but you make me laugh.
ooooh me ribs.ive watched a fair few of your games arb, and i think your sharkscope rating of 72 flatters you. as usual you highlight your biggest cash of the year and neglect to mention all the losses.the regular hand histories posted involving you
what 'crap' have i spouted? everything i have said is factually correct. i came 2nd in eyes wide last night and won the $1200 gtd last night. its not like mtt wins are rare for me. i won the $18k twice in 2009 before it was changed. maybe u dont keep detailed records at your micro stakes level so have no idea how much u make. i do keep detailed records and know exactly how much i have won and lost. rework your 20months into 12 months ratio to make it factually record. you can go on scope to see how many games i have played in 2009 for more detailed info if you are struggling

arbboy did betfair cash the oz package for you and if u dont mind me asking for how much,iam guessing after the freerolls their will be a glut of packages for sale,so good for you to get yours off your hands, shame you backed out of the big game though it deffo would of made the best thread of next year.

how much have u made this year chip ? more or less than me?
wont know till i get my p60 sunshine, but probably more than you. i also get to talk to people in my job, and some of them are attractive women.
however if i factor in that i also spend some of my money on clothes, it may be a close run thing.

oh i see what you did there, you measured my earnings in pounds, after measuring your "winnings" in dollars. very clever me old china, theres no flies on you.
you earn $60,000 max per annum. anything else is pure bull. even accepting you have friends, and even stretching my imagination to breaking point and imagining that friend was a professional punter, theres no way he or she is going to pay way, way over the odds for a aussie millions package.
i play recreationally, and i bet on sports recreationally. if i play at micro stakes as you allege , let me ask you this : why is my sharkscope ability rating higher than yours, given it factors in the stake played at ?
bottom line, you make more money playing poker than me as its your full time job. however i am a better player than you.
lets just agree to disagree.
answer me this tho, are you swerving the aussie millions out of fear of being decked ?

how is he paying over the odds when he is just giving me the buy in chip? i dont get it? he is going to buy in anyway so he has given me the cash instead of turning up at the casino and giving them the money. how has he paid 'wayway over the odds' as u say?

i have answered this question in my previous post. given that i have been a professional punter for several years why would you have to stretch ur imagination for me to know numerous pro punters and poker players????
i play recreationally, and i bet on sports recreationally. if i play at micro stakes as you allege , let me ask you this : why is my sharkscope ability rating higher than yours, given it factors in the stake played at ?
u play micro stake donks probably one table at a time - i on the other hand play the biggest games on the site 6-10 tables at a time against obviously mainly pros and the best players on the site. therefore you are highly likely to have a much better roi than me. do u seriously think if i played at your micro stakes that i wouldnt crush them? surely even a micro stakes donk like u understands that chip?
bottom line, you make more money playing poker than me as its your full time job. however i am a better player than you.
i thought the whole idea of poker was to make money. i get more**in a month than u have made with**over the whole life of ur account.
lets just agree to disagree.
answer me this tho, are you swerving the aussie millions out of fear of being decked ?
why would i want to fly to the other side of the world 30 hours each way to play one poker event? if people do good luck to them. if i want to play a major event there are plenty in europe each year without the need to fly to the other side of the world to play them.

you must be caking on 10 different sites and playing 24/7 to have got more in a month than my lifetime winnings great man. :-)
in all seriousness in terms of d2n's i dont think theres much difference in standard between the levels i play at and the ones you play at. theres certainly players currently playing the 24$ d2ns like myself, kunoba and tankdahl who could, and do step up successfully.
i played 60$ d2ns earlier this month with the likes of sea breeze and sven vath and the games are slightly tighter but not vastly different.
i was watching a couple of 200$ d2ns last night and the play was worse if anything.
in one game where you had been playing pretty tight, and hadnt played a hand for 3 rotations, you make a standard button shove of 979with blinds 75/150 with a7 , and the bb who has 1050 after paying his blind calls with 9/10.
that didnt seem an isolated incident on what ive seen of the games .
shame about the millions but i take your point.
