Income Tax Act 2007

[F1 809H Claim for remittance basis by long-term UK resident: charge U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(b) the individual is aged 18 or over in the relevant tax year, and

[F2 (c) the individual meets F3 ... the 12-year residence test or the 7-year residence test for the relevant tax year.]

[F4 (1A) See section [F5 809CF6 ..., (1A)] and (1B) for when an individual meets F7 ... the 12-year residence test or the 7-year residence test for a tax year.]

(2) Income tax is charged on nominated income, and capital gains tax is charged on nominated chargeable gains, as if section 809B did not apply to the individual for the relevant tax year (and neither did section 809D).

(3) “Nominated” income or chargeable gains means income or chargeable gains nominated under section 809C in the individual's claim under section 809B for the relevant tax year.

[F8 (3A) If the individual is a Scottish taxpayer for the relevant tax year, the individual is to be treated for the purpose of calculating income tax charged by virtue of subsection (2) as if the individual were not a Scottish taxpayer for that year.]

[F9 (3B) If the individual is a Welsh taxpayer for the relevant tax year, the individual is to be treated for the purpose of calculating income tax charged by virtue of subsection (2) as if the individual were not a Welsh taxpayer for that year.]

(4) If the relevant tax increase would otherwise be less than [F10 the applicable amount], subsection (2) has effect as if—

(a) in addition to the income and gains actually nominated under section 809C in the individual's claim under section 809B for the relevant tax year, an amount of income had been nominated so as to make the relevant tax increase equal to [F10 the applicable amount], and

(b) the individual's income for that year were such that such a nomination could have been made (if that is not the case).

(5) “The relevant tax increase” is—

(a) the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax payable by the individual for the relevant tax year, minus

(b) the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax that would be payable by the individual for the relevant tax year apart from subsection (2).

[F11 (5A) The references to income tax in subsection (5) do not include income tax under section 424 (gift aid).]

[F12 (5B) The applicable amount” is—

F13 (za) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(a) if the individual meets the 12-year residence test for the relevant tax year, [F14 £60,000];

(b) if the individual meets the 7-year residence test for the relevant tax year, £30,000.]

(6) Nothing in subsection (4) affects what is regarded, for the purposes of section 809I or 809J, as nominated under section 809C.]
