Section 835K: Lloyd’s agents
1212.This section provides that a person in the United Kingdom who has acted as the members’ agent of a non-UK resident member of Lloyd’s or as the managing agent of the syndicate of which the non-UK resident was a member is not a UK representative of the non-UK resident in relation to income of the non-UK resident from the non-UK resident’s underwriting business at Lloyd’s. It is based on section 127(1) and (16) of FA 1995.
1213.The reference in section 127(16)(a) of FA 1995 to a corporate member of Lloyd’s within the meaning of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of FA 1994 has been omitted. Corporate members of Lloyd’s are chargeable to corporation tax. Following the amendment of section 126 of FA 1995 by FA 2003 so that it ceased to apply for corporation tax purposes, the reference is unnecessary. Similarly the provision in section 127(16)(b) of FA 1995 construing members’ agent and managing agent (in relation to corporate members of Lloyd’s) in accordance with section 230 of FA 1994 has been omitted.
