(1A) (1) The following steps are to be taken for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amounts for a settlement that are outstanding at the end of a tax year (“the relevant tax year”). Step 1 Find the section 2(2) amount for the settlement for the relevant tax year and earlier tax years, as reduced under section 87A as it applies for the relevant tax year and earlier tax years. Step 2 This Step applies if, by virtue of the matching of the section 2(2) amount for the settlement for a tax year (“the applicable year”) with a capital payment, chargeable gains are treated under section 87 or 89(2) as accruing in the relevant tax year to a beneficiary who is not chargeable to tax for that year. Increase the section 2(2) amount for the applicable year (found under Step 1) by the amount of the chargeable gains. (2) For the purposes of Step 1 of sub-paragraph (1) take into account the effect of section 90 in relation to any transfer of settled property from or to the trustees of the settlement made in or before the relevant tax year. (3) For the purposes of this Schedule a beneficiary is “chargeable to tax” for a tax year if the beneficiary is resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom in that year.

134

In paragraph 4(2) (chargeable amount: non-resident settlement), at the end insert “ (and had made the disposals which Schedule 4B treats them as having made) ”.

135

In paragraph 5(2)(a) (chargeable amount: dual resident settlement), after “apply” insert “ (and the disposals which Schedule 4B treats them as having made were made) ”.

136

Omit paragraph 7A (and the heading before it).

137

For paragraph 7B substitute—

(7B) (1) This paragraph applies if the trustees of the transferor settlement make a further transfer of value to which Schedule 4B applies in a tax year (“the year of the transfer”) after the tax year mentioned in paragraph 1(3). (2) If the settlement has a Schedule 4C pool at the beginning of the year of the transfer— (a) the section 2(2) amounts in the Schedule 4C pool are increased by the section 2(2) amounts for the settlement that are outstanding at the end of the year of the transfer, and (b) the section 2(2) amount in the pool for the year of transfer is increased (or further increased) by the amount of Schedule 4B trust gains accruing by virtue of the further transfer. (3) If the settlement does not have a Schedule 4C pool at the beginning of the year of the transfer, this Schedule applies in relation to the further transfer as it applied in relation to the original transfer. (4) For the purposes of this paragraph a settlement has a Schedule 4C pool until the end of the tax year in which all section 2(2) amounts in the pool have been reduced to nil.

138

For paragraph 8 substitute—

(8) (1) Chargeable gains are treated as accruing in a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) to a beneficiary who has received a capital payment from the trustees of a relevant settlement in the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year if all or part of the capital payment is matched (under section 87A as it applies for the relevant tax year) with the section 2(2) amount in the Schedule 4C pool for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year. (2) The amount of chargeable gains treated as accruing is equal to— (a) the amount of the capital payment, or (b) if only part of the capital payment is matched, the amount of that part. (3) Section 87A applies for a tax year for the purposes of matching capital payments received from the trustees of a relevant settlement with section 2(2) amounts in the Schedule 4C pool as if— (a) references to section 2(2) amounts were to section 2(2) amounts in the Schedule 4C pool, (b) references to a capital payment received from the trustees by a beneficiary were to a capital payment received from the trustees of a relevant settlement by a beneficiary who is chargeable to tax for that year, and (c) for section 87A(3)(b) there were substituted— (b) all section 2(2) amounts in the Schedule 4C pool have been reduced to nil. (4) Section 87A applies for a tax year by virtue of this paragraph before it applies for that year otherwise than by virtue of this paragraph; but this is subject to sub-paragraph (5). (5) If section 87A applies for a tax year by virtue of section 762(3) of the Taxes Act (offshore income gains), it applies for that year by virtue of that provision before it applies for that year by virtue of this paragraph.

139

After paragraph 8A insert—

(8AA) Section 87B (remittance basis) applies in relation to chargeable gains treated under paragraph 8 as accruing as it applies in relation to chargeable gains treated under section 87 as accruing.

(4) This sub-paragraph applies to a capital payment if (and to the extent that) it is received (or treated as received) in a tax year from the trustees by a company that— (a) is not resident in the United Kingdom in that year, and (b) would be a close company if it were resident in the United Kingdom, (and is not treated under any of subsections (3) to (5) of section 96 as received by another person).

142

In paragraph 10 (residence of trustees from whom capital payment received)—

(1A) Where part of a capital payment is matched, references in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) to the capital payment are to the part matched.

(2) The person is entitled to a tax credit equal to one-ninth of the amount or value of the grossed up distribution (but see subsections (3) and (6)).

(7) In this section— - “eligible non-UK resident”, in relation to a distribution, means an individual who, at any time in the tax year in which the distribution (or the part of the distribution to which the tax credit relates) is brought into charge to tax, is a non-UK resident who meets the condition in section 56(3) of ITA 2007 (residence etc of claimants), - “grossed up distribution” means the distribution increased by the amount of any tax chargeable in respect of the distribution directly or by deduction under the laws of the territory in which the company is resident, including special withholding tax, - “minority shareholder”, in relation to a company, has the meaning given in section 397C, - “relevant distribution”, in relation to a person, means— 1. a qualifying distribution arising in a relevant tax year, 2. a cash dividend paid over to the person under paragraph 68(4) of Schedule 2 of ITEPA 2003 (cash dividend paid over if not reinvested etc) in a relevant tax year, and 3. a dividend treated under section 407 as paid to the person in a relevant tax year, - “relevant tax year” means the tax year 2008-09 or a subsequent tax year, and - “special withholding tax” has the meaning given in section 107(3) of FA 2004.

(397B) (1) This section applies where, under section 581 of ITA 2007, a person is treated as receiving an overseas dividend by virtue of having received a manufactured overseas dividend which is representative of an overseas dividend. (2) For the purposes of section 397A, the person is treated as receiving a relevant distribution made by a non-UK resident company that is not an offshore fund if, and only if, the manufactured overseas dividend is representative of such a distribution. (3) References in section 397A to the grossed up distribution have effect as if they were references to the gross amount of the overseas dividend of which the manufactured overseas dividend is representative, disregarding the amount of any overseas tax credit. (4) In this section— - “gross amount”, in relation to a manufactured overseas dividend, has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 11 of ITA 2007 (manufactured payments) (see section 589 of that Act), - “manufactured overseas dividend” and “overseas tax credit” have the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of that Part (see sections 581 and 591 of that Act), and - “overseas dividend” has the same meaning as in that Part (see section 567 of that Act). (397C) (1) In section 397A “minority shareholder”, in relation to a non-UK resident company, means a person whose shareholding in the company is less than 10% of the company's issued share capital. (2) Subsections (3) to (6) make provision about the circumstances in which shares form part of a person's shareholding in a company for the purposes of this section. (3) Shares form part of a person's shareholding in a company to the extent that the person is beneficially entitled to the shares or to a distribution arising in respect of the shares (or both). (4) Shares form part of a person's shareholding in the company where— (a) a person is a settlor in relation to a settlement, and (b) income arising from shares comprised in the settlement is treated for income tax purposes as the income of that person and of that person alone. (5) Shares form part of the shareholding in a company of a person (“P”) if— (a) they form part of the shareholding in the company of a person connected with P, (b) P transferred the shares to the connected person or arranged for the connected person to acquire the shares, and (c) the purpose of the transfer or arrangement was wholly or mainly to enable P to avoid tax. (6) Shares form part of a person's shareholding in a company if that person has transferred the shares to another person under a repo or stock lending arrangement. (7) In this section— - “repo” has the same meaning as in Part 11 of ITA 2007 (see section 569 of that Act), - “settlement” and “settlor” have the same meaning as in Chapter 5 of Part 5 of this Act, and - “stock lending arrangement” has the same meaning as in Part 11 of ITA 2007 (see section 568 of that Act).

  • (5) Condition D is that the claim is allowed.

Amount of gift aid supplement

2
  • (1) The amount of gift aid supplement that a charity is entitled to be paid in respect of a gift aid donation is—

The “notional basic rate”

3

  • (a) ought not to have been made, or
  • (b) is or has become excessive.

  • (3) An amount to be recovered in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) is liable to interest as if it were an amount of income tax wrongly repaid to the charity.
  • (4) In this paragraph “relevant amount of gift aid supplement” means the payment or set-off of the amount of gift aid supplement, to the extent that it—
  • (a) ought not to have been made, or
  • (b) is or has become excessive.
  • (5) For the purposes of this paragraph income tax is “wrongly repaid” to a charity if it is an amount repaid to the charity which ought not to have been repaid.
