840Relief for backdated pensions charged on the arising basisU.K.
(1)This section applies if—
(a)as a result of section 575(3), 613(4) or 635(4) of ITEPA 2003 a pension or annuity or an increase in a pension or annuity is treated as relevant foreign income,
(b)the pension, annuity or increase is paid in respect of a tax year (“the earlier year”) before the tax year in which the pension, annuity or increase arose, and
(c)the income is not charged in accordance with section 832 (relevant foreign income charged on the remittance basis).
(2)If the person liable for the income tax makes a claim for relief under this section for the tax year in which the pension, annuity or increase paid in respect of the earlier year arises, that pension, annuity or increase is treated as income arising in the earlier year from a source that the person possessed in the earlier year.
(3)But subsection (2) does not affect the calculation of the full amount of the income so arising under section 575(2), 613(3) or 635(3) of ITEPA 2003 (under which the full amount of that income is to be calculated on the basis that the pension or annuity is 90% of its actual amount).
