Section 946: Payments within this section
2897.This section sets out which payments are subject to the collection mechanism described in this Chapter. It is based on sections 350, 477A(1) and 480A of, and Schedules 16 and 23A to, ICTA and regulation 10 of the building society regulations.
2898.As part of the alignment of the building society and deposit-taker regimes for deduction of tax at source, various regulations in the building society regulations are enacted. See Change 126 in Annex 1 and the overview commentary on Chapter 2 of this Part.
2899.Under the provisions of this Act, tax deducted from certain annual payments and other patent royalty payments made by individuals will be collected through the individual’s self-assessment return (see Chapter 17 of this Part), rather than by direct assessment (see Chapter 16 of this Part, based on section 350(1) of ICTA). See in particular the commentary on section 900. As a result, where such payments are made by companies on behalf of individuals they will not be subject to collection under the provisions of this Chapter. See Change 81 in Annex 1 and the overview commentary on Chapter 4 of Part 8 of this Act.
2900.Because the source legislation links into the collection requirements of section 350 of ICTA, this provision is affected by the removal of the charge to income tax in section 350(1) of ICTA. See Change 147 in Annex 1 and the commentary on section 963.
