Commentary on Sections

Part 4: Savings and investment income

Chapter 8: Profits from deeply discounted securities
Section 428: Income charged

1733.This section sets out the amount charged to tax on profits that arise on a disposal of securities that are within or outside the United Kingdom. It is based on sections 64, 65 and 68 of ICTA and on paragraph 1 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996.

1734.Paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 provides that profits arising from a security out of the United Kingdom are chargeable under Schedule D Case IV. This allows the assessment rules for Case IV income in section 65 of ICTA to apply.

1735.Subsection (3)(a) treats such profits as arising from a source outside the United Kingdom. This links to the definition of “relevant foreign income” in section 830, thus attracting the special rules for such income in Part 8 of this Act.

1736.Subsection (3)(b) then makes the rule in subsection (1) subject to the rules in Part 8 of this Act for such profits.
