Introductory U.K.

1 (1) This Schedule applies where—

(a) an individual makes a disposal of a debt to which section 252(1) applies (“the relevant disposal”),

(b) the debt (“the section 252 debt”) is not situated in the United Kingdom, and

(c) money or money's worth which is remitted foreign income (“the section 37 amount”) is excluded under section 37 from the consideration for the relevant disposal.

(2) For this purpose “remitted foreign income” means income of the individual which is chargeable to income tax on the alternative basis of charge set out in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (remittance basis).

(3) In determining whether the condition in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is met, the following provisions of this Schedule are to be ignored.

Section 37 operates to exclude the whole consideration U.K.

2 (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes the whole of the unreduced consideration.

(2) If the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt, section 42 applies as if the reference in subsection (2)(a) of that section to the consideration for the disposal were a reference to the unreduced consideration for the disposal.

(3) Any loss accruing to the individual on the relevant disposal is not an allowable loss.

Section 37 operates to exclude part of the consideration U.K.

3 (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes part of the unreduced consideration.

(2) For the purposes of this Act the relevant disposal is to be treated as if it were—

(a) a disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the section 37 proportion of the sum mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (“debt A”), and

(b) a separate disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the remainder of that sum (“debt B”).

(3) That sum is—

(a) if the relevant disposal is a disposal of the whole of the section 252 debt, the sum referred to in section 252(1), and

(b) if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of that debt, the proportion of the sum referred to in section 252(1) to which that part disposal relates.

(4) Sub-paragraphs (5) to (9) apply for the purposes of—

(a) the computation of the gain accruing on the disposals under sub-paragraph (2), and

(b) the application of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of this Act in relation to the part of the debt (if any) which remains undisposed of.

(5) The consideration for the disposal (before any exclusion under section 37) is—

(a) in the case of debt A, the section 37 amount, and

(b) in the case of debt B, the remainder of the unreduced consideration.

(6) If the relevant disposal is not a part disposal of the section 252 debt—

(a) the section 37 proportion of the debt costs and the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A, and

(b) the remaining debt costs and disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B.

(7) Sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) apply if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt.

(8) Section 42(2) applies as if it provided for the debt costs to be apportioned between debt A, debt B and the remainder of the section 252 debt in the proportions which those parts of the section 252 debt bear to one another.

(9) The section 37 proportion of the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A and the remaining disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B.

(10) Any loss accruing to the individual on the disposal of debt A is not an allowable loss.
