British domicile

British domicile is a legal concept determining a person’s permanent habitual residence, or 'home,' for tax and legal purposes. It’s not just where someone lives now, but where they consider their long-term home and intend to stay. Domicile is acquired through a combination of factors like birthplace, residence, and intentions. A person can be born in the UK but have a different domicile if they move abroad and intend to settle there permanently. Domicile matters because it influences taxation, inheritance rights, and legal jurisdiction. It’s distinct from nationality or citizenship, focusing instead on a person’s overall connection to a place.
