112 Partnerships controlled abroad.U.K.
[F1M1(1)So long as a trade, profession or business is carried on by persons in partnership and any of those persons is not resident in the United Kingdom, section 111 shall have effect for the purposes of income tax in relation to the partner who is not so resident as if—
(a)the reference in subsection (2)(b) to an individual resident in the United Kingdom were a reference to an individual who is not so resident; and
(b)in subsection (4)(a), after “carried on” there were inserted “in the United Kingdom”.
(1A)Where—
(a)any persons are carrying on a trade, profession or business in partnership,
(b)the trade, profession or business is carried on wholly or partly outside the United Kingdom,
(c)the control and management of the trade, profession or business is situated outside the United Kingdom, and
(d)any of the partners who is an individual resident in the United Kingdom satisfies the Board that he is not domiciled in the United Kingdom or that, being a Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, he is not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom,
section 111 shall have effect in accordance with subsection (1) above as if that partner were not resident in the United Kingdom and, in addition (as respects that partner as an individual who is in fact resident in the United Kingdom), his interest as a partner, so far as it entitles him to a share of any profits or gains arising from the carrying on of the trade, profession or business otherwise than within the United Kingdom, shall be treated for the purposes of Case V of Schedule D as if it were a possession outside the United Kingdom.
(1B)Where any persons are carrying on a trade or profession in partnership, the trade or profession is carried on wholly or partly outside the United Kingdom and an individual who is one of the partners changes his residence (within the meaning of section 110A), it shall be assumed for income tax purposes—
(a)that that individual ceased to be a partner at the time of the change and became one again immediately afterwards; and
(b)in relation to matters arising after the change, that the time when he became a partner is the time immediately after the change;
but nothing in this subsection shall, in relation to that individual, prevent any portion of a loss sustained before the change from being carried forward under section 385 and set against profits or gains arising or accruing after the change.]
(4)In any case where—
(a)a person resident in the United Kingdom (in this subsection and subsection (5) below referred to as “the resident partner”) is a member of a partnership which resides [F2outside the United Kingdom or which carries on any trade, profession or business the control and management of which is situated outside the United Kingdom]; and
(b)by virtue of any arrangements falling within section 788 any of the income or capital gains of the partnership is relieved from tax in the United Kingdom,
the arrangements referred to in paragraph (b) above shall not affect any liability to tax in respect of the resident partner’s share of any income or capital gains of the partnership.
(5)If, in a case where subsection (4) above applies, the resident partner’s share of the income of the partnership consists of or includes a share in a qualifying distribution made by a company resident in the United Kingdom, then, notwithstanding anything in the arrangements, the resident partner (and not the partnership as a whole) shall be regarded as entitled to that share of the tax credit in respect of the distribution which corresponds to his share of the distribution.
(6)Section 115(5) has effect as respects the application of [F3subsections (4) and (5) above] where the partners in a partnership include a company.
