Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
(1)For the purposes of the Income Tax Acts (except where the context otherwise requires), the trustees of a settlement are together treated as if they were a single person (distinct from the persons who are the trustees of the settlement from time to time).
(2)If different parts of the settled property in relation to a settlement are vested in different bodies of trustees, subsection (1) and sections 475 and 476 apply in relation to the different bodies as if they were all one body.
(3)The cases covered by subsection (2) include cases where settled land (within the meaning of the Settled Land Act 1925 (c. 18)) is vested in the tenant for life and investments representing capital money are vested in the trustees of the settlement.
[F1(1)This section applies for income tax purposes and explains how to work out, in relation to the trustees of a settlement, whether or not the single person mentioned in section 474(1) is UK resident.]
(2)If at a time either condition A or condition B is met, then at that time the single person is [F2UK resident].
(3)If at a time neither condition A nor condition B is met, then at that time the single person is [F3non-UK resident].
(4)Condition A is met at a time if, at that time, all the persons who are trustees of the settlement are UK resident.
(5)Condition B is met at a time if at that time—
(a)at least one person who is a trustee of the settlement is UK resident and at least one such person is non-UK resident, and
(b)a settlor in relation to the settlement meets condition C (see section 476).
(6)If at a time a person (“T”) who is a trustee of the settlement acts as trustee in the course of a business which T carries on in the United Kingdom through a branch, agency or permanent establishment there, then for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) assume that T is UK resident at that time.
[F4(7)Subsection (8) applies if—
(a)an individual becomes or ceases to be a trustee of the settlement during a tax year,
(b)that year is a split year as respects the individual, and
(c)the only period in that year when the individual is a trustee of the settlement falls wholly within the overseas part of the year.
(8)The individual is to be treated for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) as if he or she had been non-UK resident for the year (and hence for the period in that year when he or she was a trustee of the settlement).
(9)But subsection (8) is subject to subsection (6) and, accordingly, an individual who is treated under subsection (8) as having been non-UK resident is, in spite of that, to be treated as UK resident whenever the individual acts as mentioned in subsection (6).]
