[F1222ADetermination of main residence: non-resident CGT disposalsU.K.

(1)This section applies where—

(a)an individual (“P”) makes a disposal of, or of an interest in—

(i)a dwelling-house, or part of a dwelling-house, which was at any time in P's period of ownership occupied by P as a residence, or

(ii)land (as mentioned in section 222(1)(b)) which P had for P's own occupation and enjoyment with that residence as its garden or grounds, and

(b)the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal (see section 14B).

In the remainder of this section the residence concerned is referred to as “the dwelling-house”.

(2)So far as it is necessary for the purposes of section 222, P may determine, by a notice under this section, which of 2 or more residences (of which one is the dwelling-house) was P's main residence for any period within P's period of ownership of the dwelling-house.

(3)A notice under this section may vary, as respects any period within P's period of ownership of the dwelling-house, a notice previously given under section 222(5)(a).

See also subsections (4) and (7).

(4)A notice under this section may not vary a notice previously given under section 222(5)(a) as respects any period for which the previous notice had the effect of determining whether or not a disposed of residence was P's main residence.

(5)In subsection (4) “disposed of residence” means one of P's residences which was disposed of (in whole or in part) before the date of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a).

(6)A notice under this section—

(a)must be given in the NRCGT return in respect of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), and

(b)may not subsequently be varied, whether by a notice under this section or section 222(5)(a).

(7)Where a notice under this section affects both P and an individual (“X”) who was, in the period to which the notice relates (“the relevant period”), P's spouse or civil partner living with P—

(a)in a case where each of P and X is required to make an NRCGT return in respect of the disposal of an interest in the dwelling-house, notice given by P under this section is effective as respects any part of the relevant period when P and X were living together as spouses or civil partners only if notice to the same effect is also given under this section by X in respect of that period;

(b)in any other case, notice given by P under this section is effective as respects any part of the relevant period when P and X were living together as spouses or civil partners only if it is accompanied by written notification from X agreeing to the terms of the notice in respect of that period.

(8)Nothing in subsection (2) affects the application of section 222(5) in relation to P.]
