Independent financial advice for British expats in Kuwait

Kuwait is home to a significant community of British nationals working across the oil and gas, healthcare, engineering and financial sectors. Most are accumulating meaningful wealth. Most are receiving financial advice that is not independent.

IFA Private Office provides UK-qualified, fee-based, independent financial advice to British expats in Kuwait. We work by video and telephone. We have no commission interest in any recommendation we make.

The financial planning priorities for British expats in Kuwait

UK pension decisions. If you have a UK pension from previous employment, understanding your options, the implications of any transfer, and the effect of the April 2027 inheritance tax change on pension wealth requires UK-qualified, independent guidance. The advisers who most commonly approach British expats in Kuwait are paid by commission from the products they recommend.

Inheritance tax exposure. Being a non-UK resident does not remove UK inheritance tax exposure for UK domiciled individuals. If you are British, intend to return to the UK, and have spent most of your life there, your worldwide assets are likely still exposed to UK inheritance tax.

Investment planning. The absence of income tax in Kuwait creates opportunities for efficient wealth accumulation during your time there. How you structure those investments, and how you restructure them before returning to the UK, has significant long-term implications.

Return planning. Most British expats in Kuwait eventually return to the UK. The planning done in the period before that return is among the most valuable financial work you can do.
