Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).

Supplementary

975Statements about deduction of income tax

(1)Subsection (2) applies if a person makes a payment from which a sum representing income tax must be deducted under any provision of Chapters 2 to 7 or under section 919 or 928.

(2)If the recipient requests it in writing, the person must provide the recipient with a statement showing—

(a)the gross amount of the payment,

(b)the amount of the sum deducted, and

(c)the actual amount paid.

(3)Subsection (4) applies if the trustees of an unauthorised unit trust are treated as making a deemed payment to a unit holder (“U”).

(4)If U requests it in writing, the trustees must provide U with a statement showing—

(a)the gross amount of the payment,

(b)the amount of the deemed deduction from the payment, and

(c)the amount of the payment after the deemed deduction.

(5)A statement under this section must be in writing.

(6)The duty to comply with a request under subsection (2) or (4) is enforceable by the recipient or U (as the case may be).

(7)In this section “deemed deduction”, “deemed payment” and “the gross amount” have the same meanings as in Chapter 13 (see section 941(6)).

976Arrangements for payments of interest less tax or at specified net rate

(1)This section applies if—

(a)provision is made for the payment of interest, and

(b)the interest is payable without deduction of a sum representing income tax.

(2)It applies—

(a)whenever the provision was made, and

(b)whether it was made orally or in writing.

(3)If the provision is for the payment of interest “less tax” (or uses words to similar effect) it is to be read as if the words “less tax” (or the equivalent words) were not included.

(4)Subsection (5) applies if the provision is (however worded)—

(a)for the payment of interest to which subsection (6) applies, and

(b)for that interest to be paid at such a rate (“the gross rate”) that the amount of interest payable at that rate is, after deduction of a sum representing income tax, equal to the amount of interest payable at a specified rate (“the net rate”).

(5)In that case the provision is to be read as if it were for the payment of interest at the gross rate.

(6)This subsection applies to—

(a)interest on which the recipient is chargeable to income tax, which falls within Chapter 2 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 but which is not relevant foreign income, or

(b)interest on which the recipient is chargeable to corporation tax under Case III of Schedule D.

977Payments to companies

(1)The provisions of this Part relating to the deduction from payments of sums representing income tax are not affected by the fact that the recipient is a company not chargeable to income tax on the payment.

(2)References in subsection (1) to payments received by a company—

(a)include payments received by another person on behalf of or in trust for the company, but

(b)do not include payments received by the company on behalf of or in trust for another person.

(3)For further provision about payments received by companies, see—

(a)sections 7(2) and 11(3) of ICTA (set-off of income tax deducted at source against liability to corporation tax), and

(b)section 952 (set-off of income tax suffered against income tax payable under Chapter 15).

978Application to public departments

(1)This Part applies in relation to payments made by public offices and departments of the Crown except as mentioned in subsection (2).

(2)This Part does not apply to payments made by public offices and departments of—

(a)any country mentioned in Schedule 3 to the British Nationality Act 1981 (c. 61) (which contains a list of Commonwealth countries) or the Republic of Ireland, or

(b)any state or province of a country within paragraph (a).

979Designated international organisations: exceptions from duties to deduct

(1)The Treasury may by order designate for the purposes of this section any international organisation of which the United Kingdom is a member.

(2)The duty to deduct under section 874 (duty to deduct from certain payments of yearly interest) does not apply to a payment of interest made by—

(a)an organisation designated under subsection (1), or

(b)a partnership of which an organisation so designated is a member.

(3)None of the duties to deduct under Chapters 6, 7 (deduction from annual payments, patent royalties and other payments connected with intellectual property) and 14 (directions for duty to deduct to apply in tax avoidance cases) apply to a payment made by an organisation designated under subsection (1).

(4)The duties to deduct under sections 919(2) and 922(2) do not apply in a case where the payer of the manufactured interest or (as the case may be) the manufactured overseas dividend is an organisation designated under subsection (1).

980Derivative contracts: exception from duties to deduct

(1)Despite the provisions of this Part, a company is not required to deduct a sum representing income tax from a payment made under a derivative contract to which this section applies.

(2)This section applies to a derivative contract if profits and losses arising from it are calculated in accordance with Schedule 26 to FA 2002.

981Foreign currency securities etc: exception from duties to deduct

Despite the provisions of this Part there is no duty to deduct a sum representing income tax from a payment of interest within section 755(1) of ITTOIA 2005 (interest on foreign currency securities etc owned by non-UK residents).

982Income tax is calculated by reference to gross amounts

If any provision of this Part requires the deduction from a payment of a sum representing income tax at a specified rate, the rate is to be applied to the gross payment, that is to the payment before deduction of a sum representing income tax under this Part.
