To have a domicile of choice you have to have very very strong ties with the country that you are nominating.
However, ISTM that unless a person is currently resident in the UK they would have no need to ask the IR for a changed domicile to save tax because they could save the tax an easier way.
But if a UK domiciled person is currently resident in the UK they will have great difficulty showing the reason why they think they should be domicilied elsewhere.

They need to chase every penny to pay for them.

I'm tempted to stay under the 40% tax bracket this year so they can't have anything extra out of me.

Even if you claim exemption to have your interest paid gross, any UK bank or building society is compelled to send details of any interest you earned to HMRC. Just like they send you a statement of same for tax purposes.
Even if you get your interest paid gross, you must still declare it on your tax return - no exceptions.
Not doing so just makes you look 'dodgy' in HMRC's eyes and worthy of further investigation - if only they had the manpower to do so.

If they were to refuse to accept that it can change, it is really a form of nationality. But I don't think you request a domicile, there simply is one (and only one); the only question that could arise is of establishing what it is.

I know a few people with sizeable wads of money in the bank who are higher rate tax payers and they never declare the interest earned and nothing ever seems to come of it. Does the tax man know or care?

I'm in Switzerland. Which means I'm not affected quite as much by EU legislation either.

You only need that form if you are resident (ordinarily resident) in the UK and claiming non-domicility in order to reduce your tax bill.

And anyone who's bought a house in this country, will understand that it's a pretty strong indication of intention to stay!

And lots of non-doms in the city (there are 1000's) own UK property and live here 365 days a year, because they were born overseas and have property there too. It's much harder to change your domicile from the one you were born with.
