(e)the individual is not liable to income tax on the amount or value of the benefit (apart from section 731).
(2)Income is treated as arising to the individual for income tax purposes for any tax year for which section 733 provides that income arises.

F46Words in s. 732(1)(b) substituted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 46 para. 72 of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2013 (c. 29), Sch. 46 para. 64 (with Sch. 46 para. 73)
(1)To find the amount (if any) of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year in respect of benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) take the following steps.
Step 1
Identify the amount or value of such benefits received by the individual in the tax year and in any earlier tax years in which section 732 has applied.
The sum of those amounts and values is “the total benefits”.
Step 2
Deduct from the total benefits the total amount of income treated as arising to the individual under section 732(2) for earlier tax years as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations.
The result is “the total untaxed benefits”.
Step 3
Identify the amount of any income which—
(a)arises in the tax year to a person abroad, and
(b)as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations can be used directly or indirectly for providing a benefit for the individual.
That amount is “the relevant income of the tax year” in relation to the individual and the tax year.
Step 4
Add together the relevant income of the tax year and the relevant income of earlier tax years in relation to the individual (identified as mentioned in Step 3).
The sum of those amounts is “total relevant income”.
Step 5
Deduct from total relevant income—
(a)the amount deducted at Step 2, and
(b)any other amount which may not be taken into account because of section 743(1) and (2) (no duplication of charges).
The result is “the available relevant income”.
Step 6
Compare the total untaxed benefits and the available relevant income.
The amount of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year is the total untaxed benefits unless the available relevant income is lower.
If the available relevant income is lower, it is the amount of income treated as so arising.
(2)Subsection (1) is subject to section 734 (reduction in amount charged: previous capital gains tax charge).
(3)See also section 740(5) to (7) (which makes provision about relevant income and benefits where relevant transactions include both transactions before 5 December 2005 and transactions after 4 December 2005 and exemptions under this Chapter cease to apply).
(1)This section applies if—
(a)benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) are received in a tax year,
(b)for that tax year the whole or part of any benefits so provided is a capital payment to which section 87 or 89(2) of, or paragraph 8 of Schedule 4C to, TCGA 1992 applies (chargeable gains: gains attributed to beneficiaries),
(c)it is such a payment because the total untaxed benefits exceed the available relevant income (see Step 6 in section 733(1)) and so it is not treated as income arising to the individual under section 732(2), and
(d)because of that capital payment chargeable gains are treated as accruing to the individual in that or a subsequent tax year under any of the provisions referred to in paragraph (b).
(2)For any tax year after one in which such chargeable gains are so treated, the amount of income treated as arising to the individual under section 732(2) in respect of benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) as a result of the transfer or operations in question is calculated as follows.
(3)The amount is calculated under section 733(1) as if the total untaxed benefits were reduced by the amount of those gains.
(4)In this section “the total untaxed benefits” and “the available relevant income” have the same meaning as in section 733(1) (see Steps 2 and 5).
[F47(5)References in this section to chargeable gains treated as accruing to an individual include offshore income gains treated as arising to the individual (see [F48regulations 20 and 22 to 24 of the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/3001)]).]

(i)the benefits, and
(ii)the relevant income,

(2)In subsection (1) references to a step are to a step in section 733(1).

Step 3
After that, place so much of that income as is foreign in the order in which it arose (starting with the earliest income to arise).
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 to 3.
For this purpose, read references to the relevant income for the earliest tax year as references to the relevant income for the first tax year after the last tax year in relation to which those Steps have been undertaken.
(4)For the purposes of subsection (3) relevant income is “foreign” where it would be relevant foreign income if it were the individual's.
(5)For those purposes treat income for a period as arising immediately before the end of the period.
(6)Subsection (1)(d) does not apply if the income may not be taken into account because the individual has been charged to income tax under section 731 by reason of the income.]

(b)if the transaction so mentioned is an associated operation, the relevant transfer to which it relates.
(14)Subsection (15) applies if—
(a)subsection (2) would apply in relation to a transaction but for the individual being unable to satisfy an officer of Revenue and Customs for the purposes of condition B that the transaction meets the requirements set out in subsection (6), but

(1)This subsection applies if a person—
(a)would have been treated as—
(i)making qualifying accrued income profits, or
(ii)making qualifying accrued income profits of a greater amount,
in an interest period, but
(b)is not so treated because of being resident or domiciled outside the United Kingdom throughout any tax year in which the interest period (or part of it) falls.
(2)If subsection (1) applies, this Chapter applies as if the amount which the person would be treated as making or, as the case may be, the additional amount were income becoming payable to the person.
(3)Accordingly, any reference in this Chapter to income of (or payable or arising to) a person abroad must be read as including a reference to such an amount.
(4)This subsection applies if income consisting of interest which falls due at the end of an interest period—
(a)would have been income as respects which a person is entitled to an exemption, or an exemption of a greater amount, from liability to income tax under section 679 (interest on securities involving accrued income losses: general), but
(b)is not such income because it is income of a person who is resident or domiciled outside the United Kingdom throughout any tax year in which the interest period (or part of it) falls.
(5)If subsection (4) applies, for the purposes of this Chapter the interest is treated as reduced by the amount of the exemption or, as the case may be, the additional exemption.
(6)In this section—
(a)expressions which are also used in Chapter 2 of Part 12 (accrued income profits) have the same meaning as in that Chapter (but see subsection (7)), and
(b)“qualifying accrued income profits” means accrued income profits which are treated as made—
(i)under section 628(5), or
(ii)under section 630(2) in respect of a transfer of variable rate securities.
(7)In the case of qualifying accrued income profits within sub-paragraph (ii) of the definition of that expression in subsection (6)(b)—
(a)references in subsection (1)(a) to making qualifying accrued income profits in an interest period are to be read as making them in the tax year in which the settlement day falls, and
