69 Trustees of settlements. U.K.

[F5 (1) For the purposes of this Act the trustees of a settlement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, together be treated as if they were a single person (distinct from the persons who are trustees of the settlement from time to time).

(2) The deemed person referred to in subsection (1) shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as resident F6 ... in the United Kingdom at any time when a condition in subsection (2A) or (2B) is satisfied.

(2A) Condition 1 is that all the trustees are resident in the United Kingdom.

(2B) Condition 2 is that—

(a) at least one trustee is resident in the United Kingdom,

(b) at least one is not resident in the United Kingdom, and

(c) a settlor in relation to the settlement was resident F7 ... or domiciled in the United Kingdom at a time which is a relevant time in relation to him.

(2C) In subsection (2B)(c) “relevant time” in relation to a settlor—

(a) means, where the settlement arose on the settlor's death (whether by will, intestacy or otherwise), the time immediately before his death, and

(b) in any other case, means a time when the settlor made the settlement (or was treated for the purposes of this Act as making the settlement);

and, in the case of a transfer of property from Settlement 1 to Settlement 2 in relation to which section 68B applies, “relevant time” in relation to a settlor of the transferred property in respect of Settlement 2 includes any time which, immediately before the time of the disposal by the trustees of Settlement 1, was a relevant time in relation to that settlor in respect of Settlement 1.

(2D) A trustee who is not resident in the United Kingdom shall be treated for the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B) as if he were resident in the United Kingdom at any time when he acts as trustee in the course of a business which he carries on in the United Kingdom through a branch, agency or permanent establishment there.

[F8 (2DA) A trustee who is resident in the United Kingdom for a tax year is to be treated for the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B) as if he or she were not resident in the United Kingdom for that year if—

(c) that year is a split year as respects the individual, and

(d) in that year, the only period when the individual is a trustee of the settlement falls wholly within the overseas part of the year.

(2DB) Subsection (2DA) is subject to subsection (2D) and, accordingly, an individual who is treated under subsection (2DA) as not resident is, in spite of that, to be regarded as resident whenever the individual acts as mentioned in subsection (2D).]

(2E) If the deemed person referred to in subsection (1) is not treated for the purposes of this Act as resident [F9 in the United Kingdom, then for the purposes of this Act it is treated as being not resident in the United Kingdom].]

(4) If tax assessed on the trustees, or any one trustee, of a settlement in respect of a chargeable gain accruing to the trustees is not paid within 6 months from the date when it becomes payable by the trustees or trustee, and before or after the expiration of that period of 6 months the asset in respect of which the chargeable gain accrued, or any part of the proceeds of sale of that asset, is transferred by the trustees to a person who as against the trustees is absolutely entitled to it, that person may at any time within 2 years from the time when the tax became payable be assessed and charged (in the name of the trustees) to an amount of capital gains tax not exceeding tax chargeable on an amount equal to the amount of the chargeable gain and, where part only of the asset or of the proceeds was transferred, not exceeding a proportionate part of that amount.

71 Person becoming absolutely entitled to settled property. U.K.

(1) On the occasion when a person becomes absolutely entitled to any settled property as against the trustee all the assets forming part of the settled property to which he becomes so entitled shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the trustee, and immediately reacquired by him in his capacity as a trustee within section 60(1), for a consideration equal to their market value.

[F12 (2) Where, in any case in which a person (“the beneficiary”) becomes absolutely entitled to any settled property as against the trustee, an allowable loss would (apart from this subsection) have accrued to the trustee on the deemed disposal under subsection (1) above of an asset comprised in that property—

(a) that loss shall be treated, to the extent only that it cannot be deducted from pre-entitlement gains of the trustee, as an allowable loss accruing to the beneficiary (instead of to the trustee); but

(b) any allowable loss treated as accruing to the beneficiary under this subsection shall be deductible under this Act from chargeable gains accruing to the beneficiary to the extent only that it can be deducted from gains accruing to the beneficiary on the disposal by him of—

(i) the asset on the deemed disposal of which the loss accrued; or

(ii) where that asset is an estate, interest or right in or over land, that asset or any asset deriving from that asset.

(2A) In subsection (2) above “pre-entitlement gain”, in relation to an allowable loss accruing to a trustee on the deemed disposal of any asset comprised in any settled property, means a chargeable gain accruing to that trustee on—

(a) a disposal which, on the occasion on which the beneficiary becomes absolutely entitled as against the trustee to that property, is deemed under subsection (1) above to have taken place; or

(b) any other disposal taking place before that occasion but in the same year of assessment.

(2B) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b)(ii) above an asset (“the relevant asset”) derives from another if, in a case where—

(a) assets have merged,

(b) an asset has divided or otherwise changed its nature, or

(c) different rights or interests in or over any asset have been created or extinguished at different times,

the value of the relevant asset is wholly or partly derived (through one or more successive events falling within paragraphs (a) to (c) above but not otherwise) from the other asset.

(2C) The rules set out in subsection (2D) below shall apply (notwithstanding any other rules contained in this Act or in section 113(2) of the Finance Act 1995 (order of deduction))—

(a) for determining for the purposes of this section whether an allowable loss accruing to the trustee, or treated as accruing to the beneficiary, can be deducted from particular chargeable gains for any year of assessment; and

(b) for the making of deductions of allowable losses from chargeable gains in cases where it has been determined that such an allowable loss can be deducted from particular chargeable gains.

(2D) Those rules are as follows—

(a) allowable losses accruing to the trustee on a deemed disposal under subsection (1) above shall be deducted before any deduction is made in respect of any other allowable losses accruing to the trustee in that year;

(b) allowable losses treated as accruing to the beneficiary under this section, so far as they cannot be deducted in a year of assessment as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above, may be carried forward from year to year until they can be so deducted; and

(c) allowable losses treated as accruing to the beneficiary for any year of assessment under this section, and allowable losses carried forward to any year of assessment under paragraph (b) above—

(i) shall be deducted before any deduction is made in respect of any allowable losses accruing to the beneficiary in that year otherwise than by virtue of this section; and

(ii) in the case of losses carried forward to any year, shall be deductible as if they were losses actually accruing in that year.]

(3) References in this section to the case where a person becomes absolutely entitled to settled property as against the trustee shall be taken to include references to the case where a person would become so entitled but for being an infant or other person under disability.

(4) Where, in the case of any entitlement to an annuity created by a settlement some of the settled property is appropriated by the trustees as a fund out of which the annuity is payable, and there is no right of recourse to, or to the income of, settled property not so appropriated, then without prejudice to subsection (5) below, the settled property so appropriated shall, while the annuity is payable, and on the occasion of the death of the person entitled to the annuity, be treated for the purposes of this section as being settled property under a separate settlement.]

(5) If there is [F19 an] interest in a part of the settled property and, where that is [F19 an] interest in income, there is no right of recourse to, or to the income of, the remainder of the settled property, the part of the settled property in which the F20 ... interest subsists shall while it subsists be treated for the purposes of this section as being settled property under a separate settlement.

[F85 86A Attribution of gains to settlor [F84 where temporarily non-resident] U.K.

(1) Subsection (3) applies if—

(a) chargeable gains of an amount equal to the amount referred to in section 86(1)(e) for a tax year (“year A”) are treated under [F86 section 1M(3)] as accruing to a settlor under section 86 in the period of return,

(b) there are amounts on which[F87 , in the case of the settlement, individuals] are charged to tax under section 87[F88 , 87K, 87L] or 89(2) for one or more tax years, each of which is earlier than the year of return, and

(c) those amounts are in respect of matched capital payments received F89 ... .

(2) A “matched” capital payment is a capital payment, all or part of which is matched under section 87A with [F90 the section 1(3) amount] for year A.

(3) The amount of the chargeable gains mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for year A that are treated under [F91 section 1M(3)] as accruing to the settlor under section 86 in the period of return is to be reduced by the appropriate amount.

(4) The appropriate amount is—

(a) the sum of the amounts mentioned in subsection (1)(c) to the extent that the matched capital payments are matched under section 87A with [F92 the section 1(3) amount] for year A, or

(b) if the property comprised in the settlement has at any time included property not originating from the settlor, so much (if any) of that sum as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is properly referable to the settlor.

(5) If a reduction falls to be made under subsection (3) for the year of return, the deduction to be made in accordance with section 87(4)(b) for the settlement for that year must not be made until—

(a) all the reductions to be made under subsection (3) for that year for each settlor have been made, and

(b) those reductions are to be made starting with the year immediately preceding the year of return and working backwards.

(6) Subsection (7) applies if, with respect to year A, an amount remains to be treated under [F93 section 1M(3)] as accruing to any of the settlors in the period of return after having made the reductions under subsection (3) with respect to year A.

(7) The aggregate of the amounts remaining to be so treated (for all of the settlors) is to be applied in reducing so much of [F94 the section 1(3) amount] for year A as has not already been matched with a capital payment under section 87A for any year prior to the year of return (but not so as to reduce [F94 the section 1(3) amount] below zero).

(8) In this section—

(a) “the settlement” means the settlement in relation to which the settlor mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is a settlor,

(b) a reference to “the settlors” or “each settlor” is to the settlors or each settlor in relation to the settlement,

(c) “period of return” and “year of return” have the same meanings as in [F95 section 1M(3)], and

(d) paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 applies in construing the reference to property originating from the settlor.]

[F96 87A Section 87: matching U.K.

(1) This section supplements section 87.

(2) The following steps are to be taken for the purposes of matching capital payments [F108 with section 1(3) amounts].

• Step 1

  Find [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year.

• Step 2

  Find the total amount of capital payments received by the beneficiaries from the trustees in the relevant tax year.

• Step 3

  [F109 The section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year is matched with—

  (a)

  if the total amount of capital payments received in the relevant tax year does not exceed [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year, each capital payment so received, and

  (b)

  otherwise, the relevant proportion of each of those capital payments.

  “The relevant proportion” is [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year divided by the total amount of capital payments received in the relevant tax year.

• Step 4

  If paragraph (a) of Step 3 applies—

  (a)

  reduce [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year by the total amount of capital payments referred to there, and

  (b)

  reduce the amount of those capital payments to nil.

  If paragraph (b) of that Step applies—

  (a)

  reduce [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year to nil, and

  (b)

  reduce the amount of each of the capital payments referred to there by the relevant proportion of that capital payment.

• Step 5

  Start again at Step 1 (unless subsection (3) applies).

  If [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year (as reduced under Step 4) is not nil, read references to capital payments received in the relevant tax year as references to capital payments received in the latest tax year which—

  (a)

  is before the last tax year for which Steps 1 to 4 have been undertaken, and

  (b)

  is a tax year in which capital payments (the amounts of which have not been reduced to nil) were received by beneficiaries.

  If [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year (as so reduced) is nil, read references to [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the relevant tax year as [F109 the section 1(3) amount] for the latest tax year—

  (a)

  which is before the last tax year for which Steps 1 to 4 have been undertaken, and

  (b)

  for which [F109 the section 1(3) amount] is not nil.

(3) This subsection applies if—

(a) all of the capital payments received by beneficiaries from the trustees in the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year have been reduced to nil, or

(b) [F110 the section 1(3) amounts] for the relevant tax year and all earlier tax years have been reduced to nil.

(5) Where, in the case of a settlement, any tax is chargeable on the settlor as a result of this section and is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the full amount of the tax from the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (3)(a), as the case may be.

but where (by virtue of the preceding provisions of this subsection and apart from this provision) a participator would be treated as receiving less than one-twentieth of the payment actually received by the company, he shall not be treated as receiving anything by virtue of this subsection.
