Income Tax Act 2007

Charge where benefit received U.K.

731 Charge to tax on income treated as arising under section 732 U.K.

(1) Income tax is charged on income treated as arising to an individual under section 732 ([F1 individuals] receiving a benefit as a result of relevant transactions).

[F2 (1A) But where the individual is non-UK resident for the tax year in which a benefit is received, there is a charge to tax under this section on any matched deemed income—

(a) only so far as that matched deemed income would under section 735A (if it applied also for this purpose) be matched with an amount of relevant income that is protected income for the purposes of section 733A(1)(b)(i) (see sections 721(3BA) and 728(1B)), and

(b) only if—

(i) the individual is the settlor of the settlement concerned, or

(ii) the benefit is received by the individual at a time when the individual is a close member of the family of the settlor of that settlement.

(1B) For the purposes of subsection (1A)—

(a) “matched deemed income” means income which—

(i) is treated by section 732 as arising to the individual, and

(ii) would, if section 735A applied also for this purpose, be matched under that section with the benefit, and

(b) a person is a close member of the family of the settlor of a settlement if the person is—

(i) the settlor's spouse or civil partner, or

(ii) a child of the settlor, or of a person within sub-paragraph (i), if the child has not reached the age of 18;

and section 733A(7) (persons living together) applies also for the purposes of paragraph (b).]

[F3 (1C) Subsection (1A) does not restrict the charge to tax under this section on income treated as arising to the individual by section 733C or 733E (onward gifts: recipient or settlor treated as individual to whom income is treated as arising).]

(2) Tax is charged under this section on the amount of income treated as arising for the tax year.

[F4 (2A) But see [F5 sections 735, 735B and 735C] (non-UK domiciled individuals to whom remittance basis applies).]

(3) The person liable for any tax charged under this section is the individual to whom the income is treated as arising[F6 , but this is subject to section 733A.]

(4) For exemptions from the charge under this section, see sections 736 to [F7 742A] (exemptions where no tax avoidance purpose or genuine commercial transaction [F8 , etc]).

733 Income charged under section 731 U.K.

(1) To find the amount (if any) of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year in respect of benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) take the following steps.

Step 1

Identify the amount or value of such benefits received by the individual in the tax year and in any earlier tax years in which section 732 has applied.

The sum of those amounts and values is “the total benefits”.

Step 2

Deduct from the total benefits the total amount of income treated as arising to the individual under section 732(2) for earlier tax years as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations.

The result is “the total untaxed benefits” [F15 except that, where any of that income is matched deemed income for the purposes of section 731(1A), that matched deemed income is to be deducted only so far as it is matched deemed income on which tax has been charged under section 731 for an earlier tax year.]

Step 3

Identify the amount of any income which—

(a) arises in the tax year to a person abroad, and

(b) as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations can be used directly or indirectly for providing a benefit for the individual.

That amount is “the relevant income of the tax year” in relation to the individual and the tax year.

Step 4

Add together the relevant income of the tax year and the relevant income of earlier tax years in relation to the individual (identified as mentioned in Step 3).

The sum of those amounts is “total relevant income”.

Step 5

Deduct from total relevant income—

(a) the amount deducted at Step 2, and

(b) any other amount which may not be taken into account because of section 743(1) and (2) (no duplication of charges).

The result is “the available relevant income”.

Step 6

Compare the total untaxed benefits and the available relevant income.

The amount of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year is the total untaxed benefits unless the available relevant income is lower.

If the available relevant income is lower, it is the amount of income treated as so arising.

(2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 734 (reduction in amount charged: previous capital gains tax charge).

(3) See also section 740(5) to (7) (which makes provision about relevant income and benefits where relevant transactions include both transactions before 5 December 2005 and transactions after 4 December 2005 and exemptions under this Chapter cease to apply).

(3) If—

(a) section 809B, 809D or 809E (remittance basis) applies to the individual for the year, and

(6) For the purpose of recovering that amount, the settlor is entitled to require an officer of Revenue and Customs to give the settlor a certificate specifying—

(a) the amount of the income concerned, and

(b) the amount of tax paid,

and any such certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.

(a) the person is the settlor's spouse or civil partner at that time, or

(b) the person—

(i) is a child of the settlor, or of a person who at that time is the settlor's spouse or civil partner, and

(ii) at that time has not reached the age of 18.]

[F18 (8) For the purposes of subsection (7), two people living together as if they were a married couple or civil partners are treated as if they were spouses or civil partners of each other.]

(9) Sections 809L to 809Z6 (remittance basis: rules about when income is remitted, including rule treating pre-arising remittances of deemed income as made when the income arises) apply for the purposes of this section.]

(i) the benefits, and

(ii) the relevant income,

by matching that income with the benefits and the relevant income (in the orders mentioned in paragraphs (a), (c) and (e)).
