[F1943ATreatment of cases involving double tax reliefU.K.
(1)This section applies where—
(a)the trustees of an unauthorised unit trust are treated as making deemed payments to unit holders in a tax year (“the current tax year”),
(b)there is a reduction in the income pool in the current tax year, and
(c)the amount of the trustees' double tax relief pool as at the start of the current tax year is greater than zero.
(2)Section 848 (income tax deducted at source treated as income tax paid by recipient) does not apply to the foreign element of the deemed deduction treated as made from any of the deemed payments.
(3)Instead, for the purposes of the Tax Acts—
(a)the foreign element of the deemed deduction is treated as if it were tax payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom with which there are not in force any arrangements under section 2(1) of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief by agreement), and
(b)the foreign element of the deemed income represented by the deemed payment is treated as if it were income that—
(i)arises in a territory of the kind mentioned in paragraph (a), and
(ii)is income by reference to which the tax treated under paragraph (a) as payable was computed.
(4)A reference in this Chapter to a reduction in the income pool in a tax year is to the amount (if any) by which—
(a)the amount of the income pool at the start of the tax year, exceeds
(b)the amount of the income pool at the start of the following tax year.
(5)See—
section 943B for provision about references to the “foreign element” of a deemed deduction or deemed income, and
section 943C for provision about the calculation of the trustees' double tax relief pool as at the beginning of a tax year.]
