“1179ECSpecial credit for visual effects

(1)This section applies in relation to a qualifying film or qualifying television programme.

(2)The production company is entitled to claim an additional amount of audiovisual expenditure credit for an accounting period (“the claim period”) that is the completion period (see section 1179DY) or a subsequent accounting period if—

(a)the company has incurred relevant visual effects expenditure on the film or programme in that period or an earlier accounting period, and

(b)where a claim has been made for Chapter 3 credit (whether for the claim period or earlier), the relevant percentage for the purposes of all such claims was the percentage given by subsection (2) or (5) of section 1179DV.

(a)39% of the total amount of the relevant visual effects expenditure incurred on the film or programme in the claim period and in previous periods, less

(b)the sum of—

(i)where Chapter 3 credits have been claimed by the production company, the adjusted VFX portion of those credits, and

(ii)any additional amounts of audiovisual expenditure credit previously claimed under this section.

(4)Take the following steps to determine the adjusted VFX portion of previously claimed Chapter 3 credits—

Step 1 (identify the total UK expenditure in the AVEC period)

Determine the total amount of the company’s relevant global expenditure (see section 1179CA(2)) that—

(a)

is UK expenditure (see section 1179AB), and

(b)

was incurred for accounting periods falling within the company’s AVEC period.

Step 2 (identify the amount of visual effects expenditure)

Determine how much of the result of Step 1 is relevant visual effects expenditure.

Step 3 (determine the extent to which the 80% cap applied)

Determine the amount (if any) of the excess to be deducted at Step 3 in section 1179CA(1) for the most recent accounting period for which a claim for Chapter 3 credit was made (which may be the claim period).

If that amount is nil go to Step 4, otherwise go to Step 5.

Step 4 (where the 80% cap did not apply, calculate the adjusted VFX portion)

If this Step applies, the adjusted VFX portion is the amount given by multiplying—

(a)

the sum of Chapter 3 credits claimed by the production company, by

(b)

the amount given by dividing the result of Step 2 by the result of Step 1.

Step 5 (treat the 80% cap as affecting the VFX portion first)

Subtract the result of Step 3 from the result of Step 2.

If the result is nil or less, the adjusted VFX portion is nil. If not, go to Step 6.

Step 6 (calculate the adjusted VFX portion, taking account of the 80% cap)

If this Step applies, the adjusted VFX portion is the amount given by multiplying the result of Step 5 by 0.34.

(5)The Treasury may by regulations replace—

(a)the percentage for the time being specified in subsection (3) (\"#p02140\")(a) (\"#p02143\"), or

(b)the number for the time being specified in Step 6 in subsection (4) (\"#p02160\") as the number by which the result of Step 5 in that subsection is multiplied.

(6)Sections 1179C and 1179CB to 1179CI (treatment of expenditure credits) apply to the additional amount as they apply to an expenditure credit under Chapter 3.

(7)In this section—

a company’s “AVEC period” means the period beginning with the commencement of the first accounting period for which this Part applies further to the election by the company under section 1179B(1) and ending with the end of the claim period;

“Chapter 3 credit” means an audiovisual expenditure credit in respect of the film or television programme determined under section 1179CA;

“relevant visual effects expenditure” means UK expenditure that—

counts as relevant production expenditure for the purposes of section 1179CA(2) (see section 1179DR);

Claim for reliefU.K.

41PClaim for relief for qualifying new residents

(1)Where an individual has made a foreign employment election, the individual may make a claim for relief for the qualifying year or any subsequent tax year (“a foreign employment relief claim”).

(2)Where an individual makes a foreign employment relief claim for a tax year, the individual is entitled to relief that is equal to so much of the net taxable employment income for that year as—

(a)reflects qualifying foreign employment income (see section 41Q (\"#p03989\")), and

(b)is identified as such in the claim.

(3)But subsection (2) (\"#p03945\") only applies to the extent the total amount of the relief given does not exceed the limit (see section 41R (\"#p04061\")).

(4)The relief is given by deducting the amount of the relief in calculating the individual's net income for the tax year for which the claim is made (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007).

(5)A foreign employment relief claim must be made in a return.

(6)A foreign employment relief claim for a tax year must be made before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with 31 January after the end of that tax year.

(7)A foreign employment relief claim may not be made as a consequential claim (within the meaning of section 43C(5) of TMA 1970) if the circumstances which give rise to the consequential claim result from a loss of tax brought about carelessly or deliberately by the individual or a person acting on the individual’s behalf.

(8)For the purposes of this Chapter “net taxable employment income”, in relation to a tax year, means the employment income on which the individual is charged to tax for the tax year (see section 9(1)).

41QAmount of relief available

(1)For the purposes of section 41P (\"#p03939\")(2) (\"#p03945\"), the amount of net taxable employment income for a tax year that “reflects” qualifying foreign employment income is the total of—

(a)the total of the amount of the net taxable earnings from each employment in the tax year that reflects qualifying foreign general earnings (see subsections (2) (\"#p04009\") to (5) (\"#p04235\")), and

(b)the total of the amount of the net taxable specific income from each employment for the tax year that reflects qualifying foreign third party income or qualifying foreign securities income (see subsection (6) (\"#p04279\")).

(2)The amount of the net taxable earnings from an employment in a tax year that “reflects” qualifying foreign general earnings is—

(a)the amount of the taxable earnings from the employment in the tax year that are qualifying foreign general earnings, minus

(b)the amount of the qualifying deductions.

(3)If the amount calculated under subsection (2) (\"#p04009\") is nil or a negative amount, then none of the net taxable earnings from the employment in the tax year reflect qualifying foreign general earnings.

(4)If the foreign employment relief claim is for the qualifying year, the amount of the qualifying deductions is the proportion of the total deductions that is the same as the proportion of the claim year taxable earnings that are qualifying foreign general earnings.

(5)If the foreign employment relief claim is for a subsequent tax year, the amount of the qualifying deductions is the amount resulting from the following steps—

Step 1

Deduct the claim year taxable earnings from the total deductions.

If the result is nil or a negative amount, there are no qualifying deductions.

Step 2

Deduct any other taxable earnings that are not qualifying foreign general earnings.

If the result is nil or a negative amount, there are no qualifying deductions.

(6)The proportion of the net taxable specific income from an employment for a tax year that “reflects” qualifying foreign third party income or qualifying foreign securities income is the same as the proportion of the taxable specific income for the employment in that year that is qualifying foreign third party income or qualifying foreign securities income.

(7)In this section—

“claim year taxable earnings” means the taxable earnings from the employment in the tax year that are “for” the year for which the claim is made determined in accordance with section 16 and 17;

“total deductions” means the total amount of any deductions allowed from the taxable earnings from the employment in the tax year under provisions listed in section 327(3) to (5) (see section 11(1)).

(a)30% of the relevant qualifying employment income, and

(b)£300,000.

(3)For the purposes of this section “relevant qualifying employment income” means—

(a)so much of the net taxable employment income for the tax year for which the claim is made as reflects qualifying employment income, and

(b)if the foreign employment relief claim is for a tax year that is subsequent to the qualifying year, so much of any net taxable employment income for any earlier tax year (but not any tax year before the qualifying year) as would reflect qualifying employment income if that earlier year was the year for which the claim was made.

(4)If the foreign employment relief claim is for a tax year that is subsequent to the qualifying year, the limit is reduced by the total of any amounts reflecting qualifying foreign employment income that have previously been relieved under section 41P (\"#p03939\").

(5)To determine the amounts mentioned in subsection (3) (\"#p04082\")(a) (\"#p04085\") and (b) (\"#p04089\"), apply section 41Q (\"#p03989\"), but as if—

(3)The “relieved amount” is the amount of the relief to which the individual is entitled under section 41P(2) of this Act as a result of making the foreign employment relief claim.

41TForeign employment relief ignored for purposes of determining adjusted net income

(3)To determine when securities income accrues treat an equal amount of the securities income as accruing on each day of the relevant period determined in accordance with section 41G.

(4)But if the proportion of the securities income that would be regarded as qualifying securities income by virtue of subsection (3) (\"#p04223\") is not, having regard to all the circumstances, just and reasonable, the amount of the securities income that is qualifying securities income is such amount as is just and reasonable.

(5)Qualifying securities income is wholly “qualifying foreign securities income” if the duties of the relevant employment are performed wholly outside the United Kingdom.

(6)If some, but not all, of the duties of the relevant employment are performed outside the United Kingdom—

(a)the qualifying securities income is to be apportioned (on a just and reasonable basis) between duties performed in the United Kingdom and duties performed outside the United Kingdom, and

(b)the income apportioned in respect of duties performed outside the United Kingdom is qualifying foreign securities income.

(5)Subsections (2) (\"#p05116\") and (3) (\"#p05120\") do not apply at any time to property to which section 49(1) (certain interests in possession) applies if, at that time, the person beneficially entitled to the interest is a long-term UK resident.

(6)Subsections (2) (\"#p05116\") to (4) (\"#p05124\") do not apply to property if—

(a)an individual has been beneficially entitled to an interest in possession in the property—

(i)at any time on or after 6 April 2025 while a long-term UK resident, or

(8)Where the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 74A(1) (arrangements involving acquisition of interest in settled property etc) are satisfied, none of subsections (2) (\"#p05116\") to (4) (\"#p05124\") applies at the time when the conditions are first satisfied or at any later time to make the relevant settled property (within the meaning of section 74A) excluded property.

(9)If—

(a)an amount is payable in respect of property (“the existing property”) comprised in a settlement, and

(b)the amount represents an accumulation of income which (once accumulated) becomes comprised in the settlement,

subsection (4) (\"#p05124\") has effect in the case of the amount as if the reference to the time when it became comprised in the settlement were to the time when the existing property became comprised in the settlement.

(10)Subsections (2) (\"#p05116\") to (4) (\"#p05124\") are subject to Schedule A1 (overseas property with value attributable to UK residential property).

(11)The reference in subsection (1) (\"#p05102\") to property comprised in a settlement does not include a reversionary interest in the property (and accordingly this section does not apply to such an interest and section 6(1) does).”

(4)This section comes into force on 6 April 2025.

(5)In this paragraph “the applicable period” means the period—

(a)beginning with the day on which the person making the disposal acquired the interest in land being disposed of or, if later, the day from which the interest in land became chargeable, and

from 6 April 2015, and

IntroductionU.K.

229AMeaning of potentially undertaxed

(1)The top-up amount and additional top-up amounts of a member (“M”) of a multinational group for an accounting period are “potentially undertaxed” if—

(a)M is the ultimate parent or is located in the same territory as the ultimate parent, or

(b)M is located in the same territory as the ultimate parent.

(4)This section and section 229B (\"#p13706\") do not apply to members of a joint venture group (but see section 229I (\"#p14137\") for alternative provision).

229BUntaxed amounts

(1)A member of a multinational group has an untaxed amount if conditions A and B are met.

(2)Condition A is that the top-up amount and additional top-up amounts of the member are potentially undertaxed.

(3)Condition B is that the sum of amounts attributed under Chapter 7 to responsible members in respect of the member’s top-up amount and additional top-up amounts is less than the sum of the member’s top-up amount and additional top-up amounts.

(a)the sum of amounts attributed under Chapter 7 to responsible members in respect of the member’s top-up amount and additional top-up amounts, from

(b)the sum of the member’s top-up amount and additional top-up amounts.

Allocation of untaxed amountsU.K.

229CAllocation of untaxed amount to members

(1)An untaxed amount of a member of a multinational group is to be allocated to qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom by—

(a)first, determining the amount (“the UK proportion”) of the untaxed amount to be allocated to the group in the United Kingdom in accordance with section 229D (\"#p13773\"), and

(b)then, allocating an amount of the UK proportion to each qualifying member located in the United Kingdom in accordance with section 229E (\"#p13878\").

(2)But no allocation is to be made under subsection (1) (\"#p13737\") if in section 229D (\"#p13773\")(1) (\"#p13775\") the results of both Step 2 (\"#p13782\") and Step 5 (\"#p13899\") are nil.

(3)For the purposes of this Chapter, a member of a multinational group is qualifying unless it is—

(a)an investment entity, or

(b)a member of a joint venture group.

229DAmount allocated to the United Kingdom

(1)Take the following steps to determine the UK proportion of an untaxed amount of a member of a multinational group—

Step 1

Determine the number of employees of qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom for the accounting period to which the untaxed amount relates (“the relevant period”).

Step 2

Determine the total number of employees in the relevant period of qualifying members of the group located in territories (including the United Kingdom) in which a qualifying undertaxed profits tax applies to the untaxed amount.

Step 3

Divide the result of Step 1 by the result of Step 2.

Step 4

Determine the value of tangible fixed assets of the qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom for the relevant period.

Step 5

Determine the value of tangible fixed assets of the qualifying members of the group located in territories (including the United Kingdom) in which a qualifying undertaxed profits tax applies to the untaxed amount.

Step 6

Divide the result of Step 4 by the result of Step 5.

Step 7

Add together the results of Step 3 and Step 6 and divide that sum by 2.

Step 8

The UK proportion of the untaxed amount is—

(a)

if the nil asset value condition is met, the untaxed amount multiplied by the result of Step 3 (\"#p13786\");

(b)

if the nil employee condition is met, the untaxed amount multiplied by the result of Step 6 (\"#p13798\");

(c)

in any other case, the untaxed amount multiplied by the result of Step 7 (\"#p13802\").

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1) (\"#p13880\")—

(a)the “nil asset value condition” is met if—

(i)the result of Step 5 (\"#p13794\") is nil, but

(ii)the result of Step 2 (\"#p13782\") is not nil;

(b)the “nil employee condition” is met if—

(i)the result of Step 2 (\"#p13782\") is nil, but

(ii)the result of Step 5 (\"#p13794\") is not nil.

(3)A qualifying undertaxed profits tax applies in a territory in relation to an untaxed amount if—

(a)a qualifying undertaxed profits tax is in force in that territory for the relevant period, and

(b)the provisions of that tax result in a proportion of the untaxed amount (however described for the purposes of that tax) that is greater than nil being allocated to the territory.

(4)See sections 229G (\"#p13996\") and 229H (\"#p14066\") for how to determine the number of employees and the value of tangible fixed assets of a qualifying member of a multinational group.

229EAllocation to qualifying members

(1)Take the following steps to determine how much of an untaxed amount is to be allocated to each qualifying member located in the United Kingdom—

Step 1

Determine the number of employees of the member in the accounting period (“the relevant period”) to which the untaxed amount relates.

Step 2

Determine the total number of employees for the relevant period of qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom.

Step 3

Divide the result of Step 1 by the result of Step 2.

Step 4

Determine the value of tangible fixed assets of the member for the relevant period.

Step 5

Determine the value of tangible fixed assets for the relevant period of the qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom.

Step 6

Divide the result of Step 4 by the result of Step 5.

Step 7

Add together the results of Step 3 and Step 6 and divide that sum by 2.

Step 8

The untaxed amount to be allocated to the member is—

(a)

if the nil asset value condition is met, the UK proportion multiplied by the result of Step 3;

(b)

if the nil employee condition is met, the UK proportion multiplied by the result of Step 6;

(c)

in any other case, the UK proportion multiplied by the result of Step 7.

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)—

(a)the “nil asset value condition” is met if—

(i)the result of Step 5 is nil, but

(ii)the result of Step 2 is not nil;

(b)the “nil employee condition” is met if—

(i)the result of Step 2 is nil, but

(ii)the result of Step 5 is not nil.

(3)This section is subject to section 229F (\"#p13962\").

229FElection to make one member of a group liable for untaxed amounts

(1)The filing member of the group may elect for an accounting period that—

(a)section 229E (\"#p13878\") does not apply, and

(b)instead, a member of the group specified in the election is to be allocated the whole of the UK proportion of each untaxed amount that would be otherwise be allocated between the qualifying members of the group located in the United Kingdom.

(2)A member of the group may only be specified in the election if—

(a)the member is located in the United Kingdom, and

(b)the member has consented to the election.

(3)Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section, and has effect for that purpose as if references to an information return or overseas return notification were to a self-assessment return or below-threshold notification.

How to determine number of employees and tangible fixed assets valuesU.K.

229GNumber of employees

(1)For the purposes of this Chapter, the number of employees of a qualifying member of a multinational group in an accounting period is the full-time equivalent employee number for that member for that period.

(2)To determine the full-time equivalent employee number for a member of a multinational group for an accounting period take the following steps—

Step 1

Determine the number of full-time employees of that member that were full-time employees for the whole of that period.

Step 2

Determine, for each employee of that member for that period who is not a full-time employee for the whole of that period (whether they were part-time employees or were not employed for the whole of the period), such fraction as is just and reasonable.

Step 3

Add together the number determined under Step 1 and the fractions determined under Step 2.

If the member was a member of the group throughout the whole of the period, the result of this Step is the full-time equivalent employee number.

Step 4

Where the member was not a member of the group for the whole period, make such adjustments to the result of Step 3 as is just and reasonable to arrive at a full-time equivalent employee number that reflects the number of employees of the member in the period for which it was a member of the group.

For the purpose of this Step, ignore section 208(2) (members joining or leaving group in an accounting period treated as members for the whole of the period).

(3)For the purposes of this section “employee”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means a person whose employment costs are met by that member (whether or not the person’s activities are carried on in the territory of the member) as recorded in appropriate financial statements of the member and who—

(a)is regarded as an employee under the law of the territory in which the member is located, or

(b)participates in the ordinary operating activities of the member of the group (including on a part-time basis).

(4)For the purposes of subsection (3) (\"#p14024\") financial statements are “appropriate” only if the basis on which they are prepared is consistent for all members of the group (wherever located).

(5)For the purposes of section 229D (\"#p13773\") (but not for the purposes of section 229E (\"#p13878\")), where a member of a multinational group is a flow-through entity, employees of the entity—

(a)are to be treated as employees of members of the group that are not flow-through entities that are located in the territory in which the flow-through entity was created, or

(b)where there are no such members in that territory, are ignored for the purposes of this Chapter.

(6)Subsection (5) (\"#p14041\") does not apply to employees of a flow-through entity that are regarded for the purposes of this section as employees of a permanent establishment of the entity.

(7)Where a permanent establishment does not prepare separate financial accounts, the reference in subsection (3) (\"#p14024\") to employment costs recorded in financial statements is to the employment costs that would have been so recorded had such statements been prepared (and those costs are to be excluded from the financial statements of the main entity for the purposes of applying this section).

229HValue of tangible fixed assets

(1)To determine the value of tangible fixed assets of a qualifying member of a multinational group for an accounting period—

(a)add together—

(i)the sum of the values of each tangible fixed asset held by the member at the start of the period, as those values are recorded in the member’s financial statements, and

(ii)the sum of the values of each tangible fixed asset held by the member at the end of the period, as those values are recorded in the member’s financial statements, and

(b)divide the result of paragraph (a) (\"#p14071\") by 2.

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1) (\"#p14068\") financial statements are “appropriate” only if the basis on which they are prepared is consistent for all members of the group (wherever located).

(3)In each case the value of a tangible fixed asset is to include accumulated depreciation, depletion or impairment.

(4)If the member is not a member of the group at the start of the period, or at the end of the period, the sum of the values of its tangible fixed assets at that time is to be treated as nil.

(5)For the purpose of subsection (4) (\"#p14098\"), ignore section 208(2) (members joining or leaving group in an accounting period treated as members for the whole of the period).

(6)Where a permanent establishment does not prepare separate financial accounts, the values to be used are those that would have been recorded in those accounts had they been prepared (and those values are to be excluded from the financial statements of the main entity for the purposes of applying this section).

(7)For the purposes of section 229D (\"#p13773\") (but not for the purposes of section 229E (\"#p13878\")), tangible fixed assets held by a member of the group that is a flow-through entity—

(a)are to be treated as held by members of the group that are not flow-through entities that are located in the territory in which the flow-through entity was created, or

(b)where there are no such members in that territory, are to be ignored for the purposes of this Chapter.

(8)Subsection (7) (\"#p14111\") does not apply to assets of a flow-through entity that are held by a permanent establishment of the entity.

(9)For the purposes of this Chapter “tangible fixed assets” means all tangible assets wherever located, other than cash or cash equivalents or financial assets.

Joint venturesU.K.

229IJoint ventures

(1)This section applies where—

(a)the ultimate parent of a multinational group is not subject to Pillar Two IIR tax for an accounting period,

(b)the group includes a joint venture group, and

(c)the members of the joint venture group are undertaxed in relation to the multinational group for that period.

(2)The members of a joint venture group are undertaxed in relation to a multinational group if—

(a)the sum of amounts attributed to responsible members of the multinational group under Chapter 7 in respect of members of the joint venture group’s top-up amount and additional top-up amounts, is less than

(b)the sum of such amounts in respect of the joint venture group that would be attributed under that Chapter to the ultimate parent of the multinational group if it were subject to Pillar Two IIR tax.

(3)The amount given by subtracting the amounts mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) from the amounts mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection is an untaxed amount of the joint venture group in relation to the multinational group.

(4)Sections 229C (\"#p13735\") to 229F (\"#p13962\") (allocation of untaxed amounts) apply for the purposes of allocating an untaxed amount of a joint venture group in relation to a multinational group to qualifying members of that multinational group as they apply to the allocation of an untaxed amount of a member of the multinational group to those members.

References to responsible membersU.K.

229JReferences to responsible members

(1)For the purpose of determining untaxed amounts of a member of a multinational group who is located in a territory in which a DIIR is in force, references in this Chapter to a responsible member are to be interpreted as if section 128 (responsible members) had effect with the following modifications—

(a)in subsection (2) omit “that are not located in the territory the ultimate parent is located in”;

(b)in subsection (3)(c), at the beginning insert “the intermediate parent,”;

(c)in subsection (4) omit “that are not located in the territory it is located in”;

(d)in subsection (5)(b), at the beginning insert “it or”;

(e)in subsection (6) omit “that are not located in the same territory it is located in”;

but this is subject to subsection (2) (\"#p14209\").

(2)For the purpose of determining whether the top-up amount and additional top-up amounts of a member (“M”) of a multinational group for an accounting period are “potentially undertaxed”, a member of the group which—

(a)is located in the same territory as M, and

(b)would apart from this subsection be a responsible member,

is to be regarded for all purposes of this Chapter as not being a responsible member unless a DIIR is in force for the accounting period in that territory.

(3)In this section “DIIR” means a tax which—

(a)implements, in a Pillar Two territory, rules relating to top-up tax under the IIR (within the meaning of the Pillar Two rules), and

(b)is designed so that tax charged under it is not limited to tax in respect of members who are located outside that territory.”

(1)Where any provision of this Part requires the substitution of a value recorded in the underlying profits accounts of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period, the substituted value—

(a)is to be used for all purposes of this Part instead of the value recorded in the accounts (for example, where the carrying value of an asset has been substituted and the value of that asset is relevant to the member’s deferred tax expense, that substituted value is to be used in connection with determining that expense), and

(b)is to be updated (for example, in making adjustments for depreciation for subsequent accounting periods),

in each case, in accordance with the accounting standard used in determining the underlying profits of the member.

(2)But where the value in question is the value of an asset, no adjustments for impairment are to be made to it.

(3)Where the impaired value of an asset recorded in the underlying profits accounts for any accounting period is less than the substituted value of the asset for that period, use the value from the underlying profits accounts instead for that period and all subsequent periods (and subsection (2) (\"#p14530\") does not apply in relation to that value).”

Step 1

Determine the total amount of the qualifying flow-through tax benefits provided to the investor under the arrangement in accounting periods before the later period.

Step 2

Subtract from the result of Step 1 the total of any amounts subtracted under subsection (2) (\"#p15056\") from the investor’s qualifying current tax expense for accounting periods before the later period.

Step 3

Compare the result of Step 2 with the amount of the investor’s excess return from the arrangement in the later period.

Whichever is less is the clawback amount.

(4)For the purposes of this section, an investor has an “excess return” from an arrangement in an accounting period—

(a)where section 176E applies, if the result of Step 6 in section 176E(1) exceeds the amount of the flow-through tax benefits provided under the arrangement in the accounting period, in which case the amount of the excess return is the amount of the excess;

Step 1

Determine (in accordance with section 272)—

(a)

whether the entity has a top-up amount for that period, and

(b)

the extent of any such amount.

Step 2

If the result of Step 1 (\"#p16099\") is not expressed in sterling, convert the result of that Step to sterling.”

(3)In subsection (1)—

(a)in the words before Step 1, for “as a qualifying entity or in respect of a qualifying entity” substitute “as or in respect of a qualifying entity which is not a member of a group”;

43(1)Section 272 (determining top-up amounts of entity that is a member of a group) is amended as follows.

(2)After subsection (3) insert—

“(3A)Part 3 has effect for those purposes as if the following sections were substituted for section 193—

“193Determination of top-up amounts of entity that is a member of a group

(1)Subsection (2) (\"#p16158\") sets out (for the purposes of Step 1 of section 270(A1)) how to determine in relation to an accounting period—

(a)whether an entity which is a standard member of a group has a top-up amount, and

(b)if so, what the amount is.

(2)Take the following Steps—

Step 1

Determine for the period (in accordance with section 272) the sum of any top-up amounts and additional top-up amounts of standard members of the group (the “total top-up amount”).

Step 2

Determine for each such member—

(a)

the adjusted profits (if any);

(b)

the covered tax balance.

Step 3

For each standard member of the group in relation to which a positive amount of adjusted profits is determined under Step 2 (\"#p16165\"), determine the “effective tax rate” by dividing the amount found under Step 2 (\"#p16165\")(b) (\"#p16172\") (covered tax balance) by the amount found under Step 2 (\"#p16165\")(a) (\"#p16168\") (adjusted profits).

Step 4

For any standard member of the group whose effective tax rate (see Step 3 (\"#p16177\")) is less than 15%—

(a)

determine that member’s “top-up tax percentage” by subtracting the member’s effective tax rate from 15%, and

(b)

proceed to Step 5 (\"#p16200\").

Step 5

Calculate for the member an amount (an “allocation key amount”) by multiplying—

(a)

the member’s top-up tax percentage (see Step 4 (\"#p16186\")(a)), by

(b)

the member’s adjusted profits.

Step 6

Determine the sum (the “group allocation key amount”) of all the allocation key amounts calculated under Step 5 (\"#p16200\") for members of the group.

Step 7

Determine the “allocation key ratio” for each standard member of the group whose effective tax rate (see Step 3 (\"#p16177\")) is less than 15%, by dividing—

(a)

the member’s allocation key amount (see Step 5 (\"#p16200\")), by

(b)

the group allocation key amount (see Step 6 (\"#p16213\")).

Step 8

Determine each such member’s top-up amount by multiplying—

(a)

the sum of any top-up amounts and additional top-up amounts of standard members of the group for the period (see Step 1 (\"#p16161\")), by

(b)

the member’s allocation key ratio (see Step 7 (\"#p16218\")).

Step 9

If none of the standard members falls within Step 3 (\"#p16177\"), or none of them has an effective tax rate of less than 15%, each standard member has a top-up amount equal to—

(a)

the total top-up amount, divided by

(b)

the number of the standard members.

193ASection 193: supplementary

(1)Section 193 and subsection (2) of this section apply to joint venture groups and their members as they apply to groups and their members.

(2)Section 193 has effect in relation to a qualifying entity that is a standard member of a group as if the total top-up amount referred to in that section included any top-up amounts or additional top-up amounts of qualifying investment entities determined under sections 220 to 224.

(3)See also subsections (9) to (11) of section 272, which—

(b)the financial accounts used for the preparation of that report did not reflect purchase price accounting adjustments, and

(c)there is no requirement to reflect purchase price adjustments in the relevant statements under the law of the territory that applies in relation to the preparation of those statements,

the relevant statements are not qualified financial statements.

(3)Sub-paragraph (4) (\"#p16524\") applies if—

(a)the relevant statements are qualified financial statements, and

(b)an impairment of goodwill in relation to a transaction entered into on or after 1 December 2021 is reflected in a member’s profit (loss) before income tax.

(a)in a case where the condition in sub-paragraph (5) (\"#p16537\") is not met, whether the simplified effective tax rate test is met (see paragraph 8), and

(b)in any case, whether the routine profits test is met (see paragraph 9).

Transitional safe harbour: arbitrage arrangementsU.K.

47(1)In Schedule 16, after paragraph 6 insert—

Deduction and non-inclusion arrangements and duplicate loss arrangements

6A(1)Where the aggregate profit (loss) before income tax of the standard members of a multinational group in a territory reflects disqualified expense, the aggregate profit (loss) before income tax is to be adjusted to exclude it.

(2)Disqualified expense means any expense or loss of a member of a multinational group reflected in the financial statements of the member arising as a result of qualifying arrangements that involve another member of the group—

(a)to the extent that the expense or loss is a result of the member directly or indirectly being provided credit by the other member or the other member otherwise making an investment in the member under the arrangements and—

(i)the credit or investment is not reflected as an increase in the revenue, or a gain, in the financial statements of the other member that corresponds to the expense or loss, or

(ii)it is not reasonable to expect that the credit or investment will be reflected as an increase in the taxable income of the other member over the life of the arrangements that corresponds to the expense or loss, or

(b)to the extent that—

(i)the expense or loss is also included as an expense or loss in the financial statements of another member of the group, or

(ii)the expense or loss is mirrored by an amount that can be deducted from the taxable income of another member of the group that is located in a different territory to the member.

(3)But—

(a)an expense or a loss is not disqualified expense as a result of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16587\")(a) (\"#p16590\") if it is solely referable to the provision of qualifying tier one capital,

(b)an expense or loss is not disqualified expense as a result of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16587\")(b) (\"#p16602\")(i) (\"#p16605\") to the extent it is offset against revenue that is included in the financial statements of each member whose financial statements reflect the expense or loss, and

(c)an expense or loss is not disqualified expense as a result of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16587\")(b) (\"#p16602\")(ii) (\"#p16609\") to the extent that it is offset against revenue or income that is included in both—

(i)the financial statements that reflect the expense or loss, and

(ii)the taxable income from which the amount that mirrors the expense or loss can be deducted.

(4)An expense or loss included in the financial statements of a member of a multinational group is to be ignored to the extent that the expense or loss is included in the financial statements of another member of the group as a result of—

(a)the other member having a direct or indirect ownership interest in the member, and

(b)the member being regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which the other member is located.

(5)Where as a result of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16587\")(b) (\"#p16602\")(i) (\"#p16605\") more than one standard member in a territory has disqualified expense in respect of the same expense or loss, sub-paragraph (1) (\"#p16583\") applies to all but one of those amounts of disqualified expense.

(6)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16587\")(a) (\"#p16590\")(ii) (\"#p16597\"), ignore any increase in the taxable income of the other member—

(a)that is offset by a devalued tax attribute, or

(b)where—

(i)the payment that gives rise to the expense or loss in question also results in a taxable deduction or loss of a further member of the group located in the same territory as the other member, and

(ii)that deduction or loss is not reflected in the aggregate profit (loss) before income tax for that territory for the purposes of determining whether an election under paragraph 3 that applies in relation to that further member can be made.

(7)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) (\"#p16668\")(a) (\"#p16675\"), a “devalued tax attribute” means a tax attribute of a member of a multinational group—

(a)whose value is reflected in financial statements of the member at less than the amount of the attribute multiplied by the tax rate that applies to the member, or

(b)whose value would be so reflected if the qualifying arrangements that result in disqualified expense or disqualified tax expense (see paragraph 6B (\"#p16748\")) were ignored.

(8)For the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 6B (\"#p16748\"), arrangements are “qualifying” if—

(a)they were entered into on or after 16 December 2022, or

(b)they were entered into before that date, but—

(i)the arrangements are amended on or after that date (including by way of a substitution of one or more of the parties),

(ii)the performance of rights or obligations under the arrangements is altered on or after that date (for example where payments under the arrangements are reduced or ceased), or

(iii)the accounting treatment of the arrangements is varied on or after that date.

(9)In this paragraph and in paragraph 6B (\"#p16748\") reference to the financial statements of a member of a multinational group is—

(a)in relation to an accounting period in which an election under paragraph 3 that applies in relation to the member was made, or for the purposes of determining whether such an election can be made, to the financial statements, or financial accounts, that form the basis of qualified financial statements in relation to the member for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, or

(b)otherwise, to the underlying profits accounts of that member (see section 136).

Duplicate tax recognition arrangements

6B(1)Where the aggregate qualifying income tax expense of the standard members of a multinational group in a territory reflects disqualified tax expense, the aggregate qualifying income tax expense is to be adjusted to exclude it.

(2)Disqualified tax expense means any qualifying income tax expense of a member of a multinational group reflected in the financial statements of the member that, as a result of qualifying arrangements, is also reflected in—

(a)the covered tax balance of one or more other members of the group, or

(b)the qualifying income tax expense of one or more other members of the group.

(3)But qualifying income tax expense is not to be regarded as disqualified tax expense—

(a)if the income to which the tax expense relates is reflected in the financial statements of each member of the group falling within sub-paragraph (2) (\"#p16753\")(a) (\"#p16756\") and (b) (\"#p16760\") to at least the same extent to which the tax expense is reflected in the covered tax balance, or qualifying income tax expense, of each of those members;

(b)to the extent that the duplication of the tax expense would not arise if the adjustments that would have been made in determining the member’s covered tax balance (and that are not required to be made for the purpose of determining the member’s qualifying income tax expense) had been made.”

(2)The amendment made by sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-4-paragraph-47-1\") has effect in relation to—

Introduction and chargeU.K.

1(1)This Part (\"#schedule-10-part-1\") of this Schedule (\"#schedule-10\") sets out a charge on amounts of qualifying overseas capital of individuals previously subject to the remittance basis.

(2)The charge is to be known as the temporary repatriation facility charge, and is referred to in this Schedule as the “TRF charge”.

(3)Paragraphs 2 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2\") to 6 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-6\") set out when amounts are, or are to be treated, as qualifying overseas capital.

(4)Amounts of qualifying overseas capital of an individual are subject to the TRF charge only if the individual designates them in accordance with this Part of this Schedule.

(5)An individual may only designate qualifying overseas capital if the individual was subject to the remittance basis for at least one tax year (being a tax year before the tax year 2025-26).

(6)An individual designates qualifying overseas capital by making an election (a “designation election”) in a return for the tax year 2025-26, 2026-27 or 2027-28 (see paragraph 8 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-8\") for further provision about designation elections).

(7)A designation election may only be made in a return if, for the tax year to which the return relates, the individual is UK resident for the purposes of income tax and capital gains tax (see Schedule 45 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/29/schedule/45\") to FA 2013 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/29\")).

(8)The amount of the TRF charge on qualifying overseas capital designated by an individual is—

(a)in the case of amounts of qualifying overseas capital designated in a return for the tax year 2025-26 or 2026-27, the amount equal to 12% of the amount of that capital, and

(b)in the case of amounts of qualifying overseas capital designated in a return for the tax year 2027-28, the amount equal to 15% of the amount of that capital.

(9)Part 2 of this Schedule sets out exemptions and reliefs from income tax and capital gains tax that apply where amounts of qualifying overseas capital are designated.

(10)Part 3 (\"#schedule-10-part-3\") of this Schedule (\"#schedule-10\") amends or modifies rules about the remittance of amounts where an individual has designated qualifying overseas capital.

(11)For the purposes of this Part (\"#schedule-10-part-1\") of this Schedule (\"#schedule-10\")—

(a)an individual is subject to the remittance basis for a tax year—

(i)in relation to the tax years 2008-09 to 2024-25, if any of sections 809B (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/section/809B\"), 809D (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/section/809D\") or 809E (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/section/809E\") of ITA 2007 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3\") apply to the individual for that year, or

(ii)in relation to any tax year before 2008-2009, if any income or gains of the individual for that year were subject to the remittance basis (including any income or gains that would have been regarded as arising in the tax year but were not as a result of the application of the remittance basis), and

(b)“return” means a return under section 8 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1970/9/section/8\") of TMA 1970 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1970/9\") (personal return for income tax and capital gains tax), and

(c)references to an election being included in a return include an election being so included as a result of an amendment of the return.

Qualifying overseas capital: main casesU.K.

2(1)An amount of capital is “qualifying overseas capital” of an individual if it falls within sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\"), (5) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-5\") or (8) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-8\").

(2)An amount of capital falls within this sub-paragraph if—

(a)it is an amount that arose in the tax year 2024-25 or an earlier tax year as income or as a gain,

(b)the amount has not been remitted to the United Kingdom, and

(c)the amount, if remitted to the United Kingdom, would have the effect mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3\")(a) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-a\") or (b) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-b\").

(3)That effect is that—

(a)the individual becomes chargeable to income tax by reference to the amount remitted in accordance with section 22 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/section/22\"), 26 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/section/26\"), 41F (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/section/41F\"), 554Z9 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/section/554Z9\") or 554Z10 of ITEPA 2003 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1\") or section 832 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/5/section/832\") of ITTOIA 2005 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/5\") (income charged on remittance basis), or

(b)a gain is treated as accruing to the individual by reference to the amount remitted in accordance with paragraph 1 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/12/schedule/1/paragraph/1\")(2) (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/12/schedule/1/paragraph/1\") of Schedule 1 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/12/schedule/1\") to TCGA 1992 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/12\") (gains charged on remittance basis).

(4)In determining whether an amount of capital falls within sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\") for the purposes of making a designation election for a tax year, the condition in sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\")(b) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2-b\") is to be regarded as met if it was met at the end of that tax year.

(5)An amount of capital falls within this sub-paragraph if—

(a)it is an amount that arose in the tax year 2024-25 or an earlier tax year as income or as a gain,

(b)the amount is remitted to the United Kingdom in the tax year 2025-26, 2026-27 or 2027-28, and

(c)that remittance has the effect mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3\")(a) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-a\") or (b) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-b\").

(6)An amount that is qualifying overseas capital falling within sub-paragraph (5) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-5\") (and that has not previously been designated as result of the amount falling within sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\")) may only be designated in a designation election for the tax year in which it was remitted.

(7)For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\")(c) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2-c\") and (5) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-5\")(c) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-5-c\"), a remittance is to be treated as having the effect mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3\")(a) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-a\") or (b) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-3-b\") if it would have that effect ignoring—

(a)Part 2 (\"#schedule-10-part-2\") of this Schedule (exemptions etc for designated qualifying overseas capital),

(b)section 809VA (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/section/809VA\") of ITA 2007 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3\") (business investment relief), and

(c)section 809X (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/section/809X\") of that Act (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3\") (exempt property).

(8)An amount of capital falls within this sub-paragraph if—

(a)it does not fall within sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-2\") or (5) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-5\"),

(b)it was held by the individual immediately before 6 April 2025,

(c)it was situated outside the United Kingdom—

(i)immediately before it was most recently acquired by the individual before that date, and

(ii)throughout the period beginning with the time referred to in sub-paragraph (i) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-2-8-c-i\") and ending with that date.

(9)References in Parts 1 (\"#schedule-10-part-1\") and 2 (\"#schedule-10-part-2\") of this Schedule (\"#schedule-10\") to amounts being remitted to the United Kingdom are to be construed in accordance with Chapter A1 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/part/14/chapter/A1\") of Part 14 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/part/14\") of ITA 2007 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3\") (see, in particular, sections 809L to 809O of that Act).

Part 2U.K.Exemptions etc for designated qualifying overseas capital

Income tax exemptions and reliefU.K.

10(1)No liability to income tax arises on the remittance of an amount of designated qualifying overseas capital.

(2)No liability to income tax arises on an amount of income treated as qualifying overseas capital under paragraph 6 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-6\") if the amount is designated.

(3)But such an amount is to be treated for the purposes of section 97(1) of TCGA 1992 (capital payments not to include amounts chargeable to income tax) as if it were chargeable to income tax.

(4)No liability to income tax arises on an amount of income treated as qualifying overseas capital under paragraph 7 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-7\") if the amount is designated.

(5)Accordingly the amount—

(a)will be a capital payment for the purposes of sections 86A to 96 of, and Schedule 4C to, TCGA 1992 (see section 97(1) of that Act), and

(b)will, as a result of paragraph 3 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-3\") or 5 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-5\") (or both), be qualifying overseas capital.

(6)Any such qualifying overseas capital is to be treated as having been designated by the individual (under that paragraph or those paragraphs), but no liability to the TRF charge is to arise as a result of that deemed designation.

(7)Sub-paragraph (8) (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-10-8\") applies where—

(a)offshore income gains, within the meaning of the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009, are treated as accruing to an individual in a tax year under section 87(2) of TCGA 1992 (as applied by regulation 20 of those regulations) as a result of a capital payment made to an individual, and

(b)an amount of that capital payment is qualifying overseas capital that has been designated by the individual.

(3)Accordingly—

(a)in the application of section 733(1) of ITA 2007 to the individual for subsequent tax years, the amount of the deemed income will be deducted at Step 2 and at paragraph (a) of Step 5, and

(b)in the application of section 733(1) of ITA 2007 to any other individual for subsequent tax years, the amount of the deemed income will be deducted at paragraph (b) of Step 5.

(4)If the deemed income is qualifying overseas capital by virtue of paragraph 7 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-7\"), Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007 has effect as though the benefit by reference to which the deemed income was treated as arising had never been provided.

(5)Accordingly, in the application of section 733(1) of ITA 2007 to any individual for subsequent tax years—

(a)that benefit will not be taken into account at Step 1,

(b)no deduction in respect of the deemed income will be made at Step 2 or Step 5, and

“809RZATransfers into TRF capital account

(1)Subsection (2) (\"#p24402\") applies to a transfer made from a mixed fund if—

(a)it is made from a mixed fund that contains TRF capital,

(b)the transfer is to a TRF capital account, and

(c)the amount of the transfer does not exceed the amount of TRF capital in the mixed fund at the time of the transfer.

(2)The transfer is to be treated as a transfer of TRF capital.

(3)Where subsection (2) (\"#p24402\") would apply to a transfer but does not because of paragraph (c) (\"#p24397\") of subsection (1) (\"#p24385\")—

(a)that transfer is to be treated as two separate transfers occurring one immediately after the other, and

(b)the first of those transfers is to be treated as being in the amount of TRF capital in the mixed fund (and accordingly subsection (2) will apply to that deemed transfer but not the second, which may result in the TRF capital account ceasing to be a TRF capital account).

(4)Section 809RZB (\"#p24429\") makes provision about the nomination of an account as a TRF capital account (and see sections 809RZC (\"#p24553\") and 809RZD (\"#p24581\") for the effect of making a transfer that contains amounts that are not TRF capital).

809RZBTRF capital account

(1)An individual may by notice to the Commissioners nominate an account to be a TRF capital account (and more than one nomination may have effect at any time).

(2)The notice must specify the qualifying date for the account.

(3)“The qualifying date” for the account is the first date on which there is paid into the account sums falling within subsection (4) (\"#p24444\") which (in total) are more than £10 at a time when the credit balance of the account was £10 or less.

(4)A sum falls within this subsection if it is TRF capital.

(5)The individual may withdraw the nomination by giving a further notice to the Commissioners, specifying the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn.

(6)A notice under subsection (1) (\"#p24431\") or (5) (\"#p24448\") must be in writing and include such information as the Commissioners may reasonably require.

(7)A notice under subsection (1) (\"#p24431\") or (5) (\"#p24448\") must be given no later than—

(a)31 January in the tax year following the tax year in which falls, as the case may be—

(i)the qualifying date for the account, or

(ii)the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn, or

(b)such later date as the Commissioners may allow.

(8)If an individual nominates an account under this section, the account is a “TRF capital account” of the individual throughout the period—

(a)beginning with the qualifying date, and

(b)ending with the date before the earliest of the following dates—

(i)the date on which the account is closed or ceases to be an ordinary bank account held by and for the benefit of the individual (alone or jointly with others);

(ii)the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn under this section;

(iii)6 April in a tax year in which there is a breach of the TRF deposit rule which is not remedied or cannot be remedied.

(9)The account is not to be a TRF capital account at all if—

(a)at any time on the qualifying date, the account is not an ordinary bank account held by and for the benefit of the individual (alone or jointly with others), or

(b)immediately before the qualifying date, the account has a credit balance of more than £10.

(10)Where the account has a credit balance immediately before the qualifying date (which must be £10 or less), that balance is to be treated as TRF capital for the purposes of this Chapter.

(11)Where interest is payable on TRF capital held in the TRF capital account, any such interest paid into the account is to be treated as TRF capital for the purposes of this Chapter.

(12)The account is not to be a TRF capital account at all if the qualifying date falls in a tax year in which there is a breach of the TRF deposit rule which is not remedied or cannot be remedied.

(13)Subsection (8) (\"#p24480\")(b) (\"#p24487\")(iii) (\"#p24498\") or (12) (\"#p24524\") (as relevant) is to be ignored if the breach occurs on or after a date falling within subsection (8) (\"#p24480\")(b) (\"#p24487\")(i) (\"#p24490\") or (ii) (\"#p24494\").

(14)For the purposes of this section an account is an “ordinary bank account” if it is a cash account in a bank (whether a current or savings account) where sums standing to the credit of the account from time to time represent a debt owed by the bank to the account-holder.

(15)In this section, and in sections 809RZC (\"#p24553\") and 809RZD (\"#p24581\"), a reference to anything “paid into” an account includes anything credited to the account by whatever means.

809RZCBreaches of the TRF deposit rule

(1)There is a breach of the TRF deposit rule if one or more prohibited sums are paid into a TRF capital account on the qualifying date or any day after the qualifying date.

(2)A breach of the TRF deposit rule is remedied if, within 30 days beginning with the day on which the prohibited sums are paid into the account, the required amount is transferred out of the account by way of a single one-off qualifying transfer.

(3)A transfer is “qualifying” if it does not result in the remittance of any amount to the United Kingdom.

(4)“The required amount” is an amount equal to the total of the prohibited sums paid into the TRF capital account on the day of the breach.

(5)If there are 2 days in a tax year on which one or more breaches of the TRF deposit rule occur, subsection (2) (\"#p24559\") does not apply to any breach on any subsequent day in the tax year (and accordingly any breach occurring on any day after the second day in the tax year on which there has been a breach cannot be remedied).

(6)A “prohibited sum” is anything other than a sum that is TRF capital.

809RZDEffect where 30-day deadline is met

(1)This section applies if the required amount in relation to a breach of the TRF deposit rule was transferred out of the account in accordance with section 809RZC (\"#p24553\")(2) (\"#p24559\").

(2)Sections 809Q and 809R have effect as if—

(a)the intervening transactions had never taken place, and

(b)each prohibited sum represented by the required amount had instead been transferred directly (at the time that sum was paid into the TRF capital account) into the account or other property into which the required amount was transferred by virtue of the single one-off qualifying transfer.

(3)Each of the following is an “intervening transaction”—

(a)each payment into the TRF capital account of a prohibited sum represented by the required amount, and

(b)the single one-off qualifying transfer out of the TRF capital account.”

Temporary application of annualised basis to mixed funds containing TRF capitalU.K.

18(1)This following modifications have effect for the tax years 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28.

(2)Chapter A1 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/part/14/chapter/A1\") of Part 14 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3/part/14\") of ITA 2007 (\"https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/3\") has effect as if—

(a)after section 809R there were inserted—

“809RZZAAnnualised basis for mixed funds containing TRF capital

(1)This section applies where, at any time in a tax year, a mixed fund contains TRF capital.

(2)If this section applies, the composition of each transfer made from the fund in that tax year at any time is to be determined as follows—

Step 1

Suppose that all transfers made from the mixed fund to a TRF capital account in relation to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") applies had been a single transfer made from the fund at the end of the tax year.

Whether that section applies in relation to transfers to a TRF capital account is determined as if all transfers from the mixed fund were made at the end of the tax year but transfers to a TRF capital account were made—

(a)

before any other transfer from the mixed fund was made, and

(b)

sequentially in the order in which the transfers to a TRF capital account were actually made.

Step 2

Suppose that all the condition A transfers made from the mixed fund in the tax year had been a single transfer made at the end of the tax year immediately after the single transfer mentioned in Step 1 (\"#p24645\").

Step 3

Suppose that all the other transfers made from the account in the tax year had been a single offshore transfer made at the end of the tax year immediately after the single transfer mentioned in Step 2 (\"#p24661\").

Step 4

Applying those suppositions—

(a)

find under section 809Q(3) the content of the single transfer mentioned in Step 2 (\"#p24661\"), and

(b)

find under section 809R(4) the content of the single offshore transfer mentioned in Step 3 (\"#p24666\").

Step 5

Each transfer made from the fund in the tax year, other than a transfer to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") is regarded as applying in accordance with Step 1 (\"#p24645\"), is treated as containing the specified proportion of each kind of income or capital contained in the relevant deemed transfer.

“The specified proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by the amount of the relevant deemed transfer.

“The relevant deemed transfer is—

(a)

if the transfer is a condition A transfer, the single transfer mentioned in Step 2 (\"#p24661\"), and

(b)

otherwise, the single offshore transfer mentioned in Step 3 (\"#p24666\").

Step 6

Each transfer made from the fund in the tax year to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") is regarded as applying in accordance with Step 1 (\"#p24645\") is to be treated as a transfer to which that section applies (and no other transfer in the tax year is to be regarded as a transfer in relation to which that section applies).

(3)Subsection (2) (\"#p24642\") applies in determining the composition of a transfer for the purposes of sections 809Q and 809R but it does not otherwise affect the date on which a transfer is considered to occur for the purposes of this Chapter.

(4)A transfer from the fund is a “condition A transfer” if and to the extent that—

(a)condition A in section 809L is met, and

(b)either—

(i)the property or consideration for the service is (wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from, the transfer, or

(ii)the transfer, or anything deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from the transfer, is used as mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).

(5)A transfer from the fund is an “other transfer” if and to the extent that it is neither a condition A transfer nor a transfer to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") is regarded as applying in accordance with Step 1 (\"#p24645\").

(6)Treat a transfer as an “other transfer” if and to the extent that, at the end of the tax year—

(a)it is neither a condition A transfer nor a transfer to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") is regarded as applying in accordance with Step 1 (\"#p24645\"), and

(b)on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made at that time, it will not become either a condition A transfer or a transfer to which section 809RZA (\"#p24383\")(2) (\"#p24402\") is regarded as applying in accordance with Step 1 (\"#p24645\").

(7)For the purposes of Step 5 (\"#p24685\") in subsection (2) (\"#p24642\")—

(a)TRF capital is to be treated as a kind of income or capital, and

(b)TRF capital is not to be regarded as any other kind of income or capital.”, and

(b)in section 809RZD (\"#p24581\") (as inserted by paragraph 17 (\"#schedule-10-paragraph-17\")), at the end there were inserted—

“(4)If it is supposed under Steps 1 (\"#p24645\") to 3 (\"#p24666\") of section 809RZZA (\"#p24636\")(2) (\"#p24642\") that single transfers had been made in the intervening period, re-apply those steps in relation to those transfers taking account of subsection (2) (\"#p24590\") and re-apply sections 809Q and 809R accordingly.

(5)“The intervening period” is the period—

(a)beginning with the day on which the breach occurred, and

(b)ending with the day on which the single one-off qualifying transfer was made in accordance with section 809RZC (\"#p24553\")(2) (\"#p24559\").

(6)If more than one qualifying transfer of a sum equal to the required amount was transferred out of the TRF capital account within the 30-day grace period, the first of those transfers is assumed to be the single one-off qualifying transfer.

(7)“The 30-day grace period” is the period of 30 days mentioned in section 809RZC (\"#p24553\")(2) (\"#p24559\").”

Step 2

Deduct any amount of the total protected income that is matched under the transfer of assets abroad code in the current tax year or an earlier tax year.

Step 3

Deduct any amount of the total protected income on which P or any other individual is liable to income tax in the current tax year or an earlier tax year.

Step 4

Deduct any amount that, in relation to the settlement, is treated under section 643A as P’s income in an earlier tax year or as another individual’s income in any tax year.

(b)an amount of income treated as arising to P or any other individual under section 732 of ITA 2007

(4)For the purposes of Step 3 in subsection (1) (\"#p25693\"), ignore any liability to income tax arising under section 643A above or under section 731 of ITA 2007 (transfer of assets abroad: benefits charge).
