Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

Section 770: Amounts applied by SIP trustees acquiring dividend shares or retained for reinvestment

2894.The commentary on the SIPs legislation in Chapter 3 of Part 4 of this Act explains the background to approved share incentive plans. This section is based on sections 493(1) and 496(1) of ITEPA. Without these exemptions a tax liability would arise under Chapter 3 of Part 4 of this Act (in respect of cash dividends paid by UK resident companies) or under Chapter 4 of Part 4 of this Act (in respect of cash dividends paid by non-UK resident companies). As the tax liability arises under this Act, the exemptions are rewritten in Part 6 of this Act rather than retained in ITEPA. Signposting provisions to this exemption are in sections 493 and 496 of ITEPA.

2895.The references to tax credits in subsection (2) of sections 493 and 496 of ITEPA are not rewritten in this section. The rewrite of section 231 of ICTA in this Act (see section 397) makes it unnecessary.
