Overview
2645.This Part groups all of the sections which provide exemption for income otherwise charged to income tax by this Act. A signpost in each charging section points the user to the main exemptions from that particular charge contained in this Part.

2647.The exemptions, where relevant, apply to both United Kingdom and foreign income unless one of these kinds of income is expressly excluded in the section.
2648.The wording of the exemption sections follows the “no liability approach” adopted in ITEPA.
