244CExclusion: [F2receiving scheme in EEA state [F3or Gibraltar], and member resident in UK or EEA state]U.K.

(1)This section applies to a transfer to a QROPS established in an EEA state [F4or Gibraltar].

(2)If the transfer is a recognised transfer, the transfer is excluded from the overseas transfer charge if during the relevant period—

(a)the member is resident in [F5a relevant territory] (whether or not the [F6same relevant territory] throughout that period), and

(b)there is no onward transfer—

(i)for which the recognised transfer is the original transfer, and

(ii)which is not excluded from the charge.

(3)If the member is resident in [F5a relevant territory] at the time of the recognised transfer mentioned in subsection (2), it is to be assumed for the purposes of this section that the member will be resident in [F5a relevant territory] during the relevant period; but if, at a time before the end of the relevant period, the transfer ceases to be excluded by subsection (2) otherwise than by reason of the member's death—

(a)that assumption is from that time no longer to be made, and

(b)the charge on the transfer is treated as charged at that time.

(4)If the transfer is an onward transfer (“transfer B”), the transfer is excluded from the overseas transfer charge if during so much of the relevant period as is after the time of the onward transfer—

(a)the member is resident in [F5a relevant territory] (whether or not the [F7same relevant territory] at all those times), and

(b)there is no subsequent onward transfer that—

(i)is of sums and assets which, in whole or part, directly or indirectly derive from those transferred by transfer B, and

(ii)is not excluded from the charge.

(5)If the member is resident in [F5a relevant territory] at the time of transfer B, it is to be assumed for the purposes of subsection (4) that the member will be resident in [F5a relevant territory] during so much of the relevant period as is after the time of transfer B; but if, at a time before the end of the relevant period, the transfer ceases to be excluded by subsection (4) otherwise than by reason of the member's death—

(a)that assumption is from that time no longer to be made, and

(b)the charge on transfer B is treated as charged at that time.]
