Finance Act 2013

PART 3 U.K. Split year treatment

Introduction U.K.

39 U.K. This Part of this Schedule—

(a) explains when, as respects an individual, a tax year is a split year,

(b) defines the overseas part and the UK part of a split year, and

(c) amends certain enactments to provide for special charging rules in cases involving split years.

40 (1) The effect of a tax year being a split year is to relax the effect of paragraph 2(3) (which treats individuals who are UK resident “for” a tax year as being UK resident at all times in that year). U.K.

(2) When and how the effect of paragraph 2(3) is relaxed is defined in the special charging rules introduced by the amendments made by this Part.

(3) Subject to those special charging rules (and any other special charging rules for split years that may be introduced in the future), nothing in this Part alters an individual's residence status for a tax year or affects his or her liability to tax.

41 U.K. This Part—

(a) does not apply in determining the residence status of personal representatives, and

(b) applies to only a limited extent in determining the residence status of the trustees of a settlement (see section 475 of ITA 2007 and section 69 of TCGA 1992, as amended by this Part).

42 U.K. The existence of special charging rules for cases involving split years is not intended to affect any question as to whether an individual would fall to be regarded under double taxation arrangements as a resident of the UK.

Definition of a “split year” U.K.

43 (1) As respects an individual, a tax year is a “split year” if— U.K.

(a) the individual is resident in the UK for that year, and

(b) the circumstances of the case fall within—

(i) Case 1, Case 2 or Case 3 (cases involving actual or deemed departure from the UK), or

(ii) Case 4, Case 5, Case 6, Case 7 or Case 8 (cases involving actual or deemed arrival in the UK).

(2) The 8 Cases are described in paragraphs 44 to 51.

(3) In those paragraphs, the individual is referred to as “the taxpayer” and the tax year as “the relevant year”.

(4) In applying Part 2 of this Schedule to those paragraphs, for “P” read “the taxpayer”.

Case 1: starting full-time work overseas U.K.

44 (1) The circumstances of a case fall within Case 1 if they are as described in sub-paragraphs (2) to (4). U.K.

(2) The taxpayer was resident in the UK for the previous tax year (whether or not it was a split year).

(3) There is at least one period (consisting of one or more days) that—

(a) begins with a day that—

(i) falls within the relevant year, and

(ii) is a day on which the taxpayer does more than 3 hours' work overseas,

(b) ends with the last day of the relevant year, and

(c) satisfies the overseas work criteria.

(4) The taxpayer is not resident in the UK for the next tax year because the taxpayer meets the third automatic overseas test for that year (see paragraph 14).

(5) A period “satisfies the overseas work criteria” if—

(a) the taxpayer works sufficient hours overseas, as assessed over that period,

(b) during that period, there are no significant breaks from overseas work,

(c) the number of days in that period on which the taxpayer does more than 3 hours' work in the UK does not exceed the permitted limit, and

(d) the number of days in that period falling within sub-paragraph (6) does not exceed the permitted limit.

(6) A day falls within this sub-paragraph if—

(a) it is a day spent by the taxpayer in the UK, but

(b) it is not a day that is treated under paragraph 23(4) as a day spent by the taxpayer in the UK.

(7) To work out whether the taxpayer works “sufficient hours overseas” as assessed over a given period, apply paragraph 14(3) but with the following modifications—

(a) for “P” read “the taxpayer”,

(b) for “year X” read “the period under consideration”,

(c) for “365 (or 366 if year X includes 29 February)” read “the number of days in the period under consideration”, and

(d) in paragraph 28(9)(b), as it applies for the purposes of step 3, for “30” read “the permitted limit”.

(8) The permitted limit is—

(a) for sub-paragraphs (5)(c) and (7)(d), the number found by reducing 30 by the appropriate number, and

(b) for sub-paragraph (5)(d), the number found by reducing 90 by the appropriate number.

(9) The appropriate number is the result of—

where—

“A” is—

(a)

30, for sub-paragraphs (5)(c) and (7)(d), or

(b)

90, for sub-paragraph (5)(d), and

(b) the number of days that the taxpayer spends in the UK does not exceed the permitted limit.

(6) The taxpayer is not resident in the UK for the next tax year.

(7) If sub-paragraph (3)(a) applies, the “deemed departure day” is the later of—

(a) the day mentioned in sub-paragraph (4), and

(b) the first day of what is, for the partner, the overseas part of the relevant year as defined for Case 1 (see paragraph 53).

(8) If sub-paragraph (3)(b) applies, the “deemed departure day” is the day mentioned in sub-paragraph (4).

(9) The permitted limit is the number found by reducing 90 by the appropriate number.

(10) The appropriate number is the result of—

(8) Sub-paragraph (6)(a) does not apply to the references to year X in paragraphs 32(1)(b) and 33 of this Schedule (which relate to the residence status of family members) so those references must continue to be read as references to year X.
