4. When someone living outside the UK dies
If your permanent home (‘domicile’) is abroad, Inheritance Tax is only
paid on your UK assets, for example property or bank accounts you have
in the UK.

It’s not paid on ‘excluded assets’ like:
- foreign currency accounts with a bank or the Post Office
- overseas pensions
- holdings in authorised unit trusts and open-ended investment companies
>> There are different rules if you have assets in a trust
>> or government gilts, or you’re a member of visiting armed forces.

最後一項，英國的 ETF 應該是算在裡面吧？
