Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

Section 847: General provisions

3154.This section introduces the concept of a “firm”. It is based on section 111 of ICTA.

3155.Subsection (2) adopts the same approach as the trading income Part of this Act. Most of the Chapters in the trading income Part of the Act have a rule that the trading income rules apply to professions and vocations as they apply to trades. The rules themselves refer only to trades. The sections in this Part refer to trades. They apply also to professions (but not to vocations, which cannot be carried on in partnership). Paragraph (a) of the subsection ensures that there is no need to repeat the phrase “trade or profession”. If the firm has other income, there are special rules for assessing it. The sections then have to deal with businesses other than trades or professions - paragraph (b) caters for that possibility.
