643A Deemed income because of benefits for settlor or close family member

(1) If an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (see section 643B), an amount equal to so much of that total as does not exceed the settlement's available protected income up to the end of the year (see section 643C) is—

(a) where the individual is UK resident for the year, treated for income tax purposes as income of the individual for the year, subject to subsections (2) to (5), and

(b) where the individual is non-UK resident for the year, treated for the purposes of subsection (2) and sections 643I to 643L (but no other purpose) as income of the individual for the year, subject to subsection (5).

(2) Subsections (3) and (4) apply if—

(a) an amount (“the deemed income”) is treated by subsection (1), before the application of subsections (3) and (4), as income of an individual for a tax year,

(b) the individual is not the settlor,

(c) either—

(i) the individual is non-UK resident for the year, or

(e) there is no time in the year when the settlor is domiciled in the United Kingdom, and

(f) there is no time in the year when the settlor is regarded for the purposes of section 809B(1)(b) of ITA 2007 as domiciled in the United Kingdom as a result of section 835BA of ITA 2007 having effect because of Condition A in that section being met.

(3) If the case is one—

(a) where the condition in subsection (2)(c)(i) is met, or

(b) where the condition in subsection (2)(c)(ii) is met and none of the deemed income is remitted to the United Kingdom in the year,

the deemed income is to be treated for income tax purposes as income of the settlor for the year and, in a case within paragraph (b), not as income of the individual for the year.

(4) If the case is one—

(a) where the condition in subsection (2)(c)(ii) is met, and

(b) part only of the deemed income is remitted to the United Kingdom in the year,

the remainder of the deemed income is to be treated for income tax purposes not as income of the individual for the year but as income of the settlor for the year.

643B Meaning of “untaxed benefits total” in section 643A

(1) For the purposes of section 643A, whether an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (“the current year”), and (if so) its amount, are determined as follows—

• Step 1 If the individual is the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—

  (a)

  when the individual is not relevantly domiciled, and

  (b)

  in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

  If the individual is not the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—

  (a)

  when the individual is a close member of the settlor's family (see section 643H), and

  (b)

  in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

• Step 2 Identify the amount or value of each benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1, and calculate the total of those amounts and values.

• Step 3 Take the total calculated at Step 2 and deduct from it the following—

  (a)

  any part of it on which the individual is liable to income tax otherwise than under section 643A,

  (b)

  any income treated by section 643A, 643J or 643L as arising, to a person for a tax year earlier than the current year, by reference to any of the benefits identified in the individual's case at Step 1,

  (c)

  where the whole or part of a benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1 is taken into account in charging income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007, the amount or value of so much of the benefit as is taken into account in doing that, and

  (d)

  any amount required to be deducted by section 643D(2) (gains treated as accruing in a year before the current year).

• Step 4 If the result of the calculation at Step 3 is an amount greater than nil, that amount is the individual's untaxed benefits total for the settlement for the current year.

(2) For the purposes of Step 1 in subsection (1), an individual is “relevantly domiciled” at any time if at that time—

(a) the individual is domiciled in the United Kingdom, or

(b) the individual is regarded for the purposes of section 809(1)(b) of ITA 2007 as domiciled in the United Kingdom as a result of section 835BA of ITA 2007 having effect because of Condition A in that section being met.

(3) Sections 742C to 742E of ITA 2007 (value of certain benefits) apply for the purpose of calculating the value of a benefit for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purpose of calculating an income tax charge under Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007.

(4) In this section and sections 643C to 643M, a reference to a benefit provided by trustees of a settlement is to—

(a) a benefit treated by subsection (6) as provided by the trustees, or

(b) any other benefit if it is provided by the trustees directly, or indirectly, out of—

(i) property comprised in the settlement, or

(ii) income arising under the settlement.

(i) property comprised in the settlement, or

(ii) income arising under the settlement.

(6) Where—

(a) income arises under a settlement, and

(b) the income, before being distributed, is the income of a person other than the trustees,

a benefit is for the purposes of subsection (4)(a) treated as provided by the trustees and is for the purposes of subsection (5)(a) treated as provided by the trustees to the person.

(7) A benefit treated as provided by subsection (6) is treated—

(a) as consisting of the income mentioned in that subsection, but after any reduction in accordance with Chapter 8 of Part 9 of ITA 2007 for trustees' expenses, and

(b) as provided at the time that income arises.

(d) there is a time in the charging year when the settlor is UK resident,

(e) there is no time in the charging year when the settlor is domiciled in the United Kingdom, and

(f) there is no time in the charging year when the settlor is regarded for the purposes of section 809B(1)(b) of ITA 2007 as domiciled in the United Kingdom as a result of section 835BA of ITA 2007 having effect because of Condition A in that section being met.

(3) For income tax purposes, an amount of income—

(a) equal to the amount or value of so much of the onward payment as is within any of sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of section 643I(1)(e), or

(b) where this subsection applies because of subsection (1) in a case where part only of that much of the onward payment is remitted to the United Kingdom in the charging year, equal to the amount or value of the remainder of that much of the onward payment,

is treated as arising to the settlor for the charging year, subject to subsection (4).

(4) The amount given by subsection (3) (before adjustment under this subsection) is to be adjusted as follows—

(a) deduct any part of the amount on which the settlor is liable to income tax otherwise than under this section, and

(b) if following any adjustment under paragraph (a) the amount exceeds the amount mentioned in section 643I(1)(a), deduct the excess.

(5) Where any tax for which the settlor is liable as a result of subsections (3) and (4) is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the amount of the tax from the subsequent recipient.

(6) For the purpose of recovering that amount, the settlor is entitled to require an officer of Revenue and Customs to give the settlor a certificate specifying—

(a) the amount of the income concerned, and

(b) the amount of tax paid,

and any such certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.

643M Onward gift to settlor or close family member by other recipient

(1) Subsection (3) applies if—

(a) the trustees of a settlement provide a benefit (“the original benefit”) to an individual (“the original recipient”),

(b) the original recipient is not the settlor,

(c) at the time the original benefit is provided, the original recipient is not a close member of the settlor's family (see section 643H),

(d) the original recipient is not taxed on the original benefit (see subsection (7)),

(e) at the time the original benefit is provided—

(i) there are arrangements, or there is an intention, as regards the (direct or indirect) passing-on of the whole, or part, of the original benefit to another person, and

(ii) it is reasonable to expect that, in the event of the whole or part of the original benefit being passed on to another person as envisaged by the arrangements or intention, that other person will be UK resident when they receive at least part of what is passed on to them,

(f) the original recipient makes, directly or indirectly, a gift (“the onward payment”) to a person (“the subsequent recipient”)—

(i) at the time the original benefit is provided to the original recipient, or at any later time in the 3 years beginning with the day containing that time, or

(ii) at any time before the original benefit is provided to the original recipient and, it is reasonable to assume, in anticipation of the original benefit being provided,

(g) the gift is of or includes—

(i) the whole or part of the original benefit,

(ii) anything that (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) derives from, or represents, the whole or part of the original benefit, or

(iii) any other property, but only if the original benefit is provided with a view to enabling or facilitating, or otherwise in connection with, the making of the gift of the property to the subsequent recipient, and

(h) the subsequent recipient—

(i) is the settlor, or

(ii) is a close member of the settlor's family at the time the onward payment is made or, where that time is given by subsection (4), at either or both of the time so given and the actual time the onward payment is made.

(2) Where—

(a) there is a series of two or more gifts,

(b) the first gift in the series is made, directly or indirectly, by the original recipient—

(i) at the time the original benefit is provided, or at any later time in the 3 years beginning with the day containing that time, or

(ii) at any time before the original benefit is provided and, it is reasonable to assume, in anticipation of the original benefit being provided,

(c) the recipient of a gift in the series is the person who makes, directly or indirectly, the next gift in the series,

(d) the recipient of the last gift in the series is the settlor or, at the time that last gift is made, is a close member of the settlor's family,

(e) as regards any earlier gift in the series, its recipient—

(i) is not the settlor, and

(ii) is not, at the time that earlier gift is made, a close member of the settlor's family, and

(f) the condition in subsection (1)(g) is met in relation to each gift in the series,

the last gift in the series is to be treated for the purposes of subsection (1)(f) as if its maker were the original recipient (and not its actual maker).

(3) So much of the onward payment as is within any of sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of subsection (1)(g) is treated for the purposes of Step 1 in section 643B(1) as a benefit provided by the trustees to the subsequent recipient at the time the onward payment is made.

(4) Where the onward payment is made as mentioned in subsection (1)(f)(ii), the onward payment is to be treated, for the purposes of subsections (1)(h) and (3), as made immediately after, and in the tax year in which, the original benefit is provided to the original recipient.

(5) Where subsection (1)(f) to (h) are met in any case, it is to be presumed (unless the contrary is shown) that subsection (1)(e) is also met in that case.

(6) Where the benefit mentioned in section 643I(1)(b) is one that subsection (3) of this section treats as provided, section 643I(1) has effect with the omission of its paragraph (c).

(7) For the purposes of subsection (1)(d), the original recipient is taxed on the original benefit if the original recipient is liable to income tax, or capital gains tax, by reference to the amount or value of the original benefit; and where the original recipient is so liable by reference to the amount or value of part only of the original benefit, this section applies as if the two parts of the original benefit were separate benefits.

(8) In this section—

• “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable),

• “gift” includes any benefit, and

• “make”, in relation to a gift that is a benefit, means confer,

and see also section 643B(4) to (7) (interpretation of references to provision of benefits by trustees).
