809JSection 809I: order of remittancesU.K.

(1)If section 809I applies, the following steps are to be taken for the purpose of determining the income or gains treated in a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) as remitted to the United Kingdom by the individual.

Step 1

Find the total amount of—

(a)the individual's nominated income and gains, and

(b)the individual's remittance basis income and gains,

that have been remitted to the United Kingdom in the relevant tax year.

This amount is “the relevant amount”.

Step 2

Find the amount of foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year (other than income or chargeable gains nominated under section 809C) that is within each of the categories of income and gains in paragraphs (a) to (h) of subsection (2).

If none of sections 809B, 809D and 809E apply to the individual for that year, treat those amounts as nil (and accordingly go to step 6).

Step 3

Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil.

If that amount does not exceed the relevant amount, treat the individual as having remitted the income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).

Otherwise, treat the individual as having remitted the relevant proportion of each kind of income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).

“The relevant proportion” is the relevant amount divided by the amount determined under step 2 for that paragraph.

Step 4

Reduce the relevant amount by the amount taken into account under step 3.

Step 5

If the relevant amount (as reduced under step 4) is not nil, start again at step 3.

In step 3, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step.

Step 6

If the relevant amount (as reduced) is not nil once steps 3 to 5 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (2) for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil, start again at step 2.

In step 2, read the reference to the foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year as a reference to such of the foreign income and gains of the individual for the appropriate tax year as had not been remitted by the beginning of the relevant tax year.

“The appropriate tax year” is the latest tax year which is—

(a)before the last tax year for which step 2 has been undertaken, and

(b)a tax year for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual.

(2)The kinds of income and gains are—

(a)relevant foreign earnings (other than those subject to a foreign tax),

(b)foreign specific employment income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),

(c)relevant foreign income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),

(d)foreign chargeable gains (other than gains subject to a foreign tax),

(e)relevant foreign earnings subject to a foreign tax,

(f)foreign specific employment income subject to a foreign tax,

(g)relevant foreign income subject to a foreign tax, and

(h)foreign chargeable gains subject to a foreign tax.

(3)In this section the individual's “nominated income and gains” are the total income and chargeable gains nominated by the individual under section 809C for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year.

(4)In step 1 of subsection (1) the individual's “remittance basis income and gains” are the foreign income and gains of the individual for all the tax years (up to and including the relevant tax year) for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual, apart from the individual's nominated income and gains.

(5)In step 6 of subsection (1) the reference to income or gains being remitted is—

(a)as respects any tax year before section 809I applies, to income or gains being remitted to the United Kingdom, and

(b)as respects any tax year in relation to which that section applies, to income or gains treated under this section as so remitted.

(6)In subsection (2) “foreign tax” means any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.

(c)if the property or service is enjoyed by relevant persons in the same way, and on the same terms, as it may be enjoyed by the general public or by a section of the general public.

Remittance of income and gains: transfers from mixed fundsU.K.

809QSections 809L and 809P: transfers from mixed fundsU.K.

(1)This section applies for the purposes mentioned in subsection (2) where condition A in section 809L is met and—

(a)the property or consideration for the service is (wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from, a transfer from a mixed fund, or

(b)a transfer from a mixed fund, or anything deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from such a transfer, is used as mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).

[F69(1A)But this section must be read subject to section 809RA.]

(2)The purposes referred to in subsection (1) are—

(a)determining whether condition B in section 809L is met, and

(b)if it is met, determining (under section 809P) the amount of income or chargeable gains remitted.

(3)The extent to which the transfer is of the individual's income or chargeable gains is to be determined as follows.

Step 1

For each of the categories of income and capital in paragraphs (a) to (i) of subsection (4), find (applying section 809R) the amount of income or capital of the individual for the relevant tax year in the mixed fund immediately before the transfer.

“The relevant tax year” is the tax year in which the transfer occurs.

Step 2

Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil.

If that amount does not exceed the amount of the transfer, treat the transfer as containing the income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).

Otherwise, treat the transfer as containing the relevant proportion of each kind of income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).

“The relevant proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by the amount determined under step 1 for that paragraph.

Step 3

Treat the amount of the transfer as reduced by the amount taken into account under step 2.

Step 4

If the amount of the transfer (as reduced under step 3) is not nil, start again at step 2.

In step 2, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step in relation to the transfer.

Step 5

If the amount of the transfer (as reduced under step 3) is not nil once steps 2 and 3 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (4) for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil, start again at step 1.

In step 1, read the reference to the relevant tax year as a reference to the tax year immediately before the last tax year for which step 1 has been undertaken in relation to the transfer.

(4)The kinds of income and capital are—

(a)employment income (other than income within paragraph (b), (c) or (f)),

(b)relevant foreign earnings (other than income within paragraph (f)),

(c)foreign specific employment income (other than income within paragraph (f)),

(d)relevant foreign income (other than income within paragraph (g)),

(e)foreign chargeable gains (other than chargeable gains within paragraph (h)),

(f)employment income subject to a foreign tax,

(g)relevant foreign income subject to a foreign tax,

(h)foreign chargeable gains subject to a foreign tax, and

(i)income or capital not within another paragraph of this subsection.

(5)In subsection (4) “foreign tax” means any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.

(6)In this section “mixed fund” means money or other property which, immediately before the transfer, contains or derives from—

(a)more than one of the kinds of income and capital mentioned in subsection (4), or

(b)income or capital for more than one tax year.

(7)References in this section to the amount of the transfer include the market value of it.

(8)References in this section and section 809R to anything deriving from income or capital within paragraph (i) of subsection (4) do not include—

(a)income or gains within any of paragraphs (a) to (h) of that subsection, or

(b)anything deriving from such income or gains.

809RSection 809Q: composition of mixed fundU.K.

(1)This section applies for the purposes of step 1 of section 809Q(3) (composition of mixed fund).

(2)Treat property which derives wholly or in part (and directly or indirectly) from an individual's income or capital for a tax year as consisting of or containing that income or capital.

(3)If a debt relating (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) to property is at any time satisfied (wholly or in part) by—

(a)an individual's income or capital for a tax year, or

(b)anything deriving (directly or indirectly) from such income or capital,

from that time treat the property as consisting of or containing the income or capital if and to the extent that it is just and reasonable to do so.

(4)Treat an offshore transfer from a mixed fund as containing the appropriate proportion of each kind of income or capital in the fund immediately before the transfer.

“The appropriate proportion” means the amount (or market value) of the transfer divided by the market value of the mixed fund immediately before the transfer.

(5)A transfer from a mixed fund is an “offshore transfer” for the purposes of subsection (4) if and to the extent that section 809Q does not apply in relation to it.

(6)Treat a transfer from a mixed fund as an “offshore transfer” (and section 809Q as not applying in relation to it, if it otherwise would do) if and to the extent that, at the end of a tax year in which it is made—

(a)section 809Q does not apply in relation to it, and

(b)on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made at that time, section 809Q will not apply in relation to it.

(7)In this section ‘mixed fund’ means money or other property containing or deriving from—

(a)more than one of the kinds of income and capital mentioned in section 809Q(4), or

(b)income or capital for more than one tax year.

(8)If section 809Q applies in relation to part of a transfer, apply that section in relation to that part before applying subsection (4) in relation to the rest of the transfer.

(9)If section 809Q applies in relation to more than one transfer from a mixed fund, when undertaking step 1 in relation to the second or any subsequent transfer take into account the effect of step 2 of section 809Q(3) (composition of transfer) as it applied in relation to each earlier transfer.

[F70809RASpecial mixed fund rules for certain employment casesU.K.

(1)This section applies if—

(a)an individual has general earnings from an employment for a tax year,

(b)those earnings include both general earnings within section 15(1) of ITEPA 2003 (“section 15(1) earnings”) and general earnings within section 26(1) of that Act (“section 26(1) earnings”),

(c)at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, or sums deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, are paid into an account in that tax year at a time (a “relevant time”) when the account is a qualifying account of the individual, and

(d)at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, or sums deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, are also paid into the account in that tax year at a relevant time.

(2)If this section applies, the composition of each transfer made from the account in that tax year at a relevant time is to be determined as follows—

Step 1 Suppose that all the condition A transfers made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time had been a single transfer made from the account at the end of the tax year.
Step 2 Suppose that all the other transfers made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time had been a single offshore transfer made at the end of the tax year immediately after the single transfer mentioned in step 1.
Step 3 Applying those suppositions—
(a)
find under section 809Q(3) the extent to which the single transfer mentioned in step 1 is of the individual's income or chargeable gains, and
(b)
find under section 809R(4) the content of the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.
Step 4 Each transfer made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time is to be treated as containing the specified proportion of each kind of income or capital contained in the relevant deemed transfer.“The specified proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by the amount of the relevant deemed transfer.“The relevant deemed transfer” is—
(a)
if the transfer is a condition A transfer, the single transfer mentioned in step 1, and
(b)
otherwise, the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.

(3)Subsection (2) applies in determining the composition of a transfer for the purposes of sections 809Q and 809R but it does not otherwise affect the date on which a transfer is considered to occur for the purposes of this Chapter.

(4)If the tax year is the tax year in which the account becomes a qualifying account, for the purpose of applying section 809Q(3) in relation to the single transfer mentioned in step 1 of subsection (2), treat the part of the tax year falling before the qualifying date for the account as a separate tax year.

(5)If the account ceases to be a qualifying account of the individual during the tax year other than as a result of a breach of the deposit rule—

(a)subsection (2) has effect as if references to the end of the tax year were to the end of the day on which the account ceases to be a qualifying account, and

(b)for the purpose of applying section 809Q(3) in relation to the single transfer mentioned in step 1 of subsection (2), treat the part of the tax year falling after the day mentioned in paragraph (a) as a separate tax year.

(6)A transfer from the account is a “condition A transfer” if and to the extent that—

(a)condition A in section 809L is met, and

(b)either—

(i)the property or consideration for the service is (wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from, the transfer, or

(ii)the transfer, or anything deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from the transfer, is used as mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).

(7)A transfer from the account is an “other transfer” if and to the extent that it is not a condition A transfer.

(8)Treat a transfer as an “other transfer” if and to the extent that, at the end of the tax year—

(a)it is not a condition A transfer, and

(b)on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made at that time, it will not become a condition A transfer.

(9)If the account ceases to be a qualifying account of the individual during the tax year other than as a result of a breach of the deposit rule, subsection (8) has effect as if the reference to the end of the tax year were to the end of the day on which the account ceases to be a qualifying account.

(10)“Qualifying account” and “the qualifying date” for an account are defined in section 809RB.

(11)For the purposes of this section and sections 809RB to 809RD—

(a)“employment” is to be read in accordance with section 4(1) of ITEPA 2003, and includes an office (as read in accordance with section 5(3) of that Act),

(b)whether general earnings are “for” a tax year is to be determined as for the purposes of the employment income Parts of ITEPA 2003 (see section 3(2) of that Act),

(c)a reference to anything “paid into” an account includes anything credited to the account by whatever means, and

(d)references to a breach of the deposit rule are to be read in accordance with section 809RC.

(b)is brought to or received in the United Kingdom in order to be used by a relevant person to make a qualifying investment.

(4)Subsection (1)(b) includes a case where income or gains would be treated under section 809Y as remitted to the United Kingdom by virtue of the relevant event.

(5)Subsection (2) applies by virtue of subsection (3)(b) to the extent only that the investment is made within the period of 45 days beginning with the day on which the money or other property is brought to or received in the United Kingdom.

(6)Where some but not all of the money or other property is used to make the investment within that 45-day period, the part of the income or gains to which subsection (2) applies is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis.

809VBFailure to invest within 45 daysU.K.

(1)This section applies to any portion of the income or gains to which section 809VA(2) does not apply because the investment was not made within the period mentioned in section 809VA(5) (“the 45-day period”).

(2)That portion is to be treated as not remitted to the United Kingdom to the extent that the remaining money or other property is taken offshore within the 45-day period.

(3)Where some but not all of the remaining money or other property is taken offshore within the 45-day period, the part of the income or gains to which subsection (2) applies is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis.

(4)If any remaining money or other property is taken offshore within the 45-day period, nothing in subsection (2) prevents anything subsequently done in relation to it (or anything deriving from it) from counting as a remittance of the underlying income or gains to the United Kingdom at the time when the thing is subsequently done.

(5)A reference to the “remaining” money or other property is to so much of the money or other property brought to or received in the United Kingdom as is not used within the 45-day period to make the investment (which may in some cases be all of it).

(3)The shares or the person's rights under the loan (or both) forming the subject of the investment are referred to as “the holding”.

(5)Conditions A and B are defined in sections 809VD and 809VF.

(6)A reference in this section to “shares” includes any securities.

(7)If a loan agreement authorises a company to draw down amounts of a loan over a period of time—

(a)entry into the agreement does not count for the purposes of this section as the making of a loan, but

(b)a separate loan is to be treated as made each time an amount is drawn down under the agreement.

(8)Accordingly—

(a)a separate investment is treated as made each time an amount is drawn down under the agreement, and

(b)the reference in subsection (3) to the person's rights under the loan applies only to so much of the person's rights as relate to the drawdown of that particular amount.

[F90(b)the value is received from any person in circumstances that are directly or indirectly attributable to the investment, and]

(c)the value is received other than by virtue of a disposal that is itself a potentially chargeable event.

(3)But the extraction of value rule is not breached merely because a relevant person receives value that—

(a)is treated for income tax or corporation tax purposes as the receipt of income or would be so treated if that person were liable to such tax, and

(b)is paid or provided to the person in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms.

F91(4). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(9)An event listed in subsection (1) does not count as a potentially chargeable event if it is due to an insolvency step taken for genuine commercial reasons (but this does not prevent the extraction of any value in connection with the insolvency step from counting as a potentially chargeable event).

809VIThe appropriate mitigation stepsU.K.

(1)If the potentially chargeable event is a disposal of all or part of the holding, the appropriate mitigation steps are regarded as taken if the whole of the disposal proceeds have been taken offshore or re-invested.

(2)For any other case, the appropriate mitigation steps are regarded as taken if—

(a)P has disposed of the entire holding (or so much of it as P retains when the potentially chargeable event occurs), and

(b)the whole of the disposal proceeds have been taken offshore or re-invested.

(3)But if the disposal proceeds exceed X, subsections (1) and (2)(b) apply only to so much of the proceeds as is equal to X.

(4)“X” is—

(a)the sum originally invested, less

(b)so much of that sum as has, on previous occasions involving the same investment—

(i)been taken into account in determining the affected income or gains under section 809VG(2),

(ii)been taken offshore or re-invested in order to avoid the application of that section, or

(iii)been used to make a tax deposit without which the amount actually taken offshore or re-invested would not have been enough to satisfy subsection (1) or (2)(b) (see section 809VK).

(5)“The sum originally invested” means the amount of the money, or the market value of the other property, used to make the investment.

(6)Market value is to be assessed for these purposes as at the date of the relevant event (see section 809VA).

(7)Proceeds are “re-invested” if a relevant person uses them to make another qualifying investment (or the proceeds are themselves a qualifying investment) whether in the same or a different company.

(8)In cases where a breach of the extraction of value rule occurs in connection with the winding-up or dissolution of the target company—

(a)subsection (2)(a) does not apply,

(b)the reference in subsection (2)(b) to the disposal proceeds is to the value received, and

(c)references in this section and in succeeding provisions of the business investment provisions to the disposal proceeds are to be read as references to the value received.

Modifications etc. (not altering text)

809VJThe grace period allowed for the appropriate mitigation stepsU.K.

(1)The grace period allowed for the step mentioned in section 809VI(2)(a) is the period of 90 days beginning—

(a)if the potentially chargeable event is a breach of the extraction of value rule, with the day on which the value is received, and

(b)otherwise, with the day on which a relevant person first became aware or ought reasonably to have become aware of the potentially chargeable event.

(2)The grace period allowed for the step mentioned in section 809VI(1) and (2)(b) is the period of 45 days beginning with the day on which the disposal proceeds first became available for use by or for the benefit of P or any other relevant person.

[F97(2A)But subsection (2B) applies instead of subsections (1) and (2) where the potentially chargeable event is a breach of the 5-year start-up rule by virtue of section 809VH(5)(b).

(2B)The grace period allowed for the steps mentioned in section 809VI(2)(a) and (2)(b) is the period of 2 years beginning with the day on which a relevant person first became aware or ought reasonably to have become aware of the potentially chargeable event referred to in subsection (2A).]

(3)An officer of Revenue and Customs may agree in a particular case to extend the grace period allowed for an appropriate mitigation step in exceptional circumstances.

(4)An officer of Revenue and Customs may agree in a particular case to extend the grace period allowed for an appropriate mitigation step in circumstances specified in regulations made by the Commissioners.

(5)Regulations under subsection (4) may have effect in relation to investments made before the day on which the regulations are made.

(6)Nothing in subsection (4) or in regulations made under it limits the power conferred by subsection (3).

(7)The powers conferred on officers of Revenue and Customs by subsections (3) and (4) include power to agree to extend a grace period for a length of time that is indefinite but is capable of becoming definite by means identified in the agreement (such as the satisfaction of conditions).

809VKRetention of funds to meet CGT liabilitiesU.K.

(1)This section applies if—

(a)there is a disposal of all or part of the holding,

(b)the disposal counts as a potentially chargeable event or is part of the appropriate mitigation steps taken in consequence of a potentially chargeable event,

(c)a chargeable gain (but not a loss) accrues to P on the disposal,

(d)P is chargeable to capital gains tax (but not corporation tax) in respect of that gain, and

(e)the actual disposal proceeds are less than Y.

(2)The difference between the actual disposal proceeds and Y is referred to in this section as “the shortfall”.

(3)“The actual disposal proceeds” means the disposal proceeds but disregarding section 809Z8(4).

(4)“Y” is the sum of—

(a)the amount (if any) that would, but for this section, be required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b), and

(b)the amount found by applying the highest potential CGT rate to the amount (computed in accordance with TCGA 1992) of the chargeable gain accruing to P on the disposal.

[F98(5)The highest potential CGT rate is the highest rate specified in section 1H of TCGA 1992 (regardless of the type of the chargeable gain or, if P is an individual, the rate of income tax at which P's income is chargeable).]

(6)If this section applies, the amount that is required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b) is reduced by the permitted amount.

(7)“The permitted amount” is so much of the shortfall as is used, within the grace period allowed for taking the disposal proceeds offshore or re-investing them, to make a deposit in respect of which a certificate of tax deposit is issued to P under section 12 of the National Loans Act 1968.

(8)A reduction may not be made under subsection (6) unless—

(a)when details of the deposit are confirmed to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the confirmation letter states that this section is intended to apply to the deposit, and

(b)the amount of the deposit is no greater than the shortfall.

809VLEffect of taking appropriate mitigation steps within grace periodU.K.

(1)This section explains the effect for the purposes of this Chapter in cases where section 809VG(2) does not apply because the appropriate mitigation steps were taken within the grace period allowed for each step.

(2)If disposal proceeds were taken offshore as part of those steps, nothing in section 809VA(2) prevents anything subsequently done in relation to those proceeds (or anything deriving from them) from counting as a remittance of the underlying income or gains to the United Kingdom at the time when the thing is subsequently done.

(3)If disposal proceeds were re-invested as part of those steps—

(a)the underlying income or gains continue to be treated under section 809VA(2) as not remitted to the United Kingdom, and

(b)the business investment provisions apply to the re-investment as they apply to the original investment.

(4)In the application of the business investment provisions to the re-investment—

(a)treat the potentially chargeable event mentioned in section 809VG(1)(b) as the relevant event,

(b)treat the underlying income or gains as the income or gains treated under section 809VA(2) as not remitted to the United Kingdom as a result of the re-investment, and

(c)treat the amount used to make the re-investment as the sum originally invested.

(5)If the re-investment is made using more than the minimum amount of disposal proceeds required to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b)—

(a)that investment is to be treated as two separate investments, one made using the minimum amount of disposal proceeds and one made using the excess, and

(b)references in the business investment provisions to “the investment” and “the holding” relate only to the investment made using the minimum amount of disposal proceeds.

(6)“The underlying income or gains” means the affected income or gains (within the meaning of section 809VG) or, if one part of the disposal proceeds is taken offshore and the other part re-invested, a corresponding proportion of the affected income or gains.

(7)A further claim must be made in accordance with section 809VA in respect of the re-investment and, if no such claim is made on or before the first anniversary of the 31 January following the tax year in which the re-investment was made, section 809VG(2) applies, as respects the original investment, as if the appropriate mitigation steps had not been taken within the grace period allowed for each step.

(8)Section 809VM makes further provision in cases involving a tax deposit.

Modifications etc. (not altering text)

809VMCases involving tax depositsU.K.

(1)This section applies in cases where—

(a)section 809VG(2) did not apply because the appropriate mitigation steps were taken within the grace period allowed for each step,

(b)the amount required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b) had been reduced under section 809VK, and

(c)but for that reduction, the amount that was actually taken offshore or re-invested would not have been enough to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b).

(2)The tax deposit that gave rise to the reduction is referred to in this section as “the tax deposit”.

(3)Use of the tax deposit to pay the relevant tax liability does not count as remitting the underlying income or gains to the United Kingdom (and, accordingly, section 809VA(2) continues to apply to the income or gains).

(4)If any of the CTD conditions is breached, the underlying income or gains are to be treated as having been remitted to the United Kingdom immediately after the day on which the breach occurs.

(5)“The underlying income or gains” means such portion of the affected income or gains (within the meaning of section 809VG) as is—

(a)represented by the payment, in the case of subsection (3), or

(b)affected by the breach, in the case of subsection (4).

(6)The CTD conditions are as follows—

(a)the tax deposit must not be used to pay a tax liability other than the relevant tax liability,
