Offshore Trust Advice and Compliance After UK Tax Changes: Why BCR Pro Is the Partner You Need

September 22, 2025

For many internationally mobile families, offshore trusts have always been central to protecting wealth, planning succession, and preserving financial security across generations. But with recent UK tax changes impacting the excluded property trust regime, it has become clear that what once worked may no longer be effective.

This shift has left many high-net-worth individuals asking: Is my trust structure still fit for purpose?

At BCR Pro, we believe the answer is not to abandon offshore trusts altogether, but to ensure they are carefully reviewed, restructured if necessary, and professionally managed in today’s more complex tax environment.

Why Offshore Trusts Still Matter

Even with legislative changes, offshore trusts remain a powerful tool for:

Protecting assets from creditors, litigation, or political instability

Planning succession across multiple jurisdictions with clarity and control

Maintaining flexibility in how family wealth is managed and distributed

Managing exposure to UK taxes on non-UK assets when structured correctly

The key difference now is that getting the structure right, and keeping it compliant, is more important than ever.
