Corporation Tax Act 2009

Section 1274: Unremittable income: introduction

3260.This section defines unremittable income and sets out the circumstances in which this Part applies. It is based on section 584(1) of ICTA. The corresponding rule for income tax is in section 841 of ITTOIA.

3261.The source legislation refers to “foreign currency”. This means a currency other than the currency of the territory in question. Since the local currency must be obtainable, it is superfluous to add that currency not obtainable is ‘foreign’.

3262.Condition A for unremittable income refers to the impossibility of obtaining currency in the territory in question and makes explicit that this means currency that could be transferred to the United Kingdom (whether the currency of that or another territory). See Change 90 in Annex 1.

3263.The requirement in the source legislation, that the inability to transfer the income to the United Kingdom is not due to any want of reasonable endeavours on the part of the claimant, is omitted. See again Change 90 in Annex 1.
