C5C3C4C6832F2Relevant foreign income charged on remittance basis

1

This section applies to an individual's relevant foreign income for a tax year (“the relevant foreign income”) if section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the individual for that year.

F32

For any tax year for which the individual is UK resident, income tax is charged on the full amount of so much (if any) of the relevant foreign income as is remitted to the United Kingdom—

a

in that year, or

b

in the UK part of that year, if that year is a split year as respects the individual.

3

Subsection (2) applies whether or not the source of the income exists when the income is remitted.

4

See Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 for the meaning of “remitted to the United Kingdom” etc.

832AF5Section 832: temporary non-residents

1

This section applies if an individual is temporarily non-resident.

2

Treat any of the individual's relevant foreign income within subsection (3) that is remitted to the United Kingdom in the temporary period of non-residence as remitted to the United Kingdom in the period of return.

3

Relevant foreign income is within this subsection if—

a

it is relevant foreign income for the UK part of the year of departure or an earlier tax year, and

b

section 832 applies to it.

4

Any apportionment required for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) is to be done on a just and reasonable basis.

5

Nothing in any double taxation relief arrangements is to be read as preventing the individual from being chargeable to income tax in respect of any relevant foreign income treated by virtue of this section as remitted to the United Kingdom in the period of return (or as preventing a charge to that tax from arising as a result).

6

Part 4 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013 (statutory residence test: anti-avoidance) explains—

a

when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-resident”, and

b

what “the temporary period of non-residence” and “the period of return” mean.

7

In this section, “double taxation relief arrangements” means arrangements that have effect under section 2(1) of TIOPA 2010.

832BSection 832: deductions from remitted income

1

The only case in which deductions are allowed from the income mentioned in section 832(2) is where the income is from a trade, profession or vocation carried on outside the United Kingdom.

2

In that case the same deductions are allowed as are allowed under the Income Tax Acts where the trade, profession or vocation is carried on in the United Kingdom.
