119
In TCGA 1992, for section 10A substitute—
(10A) (1) This section applies if an individual (“the taxpayer”) is temporarily non-resident. (2) The taxpayer is chargeable to capital gains tax as if gains and losses within subsection (3) were chargeable gains or, as the case may be, losses accruing to the taxpayer in the period of return. (3) The gains and losses within this subsection are— (a) chargeable gains and losses that accrued to the taxpayer in the temporary period of non-residence, (b) chargeable gains that would be treated under section 13 as having accrued to the taxpayer in that period if the residence assumption were made, (c) losses that would be allowable in the taxpayer's case under section 13(8) in that period if that assumption were made, and (d) chargeable gains that would be treated under section 86 as having accrued to the taxpayer in a tax year falling wholly in that period if the taxpayer had been resident in the United Kingdom for that year. (4) The residence assumption is— (a) that the taxpayer had been resident in the United Kingdom for the tax year in which the gain or loss accrued to the company, or (b) if that tax year was a split year as respects the taxpayer, that the gain or loss had accrued to the company in the UK part of it. (5) But— (a) a gain is not within subsection (3) if, ignoring this section, the taxpayer is chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of it (and could not cease to be so chargeable by making a claim under section 6 of TIOPA 2010), and (b) a loss is not within subsection (3) if the test in paragraph (a) would be met if it were a gain. (6) Subsection (2) is subject to sections 10AA and 86A. (7) To determine the losses mentioned in subsection (3)(c)— (a) calculate separately, for each tax year falling wholly or partly in the temporary period of non-residence, the portion of sum A that does not exceed sum B, and (b) add up all those portions. (8) For the purposes of subsection (7)— - “sum A” is the aggregate of the losses that were not available in accordance with section 13(8) for reducing gains accruing to the taxpayer by virtue of section 13 in the relevant tax year, but would have been available if the residence assumption had been made, and - “sum B” is the amount of the gains that did not accrue to the taxpayer by virtue of section 13 in that tax year but would have so accrued if that assumption had been made. (9) If section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the taxpayer for the year of return, any foreign chargeable gains falling within subsection (3) by virtue of paragraph (a) of that subsection that were remitted to the United Kingdom at any time in the temporary period of non-residence are to be treated as remitted to the United Kingdom in the period of return. (10) Part 4 of Schedule 45 to the Finance Act 2013 (statutory residence test: anti-avoidance) explains— (a) when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-resident”, and (b) what “the temporary period of non-residence” and “the period of return” mean. (11) In this section— - “foreign chargeable gains” has the meaning given by section 12(4); - “remitted to the United Kingdom” has the same meaning as in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007; - “the year of return” means the tax year that consists of or includes the period of return. (10AA) (1) Section 10A(2) does not apply to a gain or loss accruing on the disposal by the taxpayer of an asset if— (a) the asset was acquired by the taxpayer in the temporary period of non-residence, (b) it was so acquired otherwise than by means of a relevant disposal that by virtue of section 58, 73 or 258(4) is treated as having been a disposal on which neither a gain nor a loss accrued, (c) the asset is not an interest created by or arising under a settlement, and (d) the amount or value of the consideration for the acquisition of the asset by the taxpayer does not fall, by reference to any relevant disposal, to be treated as reduced under section 23(4)(b) or (5)(b), 152(1)(b), 153(1)(b), 162(3)(b) or 247(2)(b) or (3)(b). (2) “Relevant disposal” means a disposal of an asset acquired by the person making the disposal at a time when that person was resident in the United Kingdom and was not Treaty non-resident. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if— (a) the gain is one that (ignoring section 10A) would fall to be treated by virtue of section 116(10) or (11), 134 or 154(2) or (4) as accruing on the disposal of the whole or part of another asset, and (b) that other asset meets the requirements of paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (1), but the asset in respect of which the gain actually accrued or would actually accrue does not. (4) Nothing in any double taxation relief arrangements is to be read as preventing the taxpayer from being chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of any chargeable gains treated under section 10A as accruing to the taxpayer in the period of return (or as preventing a charge to that tax from arising as a result). (5) Nothing in any enactment imposing any limit on the time within which an assessment to capital gains tax may be made prevents any assessment for the year of departure from being made in the taxpayer's case at any time before the end of the second anniversary of the 31 January next following the year of return (as defined in section 10A).
120
For section 86A of TCGA 1992 substitute—
(86A) (1) Subsection (3) applies if— (a) chargeable gains of an amount equal to the amount referred to in section 86(1)(e) for a tax year (“year A”) are treated under section 10A as accruing to a settlor under section 86 in the period of return, (b) there are amounts on which beneficiaries of the settlement are charged to tax under section 87 or 89(2) for one or more tax years, each of which is earlier than the year of return, and (c) those amounts are in respect of matched capital payments received by the beneficiaries. (2) A “matched” capital payment is a capital payment, all or part of which is matched under section 87A with the section 2(2) amount for year A. (3) The amount of the chargeable gains mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for year A that are treated under section 10A as accruing to the settlor under section 86 in the period of return is to be reduced by the appropriate amount. (4) The appropriate amount is— (a) the sum of the amounts mentioned in subsection (1)(c) to the extent that the matched capital payments are matched under section 87A with the section 2(2) amount for year A, or (b) if the property comprised in the settlement has at any time included property not originating from the settlor, so much (if any) of that sum as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is properly referable to the settlor. (5) If a reduction falls to be made under subsection (3) for the year of return, the deduction to be made in accordance with section 87(4)(b) for the settlement for that year must not be made until— (a) all the reductions to be made under subsection (3) for that year for each settlor have been made, and (b) those reductions are to be made starting with the year immediately preceding the year of return and working backwards. (6) Subsection (7) applies if, with respect to year A, an amount remains to be treated under section 10A as accruing to any of the settlors in the period of return after having made the reductions under subsection (3) with respect to year A. (7) The aggregate of the amounts remaining to be so treated (for all of the settlors) is to be applied in reducing so much of the section 2(2) amount for year A as has not already been matched with a capital payment under section 87A for any year prior to the year of return (but not so as to reduce the section 2(2) amount below zero). (8) In this section— (a) “the settlement” means the settlement in relation to which the settlor mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is a settlor, (b) a reference to “the settlors” or “each settlor” is to the settlors or each settlor in relation to the settlement, (c) “period of return” and “year of return” have the same meanings as in section 10A, and (d) paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 applies in construing the reference to property originating from the settlor.

, and
- (b) in paragraph (b), for “the intervening year” substitute “ year A ”.

(4) Subsection (3)(d)(i) includes a case where the charge could be prevented by making a DTR claim, even if no claim is in fact made.

132
In Chapter 1 (introduction), after section 368 insert—
(368A) (1) This section concerns provisions of this Part that are expressed to apply if an individual is “temporarily non-resident” (“TNR provisions”).

(2) Subsections (3) and (4) have effect in cases where the distribution year is not the year of return. (3) The total income (see Step 1 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007) on which the individual is charged to income tax for the year of return is to be increased by an amount equal to the amount on which tax would be charged under this Chapter in respect of the distribution disregarding any double taxation relief arrangements. (4) But the notional UK tax on that distribution is to be allowed as a credit against the individual's liability to income tax for the year of return under Step 6 of the calculation in section 23. (5) If the distribution year is the year of return, the tax charged under this Chapter in respect of the relevant distribution is to be charged and assessed without regard to the existence of double taxation relief arrangements. (6) For the purposes of this section, a dividend or other distribution is a “relevant distribution” if— (a) it is a dividend or other distribution of a close company, and (b) it is made or treated as made to the individual because the individual was at a relevant time— (i) a material participator in the company, or (ii) an associate of a material participator in the company. (7) But a dividend or other distribution within subsection (6) in the form of a cash dividend is not a “relevant distribution” to the extent that the dividend is paid in respect of post-departure trade profits. (8) “Post-departure trade profits” are— (a) trade profits of the close company arising in an accounting period that begins after the start of the temporary period of non-residence, and (b) so much of any trade profits of the close company arising in an accounting period that straddles the start of that temporary period as is attributable (on a just and reasonable basis) to a time after the start of that temporary period. (9) The extent to which a dividend is paid in respect of post-departure trade profits is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis. (10) The “notional UK tax” on the relevant distribution is so much of the income tax paid by the individual for the distribution year as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to the relevant distribution. (11) If section 393 applies, references in this section to a distribution being made to the individual are to a cash dividend being paid over to the individual. (12) In this section— - “associate” and “participator” have the same meanings as in Part 10 of CTA 2010 (see sections 448 and 454); - “material participator” means a participator who has a material interest in the company, as defined in section 457 of that Act; - “relevant time” means— 1. any time in the year of departure or, if the year of departure is a split year as respects the individual, the UK part of that year, or 2. any time in one or more of the 3 tax years preceding that year; - “trade profits of the close company” means the profits of any trade carried on by the close company, as calculated in accordance with Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income).

(3) A dividend is within this subsection if— (a) the individual receives or becomes entitled to it in the temporary period of non-residence, (b) it is a dividend of a company that would be a close company if the company were UK resident, (c) the individual receives or becomes entitled to it by virtue of being at a relevant time— (i) a material participator in the company, or (ii) an associate of a material participator in the company, and (d) ignoring this section, the individual— (i) is not liable for tax under this Chapter in respect of the dividend, but (ii) would have been so liable if the individual had received the dividend, or become entitled to it, in the period of return. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)— (a) “associate” and “participator” have the same meanings as in Part 10 of CTA 2010 (see sections 448 and 454), (b) a “material participator” is a participator who has a material interest in the company, as defined in section 457 of that Act, (c) “relevant time” means— (i) any time in the year of departure or, if the year of departure is a split year as respects the individual, the UK part of that year, or (ii) any time in one or more of the 3 tax years preceding that year, and (d) paragraph (d)(i) includes a case where the individual could be relieved of liability on the making of a claim under section 6 of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief), even if no claim is in fact made. (5) If section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the individual for the year of return, any dividend within subsection (3) that was remitted to the United Kingdom in the temporary period of non-residence is to be treated as remitted to the United Kingdom in the period of return. (6) This section does not apply to a dividend within subsection (3) to the extent that it is paid in respect of post-departure trade profits. (7) “Post-departure trade profits” are— (a) trade profits of the company arising in an accounting period that begins after the start of the temporary period of non-residence, and (b) so much of any trade profits of the company arising in an accounting period that straddles the start of that temporary period as is attributable (on a just and reasonable basis) to a time after the start of that temporary period. (8) The extent to which a dividend is paid in respect of post-departure trade profits is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis. (9) If section 406 or 407 applies, references in this section to a dividend being received by the individual are to a cash dividend being paid over to the individual or (as the case may be) a dividend being treated as paid to the individual. (10) In this section— - “remitted to the United Kingdom” has the meaning given in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007; - “trade profits of the company” means the profits of any trade carried on by the company, as they would be calculated in accordance with Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income) if the company were UK resident.

(2) Subsections (3) and (4) have effect in cases where the arising year is not the year of return. (3) The total income (see Step 1 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007) on which the individual is charged to income tax for the year of return is to be increased by an amount equal to the amount on which tax would be charged under this Chapter in respect of the relevant stock dividend income disregarding any double taxation relief arrangements. (4) But the notional UK tax on that relevant stock dividend income is to be allowed as a credit against the individual's liability to income tax for the year of return under Step 6 of the calculation in section 23. (5) If the arising year is the year of return, the tax charged under this Chapter in respect of the relevant stock dividend income is to be charged and assessed without regard to the existence of double taxation relief arrangements. (6) Stock dividend income is “relevant stock dividend income” if— (a) the UK resident company that issues the share capital or bonus share capital is a close company, and (b) the individual is beneficially entitled to that share capital or bonus share capital by virtue of being at a relevant time— (i) a material participator in the company, or (ii) an associate of a material participator in the company. (7) But stock dividend income within subsection (6) is not “relevant stock dividend income” to the extent that the share capital or bonus share capital is issued in respect of post-departure trade profits. (8) “Post-departure trade profits” are— (a) trade profits of the close company arising in an accounting period that begins after the start of the temporary period of non-residence, and (b) so much of any trade profits of the close company arising in an accounting period that straddles the start of that temporary period as is attributable (on a just and reasonable basis) to a time after the start of that temporary period. (9) The extent to which share capital or bonus share capital is issued in respect of post-departure trade profits is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis. (10) The “notional UK tax” on the relevant stock dividend income is so much of the income tax paid by the individual for the arising year as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to that income. (11) In this section— - “associate” and “participator” have the same meanings as in Part 10 of CTA 2010 (see sections 448 and 454); - “material participator” means a participator who has a material interest in the company, as defined in section 457 of that Act; - “relevant time” means— 1. any time in the year of departure or, if the year of departure is a split year as respects the individual, the UK part of that year, or 2. any time in one or more of the 3 tax years preceding that year; - “trade profits of the close company” means the profits of any trade carried on by the close company, as calculated in accordance with Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income).

(4) Subsection (3)(c)(i) includes a case where the individual could be relieved of liability on the making of a claim under section 6 of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief), even if no claim is in fact made.
137
In Chapter 8 of Part 5 of that Act (income not otherwise charged), after section 689 insert—
(689A) (1) This section applies if an individual is temporarily non-resident. (2) Distributions within subsection (3) are to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if they had been received by the individual, or as if the individual had become entitled to them, in the period of return. (3) A distribution is within this subsection if— (a) the individual receives or becomes entitled to it in the temporary period of non-residence, (b) it is a distribution of a company that is a close company or that would be a close company if the company were UK resident, (c) the individual receives or becomes entitled to the distribution by virtue of being at a relevant time— (i) a material participator in the company, or (ii) an associate of a material participator in the company, and (d) ignoring this section, the individual— (i) is not liable for tax under this Chapter in respect of the distribution, but (ii) would have been so liable if the individual had received the distribution, or become entitled to it, in the period of return.

(5) If section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the individual for the year of return, any distribution within subsection (3) that is relevant foreign income and is remitted to the United Kingdom in the temporary period of non-residence is to be treated as remitted to the United Kingdom in the period of return. (6) In this section, “remitted to the United Kingdom” has the meaning given in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007.
138
In Chapter 1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (limits on liability to income tax of non-UK residents), after section 812 insert—

(2) The total income (see Step 1 of the calculation in section 23) on which the individual is charged to income tax for the year of return is to be increased by an amount equal to the amount of that relevant investment income. (3) But the notional UK tax on that relevant investment income is to be allowed as a credit against the individual's liability to income tax for the year of return under Step 6 of the calculation in section 23. (4) Income is “relevant investment income” if— (a) it is chargeable under Chapter 3 or 5 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (dividends etc from UK resident companies and stock dividends from UK resident companies), (b) the distributing company is a close company, and (c) the income arises or is treated as arising to the individual because the individual was at a relevant time— (i) a material participator in that company, or (ii) an associate of a material participator in the company. (5) But income within subsection (4) in the form of a cash or stock dividend is not “relevant investment income” to the extent that the dividend is paid, or the share capital is issued, in respect of post-departure trade profits. (6) “Post-departure trade profits” are— (a) trade profits of the distributing company arising in an accounting period that begins after the start of the temporary period of non-residence, and (b) so much of any trade profits of the distributing company arising in an accounting period that straddles the start of that temporary period as is attributable (on a just and reasonable basis) to a time after the start of that temporary period. (7) The “notional UK tax” on relevant investment income is— (a) the total of any sums in respect of that income that were included within amount A in determining the limit under section 811, less (b) any credit for foreign tax paid in respect of that income that was allowed under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of TIOPA 2010 against the individual's liability to income tax for the non-resident year. (8) The following matters are to be determined on a just and reasonable basis— (a) the extent to which a dividend is paid, or share capital is issued, in respect of post-departure trade profits, and (b) the extent to which a sum included within amount A is a sum in respect of relevant investment income. (9) Nothing in any double taxation arrangements is to be read as preventing the individual from being chargeable to income tax by virtue of this section (or as preventing a charge to that tax from arising as a result). (10) Part 4 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013 (statutory residence test: anti-avoidance) explains— (a) when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-resident”, and (b) what “the temporary period of non-residence”, “the year of departure” and “the period of return” mean.

(5) If the individual is liable by virtue of subsection (2) in respect of a gain— (a) the amount of the gain in respect of which he or she is liable is the amount on which tax would have been charged under this Chapter applying the assumptions in subsection (4), but (b) in determining that amount, section 528 must be applied ignoring those assumptions. (6) That amount is treated as income of the individual for the year of return. (7) If the gain arises from a policy or contract treated under section 473A as a single policy or contract, the date, for the purposes of subsection (3)(b), on which the insurance or contract is made is the date on which the first insurance is made in respect of which the connected policies were issued or, as the case may be, the date on which the first of the connected contracts is made.

(9) Nothing in any double taxation relief arrangements is to be read as preventing the individual from being liable for tax under this Chapter in respect of any gain in respect of which the individual is liable for tax by virtue of subsection (2) (or as preventing a charge to tax on that gain from arising under this Chapter). (10) Part 4 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013 (statutory residence test: anti-avoidance) explains— (a) when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-resident”, and (b) what “the temporary period of non-residence” and “the period of return” mean.
