Commentary on Sections

Schedule 1: Consequential Amendments

Part 1: Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988

Paragraph 9: section 18 of ICTA

3349.Paragraph 9 amends section 18 of ICTA so that subsections (1) to (4) apply only for corporation tax purposes. The income tax aspects of this provision are rewritten as follows:

Cases I and II

The income charged under Schedule D Case I or II in the source legislation is rewritten for income tax purposes in Chapter 2 of Part 2 of this Act.

Case III

3350.The income charged under Schedule D Case III in the source legislation is rewritten for income tax purposes in the following places in this Act:

3351.The corporation tax version of Schedule D Case III in section 18(3A) of ICTA will continue to work for corporation tax.

Cases IV and V

3352.Except in respect of foreign dividends, the charge on foreign income under these Cases in the source legislation has been integrated with the charge on equivalent types of UK income in this Act for income tax purposes. The charge under Case V in the source legislation on foreign dividends is rewritten for income tax purposes in Chapter 4 of Part 4 of this Act. The Cases continue to operate as amended by section 18(3A) to (3E) of ICTA for corporation tax purposes.

Case VI

3353.The provisions which are rewritten in this Act for income tax purposes, and which charge income to income tax under Schedule D Case VI in the source legislation, have been replaced by charges on each type of income. See the following Parts of this Act:

3354.Additionally, amendments have been made to all of the Schedule D Case VI provisions in ICTA and other enactments which are not being rewritten in this Act but which apply for income tax purposes (see the table in Part 1 of section 836B of ICTA, inserted by paragraph 339 of this Schedule, referred to in the amendment in paragraph 167 of this Schedule for section 392 of ICTA). The amendments remove references to income tax being charged under Schedule D Case VI and create free standing income tax charges. The Schedule D Case VI references have been retained where needed for corporation tax purposes.

3355.Some of the Schedule D Case VI provisions which are not rewritten in this Act are of an administrative nature. These provisions typically withdraw reliefs and operate under the source legislation by way of an assessment under Schedule D Case VI (see particularly section 30(4) of TMA, sections 307(1), 384(8), 384A(6) and 703(3) of and paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 15B to ICTA and paragraph 27(2) of Schedule 16 to FA 2002). These provisions are rewritten as simple assessments (in the case of section 30(4) of TMA, by the omission of subsection (4)). This is because the provisions that apply generally to income and amounts treated as income charged to income tax under Schedule D Case VI (sections 18, 59, 69 and 392 of ICTA) have no application to these provisions.
