A Non-domiciled person is an individual who is living in the United Kingdom but their permanent home is elsewhere.
If a Non-domiciled person earns less than £2000 in foreign income and gains, and does not transfer this into the UK, they are not required to do anything with UK tax.
However, if they make more than £2000, the Non-domiciled person is required to report the earning to HMRC via a Self Assessment. Then, they have a choice. They can either pay UK tax on this income or, they can claim the Remittance Basis where they only have to pay tax on the money brought into the country.
