CHAPTER 4 Trading Income

F1Trading Income: in-year finalisation6B

1

Where regulation 6A applies, a claimant’s trading income for the purposes of the first paragraph in Step 4 in regulation 3(1) is the claimant’s actual or estimated taxable profits attributable to the part tax year (“the relevant trading income”).

2

The relevant trading income is to be calculated by reference to the basis period ending during the relevant tax year.

3

The basis period is to be determined by reference to the rules in Chapter 15 of Part 2 of ITTOIA.

4

The relevant trading income is calculated by—

a

taking the figure for the actual or estimated taxable income earned in the basis period;

b

dividing that figure by the number of days in the basis period to give the daily figure; and

c

multiplying the daily figure by the number of days in the part tax year on which the trade, profession or vocation was carried on.
