31st Annual International Private Client Tax Conference: private wealth seeking shelter and opportunity alike

1 Mar - 3 Mar 2026

Session information

Home is where the heart is … or the taxman says! Global mobility and the digital nomad

Tuesday 3 March (1345 - 1500)

Description

As tempting as it could sound to pack your bags and leave the rat race behind, unfortunately there is no such thing as being a ‘citizen of the world’ when it comes to the tax authorities! In this session, our speakers will discuss how countries are succeeding or failing in attracting the new generation of internationally mobile wealth creators. As well as illustrating some of the opportunities available, the panel will share some cautionary tales of when clients have ended up feeling ‘stuck’ rather than ‘mobile’!
