Commentary on Sections

Part 5: Miscellaneous income

Chapter 2: Receipts from intellectual property
Section 578: Contents of Chapter

2259.This introductory section sets out the three income tax charges imposed by the Chapter. It is new.

2260.Subsection (2) contains a signpost to section 727 of this Act which provides for a limited exemption from income tax for annual payments made by individuals. So payments of royalties which are made by individuals and arise in the United Kingdom will be outside the scope of this section if the conditions in section 727 are met. This subsection also contains a signpost to section 758 of this Act which contains another exemption for certain interest and royalty payments.
