Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003

[F1 554Z9 Remittance basis: [F2 A does not meet section 26A requirement] U.K.

(1) Subsection (2) applies if—

(a) the value of the relevant step, or a part of it, is “for” a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) as determined under section 554Z4,

(b) section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to A for the relevant tax year,

[F3 (c) A does not meet the requirement of section 26A for the relevant tax year (reading references there to the employee as references to A),]

(d) A's employment with B in the relevant tax year is employment with a foreign employer, and

(e) the duties of A's employment with B in the relevant tax year are performed wholly outside the United Kingdom.

[F4 (1A) But subsection (2) does not apply if section 24A applies in relation to A's employment with B for the relevant tax year.]

(2) A's employment income by virtue of section 554Z2(1), or the relevant part of it, is “taxable specific income” in a tax year so far as it is remitted to the United Kingdom in that year.

(3) For this purpose, any income which is remitted before A's employment with B starts is treated as being remitted in the tax year in which the employment starts.

(4) Subsection (5) applies if in the relevant tax year—

(a) A has associated employments, and

(b) the duties of the associated employments are not performed wholly outside the United Kingdom.

(5) The amount of A's employment income to which subsection (2) applies is limited to such amount as is just and reasonable, having regard to—

(a) A's employment income for the relevant tax year from all associated employments, together with A's employment with B,

(b) the proportion of that income [F5 (or of so much of it as is attributable to the UK part of the relevant tax year, if it was a split year as respects A)] which is general earnings to which section 22 applies or is employment income to which section 41A applies,

(c) the nature of and time devoted to the duties performed outside the United Kingdom, and those performed in the United Kingdom, in the relevant tax year [F6 (or the UK part of it)], and

(d) all other relevant circumstances,

and, if the amount of A's employment income to which subsection (2) would otherwise apply exceeds that limit, the amount of A's employment income to which that subsection applies is instead to be such amount as is just and reasonable.

(6) In this section “associated employments” means employments with B or with employers associated with B; and section 24(5) and (6) applies for the purposes of this subsection.]
