Reports Say Lakshmi Mittal Plans Move to Dubai as UK Tax Overhaul Nears

The reported relocation is tied to concerns over inheritance-tax exposure ahead of the Labour government’s Nov. 26 budget.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing The Sunday Times report that Mittal intends to spend most of his time in Dubai, with purchases linked to the new Naïa Island development.
  • Inheritance tax, reportedly up to 40%, is cited as the key driver rather than income or capital gains measures.
  • Dubai’s zero inheritance tax and clearer rules on global assets are presented as attractions for ultra-wealthy residents.
  • Coverage says Mittal already owns a Dubai mansion, has reportedly bought tracts on Naïa Island set to complete around 2029, and that the project will feature the region’s first Cheval Blanc maison.
  • Reports link the timing to the UK budget targeting wealthy residents, noting an earlier ‘exit tax’ idea was floated then dropped.
