In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with the EY Global Captive Network, Richard is joined by London-based Stephen Massey, Senior Manager in EMEIA for Financial Services (Insurance) Tax - Transfer Pricing at Ernst & Young LLP, to discuss how the international tax treatment of captives has changed over the years.

Stephen and Richard also discuss the global tax environment for captives in the context of the UK likely becoming a captive domicile in the very near future.

Stephen explains some of the reasons why a UK companymoving its captive 'home' may be advantageous from a tax simplification and compliance standpoint, in some cases.

The UK Chancellor is expected to confirm the introduction of a UK captive regime in her Mansion House speech on 15 July, which should then prompt the Bank of England and PRA to get on with designing the regulatory framework to hopefully be ready for launch by early 2026 or sooner.
