Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003

22Chargeable overseas earnings for year when employee resident and ordinarily resident, but not domiciled, in UK
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)This section applies to general earnings for a tax year in which the employee is resident and ordinarily resident, but not domiciled, in the United Kingdom to the extent that the earnings are chargeable overseas earnings for that year.

(2)The full amount of any general earnings within subsection (1) which are remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year is an amount of “taxable earnings” from the employment in that year.

(3)Subsection (2) applies—

(a)whether the earnings are for that year or for some other tax year, and

(b)whether or not the employment is held at the time when the earnings are remitted;

but that subsection has effect subject to any relief given under section 35 (delayed remittances: claim for relief).

(4)Section 23 applies for calculating how much of an employee’s general earnings are “chargeable overseas earnings” for a tax year, and are therefore within subsection (1) rather than section 21(1).

(5)Where any chargeable overseas earnings are taxable earnings under subsection (2), any deduction taken into account under section 23(3) in calculating the amount of the chargeable overseas earnings—

(a)cannot then be deducted under section 11 from those taxable earnings, but

(b)may be deducted under that section from any taxable earnings under section 21.
