Someone with non-domiciled status, sometimes called a 'non-dom', is a person living (i.e. resident for tax purposes) in the United Kingdom who is considered under British law to be domiciled (i.e. with their permanent home) in another country. This can have significant tax advantages for the wealthy. In 2010, non-doms became a political issue. Note that this status is not the same as citizenship; a non-dom may be a British passport-holder, or may be a foreign national.
