Income Tax Act 2007

Section 643: Non-residents

1896.This section excludes persons who are non-UK residents or are not ordinarily UK resident from the accrued income scheme. It is based on section 715(1)(f) and (2)(b) of ICTA.

1897.In practice it would be very difficult to apply the scheme to such non-residents consistently. While non-residents could take the benefit of relief for accrued income losses to get repayments of tax suffered if tax is deducted at source, it would be difficult to enforce the charge to tax on accrued income profits.

1898.Subsections (2) to (4) ensure that non-residents who trade in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency are not excluded from the scheme by subsection (1) if the securities are situated in the United Kingdom and are used or held for the purposes of the branch or agency (such non-residents may still be excluded by section 642).
