‘Don’t tell me you love me, show me’: On the growing pushback against Labour’s non-dom overhaul
A House of Lords event last week underlined growing disquiet over the government’s non-dom tax reforms, reports Knight Frank's Tom Bill - but any new direction on policy may have to wait until the autumn.

Tom Bill is Head of UK Residential Research, producing reports that include Knight Frank’s flagship Prime Central London indices, the Super Prime London Insight and the London Residential Review. He has written detailed reports on London sub-markets and contributes to The Wealth Report and Global Cities report. Tom, a former Bloomberg and Reuters property journalist, is a regular media contributor on the London property market and has presented at events in Europe and the Middle East.
