Section 614: Charge to tax on certain telecommunication rights of a non-trader
2373.This section charges to tax income from telecommunication rights arising to a non-trader. It is based on Schedule D Cases III, V and VI, section 18(1) and (3) of ICTA, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 23 to FA 2000.
2374.If the rights are acquired for pure investment purposes and the licensor does not undertake to provide any extra services, ICTA charges the profits to tax under Schedule D Case III as an annual payment (or under Schedule D Case V in the unlikely event that the source is outside the United Kingdom).
2375.If the licensor undertakes to provide services that do not amount to a trade, ICTA charges the profits under Schedule D Case VI (or under Schedule D Case V if the source is outside the United Kingdom).
