Section 341: Meaning of “mineral lease or agreement” and “mineral royalties”
1393.This section defines various terms used in section 340. It is based on section 122(5) and (6) of ICTA.
1394.Section 364 includes a definition of “lease” that applies for the purposes of the property income Part. It is based on section 24 of ICTA, which applies for the purposes of Schedule A in the source legislation. Because the definition applies only for Schedule A in strictness it does not extend to the income taxed under section 340. But the definition of “mineral lease or agreement” in section 122(6) of ICTA applies to any agreement to win and work minerals in the United Kingdom. Such an agreement would also satisfy the definition in section 24 of ICTA so there is no change in the law.
