F8S. 809H(5A) inserted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 27 para. 15(1) of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2009 (c. 10), Sch. 27 para. 5
(1)This section applies if—
(a)any of an individual's nominated income and gains is remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year, and
(b)any of the individual's remittance basis income and gains has not been remitted to the United Kingdom in or before that year.
(2)Income tax and capital gains tax are charged, for that year and subsequent tax years, as if the income and chargeable gains treated under section 809J as remitted to the United Kingdom by the individual in that tax year had been so remitted (and income and chargeable gains of the individual that were actually remitted in that year had not been).
(3)An individual's “nominated income and gains” are the total income and chargeable gains nominated by the individual under section 809C for the tax year mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or any earlier tax year.
(4)An individual's “remittance basis income and gains” are the foreign income and gains of the individual for all the tax years (up to and including the tax year mentioned in subsection (1)(a)) for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual, apart from the individual's nominated income and gains.
(1)If section 809I applies, the following steps are to be taken for the purpose of determining the income or gains treated in a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) as remitted to the United Kingdom by the individual.
Step 1
Find the total amount of—
(a)the individual's nominated income and gains, and
(b)the individual's remittance basis income and gains,
that have been remitted to the United Kingdom in the relevant tax year.
This amount is “the relevant amount”.
Step 2
Find the amount of foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year (other than income or chargeable gains nominated under section 809C) that is within each of the categories of income and gains in paragraphs (a) to (h) of subsection (2).
If none of sections 809B, 809D and 809E apply to the individual for that year, treat those amounts as nil (and accordingly go to step 6).
Step 3
Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil.
If that amount does not exceed the relevant amount, treat the individual as having remitted the income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
Otherwise, treat the individual as having remitted the relevant proportion of each kind of income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
“The relevant proportion” is the relevant amount divided by the amount determined under step 2 for that paragraph.
Step 4
Reduce the relevant amount by the amount taken into account under step 3.
Step 5
If the relevant amount (as reduced under step 4) is not nil, start again at step 3.
In step 3, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step.
Step 6
If the relevant amount (as reduced) is not nil once steps 3 to 5 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (2) for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil, start again at step 2.
In step 2, read the reference to the foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year as a reference to such of the foreign income and gains of the individual for the appropriate tax year as had not been remitted by the beginning of the relevant tax year.
“The appropriate tax year” is the latest tax year which is—
(a)before the last tax year for which step 2 has been undertaken, and
(b)a tax year for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual.
(2)The kinds of income and gains are—
(a)relevant foreign earnings (other than those subject to a foreign tax),
(b)foreign specific employment income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),
(c)relevant foreign income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),
(d)foreign chargeable gains (other than gains subject to a foreign tax),
(e)relevant foreign earnings subject to a foreign tax,
(f)foreign specific employment income subject to a foreign tax,
(g)relevant foreign income subject to a foreign tax, and
(h)foreign chargeable gains subject to a foreign tax.
(3)In this section the individual's “nominated income and gains” are the total income and chargeable gains nominated by the individual under section 809C for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year.
(4)In step 1 of subsection (1) the individual's “remittance basis income and gains” are the foreign income and gains of the individual for all the tax years (up to and including the relevant tax year) for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual, apart from the individual's nominated income and gains.
(5)In step 6 of subsection (1) the reference to income or gains being remitted is—
(a)as respects any tax year before section 809I applies, to income or gains being remitted to the United Kingdom, and
(b)as respects any tax year in relation to which that section applies, to income or gains treated under this section as so remitted.
(6)In subsection (2) “foreign tax” means any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
(1)Sections 809L to 809Z6 apply for the purposes of—
(a)this Chapter,
(b)sections 22 and 26 of ITEPA 2003 (relevant foreign earnings charged on remittance basis),
(c)section 41A of that Act (specific employment income from securities etc charged on remittance basis),
(d)section 832 of ITTOIA 2005 (relevant foreign income charged on remittance basis), and
(e)section 12 of TCGA 1992 (foreign chargeable gains charged on remittance basis).
(2)Those sections—
(a)explain what is meant by income or chargeable gains being “remitted to the United Kingdom” (sections 809L to 809O),
(b)provide for the calculation of the amount remitted (section 809P),
(c)contain rules for attributing transfers from mixed funds to particular kinds of income and capital (sections 809Q to 809S),

(3)The question of whether or not a person is a relevant person is to be determined by reference to the time when a gift is made.
(4)But, if a person to whom a gift is made subsequently becomes a relevant person, the person ceases to be a gift recipient.
(5)The individual “makes a gift of” property if the individual disposes of the property—
(a)for no consideration, or
(b)for consideration less than the full consideration in money or money's worth that would be given if the disposal were by way of a bargain made at arm's length;
but, in a case falling in paragraph (b), the individual is to be taken to make a gift of only so much of the property as exceeds the consideration actually given.
(6)A reference to the individual making a gift of property includes a case where—
(a)the individual retains an interest in the property, or
(b)an interest, right or arrangement enables or entitles the individual to benefit from the property.

(a)if the property or service is enjoyed virtually to the entire exclusion of all relevant persons,
(b)if full consideration in money or money's worth is given by a relevant person for the enjoyment, or
(c)if the property or service is enjoyed by relevant persons in the same way, and on the same terms, as it may be enjoyed by the general public or by a section of the general public.
(1)This section applies for the purposes of determining whether or not income or chargeable gains of an individual are remitted to the United Kingdom by virtue of condition D in section 809L.
(2)For the purposes of section 809L(5), the question of whether or not the person whose property is dealt with as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 809L(5) is a relevant person is to be determined by reference to the time when the property is so dealt with.

(5)But a disposition of property is not a qualifying disposition if the disposition is, or is part of, the giving of full consideration in money or money's worth for the dealing that falls within section 809L(5)(a), (b) or (c).
(6)Enjoyment by a relevant person of property or a service is to be disregarded in any of these cases—

F18S. 809P(13) inserted (retrospective to 22.4.2009) by Finance Act 2009 (c. 10), Sch. 27 paras. 8, 15(2)
(1)This section applies for the purposes mentioned in subsection (2) where condition A in section 809L is met and—
(a)the property or consideration for the service is (wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from, a transfer from a mixed fund, or
(b)a transfer from a mixed fund, or anything deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from such a transfer, is used as mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).
(2)The purposes referred to in subsection (1) are—
(a)determining whether condition B in section 809L is met, and
(b)if it is met, determining (under section 809P) the amount of income or chargeable gains remitted.
(3)The extent to which the transfer is of the individual's income or chargeable gains is to be determined as follows.
Step 1
For each of the categories of income and capital in paragraphs (a) to (i) of subsection (4), find (applying section 809R) the amount of income or capital of the individual for the relevant tax year in the mixed fund immediately before the transfer.
“The relevant tax year” is the tax year in which the transfer occurs.
Step 2
Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil.
If that amount does not exceed the amount of the transfer, treat the transfer as containing the income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
Otherwise, treat the transfer as containing the relevant proportion of each kind of income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
“The relevant proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by the amount determined under step 1 for that paragraph.
Step 3
Treat the amount of the transfer as reduced by the amount taken into account under step 2.
Step 4
If the amount of the transfer (as reduced under step 3) is not nil, start again at step 2.
In step 2, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step in relation to the transfer.
Step 5
If the amount of the transfer (as reduced under step 3) is not nil once steps 2 and 3 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (4) for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil, start again at step 1.
In step 1, read the reference to the relevant tax year as a reference to the tax year immediately before the last tax year for which step 1 has been undertaken in relation to the transfer.
(4)The kinds of income and capital are—
(a)employment income (other than income within paragraph (b), (c) or (f)),
(b)relevant foreign earnings (other than income within paragraph (f)),
(c)foreign specific employment income (other than income within paragraph (f)),
(d)relevant foreign income (other than income within paragraph (g)),
(e)foreign chargeable gains (other than chargeable gains within paragraph (h)),
(f)employment income subject to a foreign tax,
(g)relevant foreign income subject to a foreign tax,
(h)foreign chargeable gains subject to a foreign tax, and
(i)income or capital not within another paragraph of this subsection.
(5)In subsection (4) “foreign tax” means any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
(6)In this section “mixed fund” means money or other property which, immediately before the transfer, contains or derives from—
(a)more than one of the kinds of income and capital mentioned in subsection (4), or
(b)income or capital for more than one tax year.
(7)References in this section to the amount of the transfer include the market value of it.
(8)References in this section and section 809R to anything deriving from income or capital within paragraph (i) of subsection (4) do not include—
(a)income or gains within any of paragraphs (a) to (h) of that subsection, or
(b)anything deriving from such income or gains.
(1)This section applies for the purposes of step 1 of section 809Q(3) (composition of mixed fund).
(2)Treat property which derives wholly or in part (and directly or indirectly) from an individual's income or capital for a tax year as consisting of or containing that income or capital.
(3)If a debt relating (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) to property is at any time satisfied (wholly or in part) by—
(a)an individual's income or capital for a tax year, or
(b)anything deriving (directly or indirectly) from such income or capital,
from that time treat the property as consisting of or containing the income or capital if and to the extent that it is just and reasonable to do so.
(4)Treat an offshore transfer from a mixed fund as containing the appropriate proportion of each kind of income or capital in the fund immediately before the transfer.
“The appropriate proportion” means the amount (or market value) of the transfer divided by the market value of the mixed fund immediately before the transfer.
(5)A transfer from a mixed fund is an “offshore transfer” for the purposes of subsection (4) if and to the extent that section 809Q does not apply in relation to it.
(6)Treat a transfer from a mixed fund as an “offshore transfer” (and section 809Q as not applying in relation to it, if it otherwise would do) if and to the extent that, at the end of a tax year in which it is made—
(a)section 809Q does not apply in relation to it, and
(b)on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made at that time, section 809Q will not apply in relation to it.
(7)In this section ‘mixed fund’ means money or other property containing or deriving from—
(a)more than one of the kinds of income and capital mentioned in section 809Q(4), or
(b)income or capital for more than one tax year.
(8)If section 809Q applies in relation to part of a transfer, apply that section in relation to that part before applying subsection (4) in relation to the rest of the transfer.
(9)If section 809Q applies in relation to more than one transfer from a mixed fund, when undertaking step 1 in relation to the second or any subsequent transfer take into account the effect of step 2 of section 809Q(3) (composition of transfer) as it applied in relation to each earlier transfer.
(1)This section applies if, by reason of an arrangement the main purpose (or one of the main purposes) of which is to secure an income tax advantage or capital gains tax advantage, a mixed fund would otherwise be regarded as containing income or capital within any of paragraphs (f) to (i) of section 809Q(4).
(2)Treat the mixed fund as containing so much (if any) of the income or capital as is just and reasonable.
(3)“Arrangement” includes any scheme, understanding, transaction or series or transactions (whether or not enforceable).
(4)“Income tax advantage” has the meaning given by section 683.
(5)“Capital gains tax advantage” means—
(a)a relief from capital gains tax or increased relief from capital gains tax,
(b)a repayment of capital gains tax or increased repayment of capital gains tax,
(c)the avoidance or reduction of a charge to capital gains tax or an assessment to capital gains tax, or
(d)the avoidance of a possible assessment to capital gains tax.
(1)This section applies if—
(a)foreign chargeable gains accrue to an individual on the disposal of an asset, and
(b)the individual does not receive consideration for the disposal of an amount [F20at least] equal to the market value of the asset.
(2)For the purposes of this Chapter treat the asset as deriving from the chargeable gains.
