Remittance of income and gains: meaning of “remitted to the United Kingdom”

809NSection 809L: gift recipients, qualifying property and enjoyment

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 C in section 809L.

2

A “gift recipient” means a person, other than a relevant person, to whom the individual makes a gift of money or other property that—

a

is income or chargeable gains of the individual, or

b

derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from income or chargeable gains of the individual.

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.

7

Qualifying property”, in relation to a gift recipient, is—

a

the property that the individual gave to the gift recipient,

b

anything that derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from that property, or

c

any other property, but only if it is dealt with as mentioned in section 809L(4)(a), (b) or (c) by virtue of an operation which is effected—

i

with reference to the gift of the property to the gift recipient, or

ii

with a view to enabling or facilitating the gift of the property to the gift recipient to be made.

8

In subsection (7)—

a

the reference in paragraph (b) to anything deriving from property, and

b

the reference in paragraph (c) to other property,

includes a thing, or property, that does not belong to the individual but which the individual is enabled or entitled to benefit from by virtue of any interest, right or arrangement.

9

Enjoyment by a relevant person of property or a service is to be disregarded in any of these cases—

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.
