Investing in an offshore index tracker, domiciled UK, resident Thailand

[sonnycarrierharrison]

Me: UK citizen, resident in Thailand and the UK for tax purposes, no income arising in or remitted to Thailand

Wife: UK citizen, resident in Thailand for tax purposes, no income arising in or remitted to the UK

We intend to return to residence in the UK in the next five to twenty years, making us both UK-domiciled.

My understanding is that it would be both within the spirit and letter of the law for my wife to buy shares in an appropriate offshore jurisdiction, neither Thailand or the UK, and earn returns on them tax free. We would then repatriate the money to the UK when we move back there. We would be looking to put money in an index tracker of some sort.

Has anyone else done this or taken advice on a similar situation? Which offshore jurisdiction did you use? Any broker recommendations?
