Summary
Consultation on a re-domiciliation regime to make it easier for
foreign companies to change their place of incorporation to the
UK.
This consultation closes at
11:59pm on 19 June 2026
Consultation description
This consultation seeks views on the detailed design for an
inward corporate re-domiciliation regime that would make it
possible for a foreign company to re-domicile to the UK without
having to change its legal identity.
These proposals are based on recommendations set out in the
Independent Expert Panel
on Corporate Re-domiciliation's report and follow an initial consultation in
2021.
Under current processes, moving a company's place of
incorporation to the UK involves the creation of a new legal
identity. This is costly, complex and can introduce commercial
risks due to the need to transfer assets and contracts. An inward
re-domiciliation regime would make it easier for foreign
companies to transfer their place of incorporation to the UK by
introducing a specific process that allows the company to change
their place of incorporation while maintaining their legal
identity.
Economic growth is the number one mission of this government. By
making it easier for companies to move their place of
incorporation to the UK we will maximise opportunities for
increased investment and skilled jobs.
The consultation seeks responses from:
- businesses
- business representatives
- non-governmental organisations
- members of the public
- any other interested parties
