643BMeaning of “untaxed benefits total” in section 643A
1
For the purposes of section 643A, whether an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (“the current year”), and (if so) its amount, are determined as follows—
Step 1 If the individual is the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—
- a
when the individual is not relevantly domiciled, and
- b
in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.
If the individual is not the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—
- a
when the individual is a close member of the settlor's family (see section 643H), and
- b
in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.
- a
Step 2 Identify the amount or value of each benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1, and calculate the total of those amounts and values.
Step 3 Take the total calculated at Step 2 and deduct from it the following—
- a
any part of it on which the individual is liable to income tax otherwise than under section 643A,
- b
any income treated by section 643A, 643J or 643L as arising, to a person for a tax year earlier than the current year, by reference to any of the benefits identified in the individual's case at Step 1,
- c
where the whole or part of a benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1 is taken into account in charging income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007, the amount or value of so much of the benefit as is taken into account in doing that, and
- d
any amount required to be deducted by section 643D(2) (gains treated as accruing in a year before the current year).
- a
Step 4 If the result of the calculation at Step 3 is an amount greater than nil, that amount is the individual's untaxed benefits total for the settlement for the current year.

a
the individual is domiciled in the United Kingdom, or
