[F2 87 Non-UK resident settlements: attribution of gains to beneficiaries U.K.

(1) This section applies to a settlement for a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) if [F3 there is no time in that year when the trustees are resident in the United Kingdom].

(2) Chargeable gains are treated as accruing in the relevant tax year to a beneficiary of the settlement who has received a capital payment from the trustees in the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year if all or part of the capital payment is matched (under section 87A as it applies for the relevant tax year) with the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year.

(3) The amount of chargeable gains treated as accruing is equal to—

(a) the amount of the capital payment, or

(b) if only part of the capital payment is matched, the amount of that part.

(4) The section 2(2) amount for a settlement for a tax year for which this section applies to the settlement is—

(a) the amount upon which the trustees of the settlement would be chargeable to tax under section 2(2) for that year if they were resident F4 ... in the United Kingdom in that year, or

(b) such a disposal is otherwise to be disregarded.]

(6) For the purposes of this section a settlement arising under a will or intestacy is treated as made by the testator or intestate at the time of death.

[F6 (7) If the relevant tax year is a split year as respects a beneficiary of the settlement—

(a) the amount on which the beneficiary is chargeable to capital gains tax by virtue of this section for that year (in respect of the settlement) is a portion of the amount on which the beneficiary would have been so chargeable if the relevant tax year had not been a split year, and

(b) the portion is the portion attributable to the UK part of the relevant tax year calculated on a time apportionment basis.]]
