(a) is subject to subsection (3) and section 87E, and

(b) does not affect the operation of sections 87I to 87L (see, in particular, sections 87K(2) and 87L(2) which apply sections 87 and 87A by reference to the payment mentioned in section 87I(1)(a)).

(2) A capital payment is within this subsection if (and to the extent that) it is in a tax year received from the trustees of the settlement by a beneficiary who at all times in that year is not resident in the United Kingdom, but this is subject to section 87F.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a capital payment (or a part of a capital payment) if—

(c) the payment (or part) is received in the beneficiary's temporary period of non-residence,

(2) Part 4 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013 explains—

(i) as a beneficiary of the settlement (whether or not the settlor is otherwise a beneficiary of the settlement), and

(ii) at the time it was received by the original recipient, and

(b) was not received by the original recipient.

(3) Where any tax is chargeable on the settlor as a result of subsection (2) and is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the full amount of the tax from the original recipient.

(4) For the purpose of recovering that amount, the settlor is entitled to require an officer of Revenue and Customs to give the settlor a certificate specifying—

(a) the amount of tax paid, and

(b) the amount of the gains on which the tax is paid,

and any such certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.

87H Meaning of “close member of the settlor's family”

(b) a slice (“U”) consisting of the untaxed part (if any) of each matched amount (if any), and

(c) a slice (“R”) consisting of the rest (if any) of the original payment.

(2) For the purposes of this section, if all or part of the original payment is, in a tax year (“the matching year”) not later than the gift year, matched under section 87A with the section 2(2) amount for the matching year or any earlier tax year, so much of the original payment as is so matched is a “matched amount”.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), if—

(a) as a result of there being a matched amount, gains are treated by section 87 as accruing to the otherwise-liable person,

(b) the otherwise-liable person is resident in the United Kingdom for the matching year, and

(c) none of sections 809B, 809D and 809E of ITA 2007 applies to the otherwise-liable person for the matching year,

the whole of the matched amount is its “taxed part” (and it has no “untaxed part”).

(4) For the purposes of subsection (1), if—

(a) as a result of there being a matched amount, gains are treated by section 87 as accruing to the otherwise-liable person,

(b) section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the otherwise-liable person for the matching year, and

(c) the whole or part of those gains is remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year—

(i) that is not later than the gift year, and

(ii) in which the otherwise-liable person is resident in the United Kingdom,

so much of the matched amount as is equal to so much of the gains as is remitted as mentioned in paragraph (c) is the matched amount's “taxed part”, and the rest of the matched amount is its “untaxed part”.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (1), if all or part of the original payment is in a tax year (“the pool-matching year”) not later than the gift year matched, under section 87A as applied by paragraph 8 of Schedule 4C, with the section 2(2) amount in the Schedule 4C pool for the pool-matching year or any earlier tax year—

(a) so much of the original payment as is so matched is a “matched amount”, and

(b) the whole of the matched amount is its “taxed part” (and it has no “untaxed part”).

87K Attribution of gains or payments to recipient of onward gift

(1) Where this section applies (see section 87I), G is—

(a) the amount or value of so much of the onward payment as is within any of sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of section 87I(1)(d), or

(b) if lower, the amount of the original payment.

(For the meaning of R and U, see section 87J.)

(2) If R is greater than nil, sections 87 and 87A have effect for the gift year and later tax years—

(a) as if a capital payment was received from the trustees by the subsequent recipient—

(i) as a beneficiary of the settlement (whether or not the subsequent recipient is otherwise a beneficiary of the settlement), and

(ii) at the time the subsequent recipient received the onward payment,

(b) as if that capital payment consisted of—

(i) R, if G is greater than R, or

(ii) so much of R as is equal to G, if G is not greater than R, and

(c) as if so much of the original payment as is equal to that capital payment was not received by the otherwise-liable person.

(3) If G is greater than R, and if U is greater than nil—

(a) chargeable gains are treated as accruing to the subsequent recipient in the gift year (but see section 87L(3) and (4)),

(b) the amount of those gains is—

(i) U, if (G − R) is greater than U, or

(ii) so much of U as is equal to (G − R), if (G − R) is not greater than U, and

(c) the chargeable gains treated by section 87 as accruing to the otherwise-liable person by reason of the original payment are treated as from the end of the gift year as reduced by that amount, with that reduction being made from so much of those gains as has not by then been remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year in which the otherwise-liable person is resident in the United Kingdom.

(4) If this section applies by reference to the original payment also in relation to a gift received from the original beneficiary in a tax year earlier than the gift year, this section applies in relation to the onward payment as if—

(a) the amount given by section 87J for R were reduced by the amount of any capital payment given by subsection (2) in relation to that earlier year, and

(b) the amount given by section 87J for U were reduced by the amount of any gains given by subsection (3) in relation to that earlier year.

(c) the person mentioned in paragraph (a) is a close member of the settlor's family (see section 87H) at the time of receipt.

(ii) at the time of receipt, and

(b) was not received by the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a).

(c) the subsequent recipient is a close member of the settlor's family when the subsequent recipient receives the onward payment (see section 87I(1)(c)) by reference to which the chargeable gains are treated as accruing.

(4) Section 87K(3)(a) has effect as if its reference to the subsequent recipient were a reference to the settlor, and references (however expressed) to chargeable gains treated as accruing by this section are to chargeable gains treated by section 87K(3)(a) as accruing to the settlor as a result of the operation of this subsection.

(5) Where, in the case of a settlement, any tax is chargeable on the settlor as a result of this section and is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the full amount of the tax from the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (3)(a), as the case may be.

(6) For the purpose of recovering that amount, the settlor is entitled to require an officer of Revenue and Customs to give the settlor a certificate specifying—

(3) The rules in subsection (4) apply where—

(a) in the case of a settlement, chargeable gains are (ignoring this section) treated by section 87K(3), but not as a result of the operation of section 87L(4), as accruing to a person in a tax year by reference to a gift within section 87I(1)(d) made to the person,

(b) section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 applies to the person for that tax year, and

643A Deemed income because of benefits for settlor or close family member

(1) If an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (see section 643B), an amount equal to so much of that total as does not exceed the settlement's available protected income up to the end of the year (see section 643C) is—

(2) Subsections (3) and (4) apply if—

(1) For the purposes of section 643A, whether an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (“the current year”), and (if so) its amount, are determined as follows—

  (a)

  when the individual is not relevantly domiciled, and

  (b)

  in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

  If the individual is not the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—

  (a)

  when the individual is a close member of the settlor's family (see section 643H), and

  (b)

  in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

• Step 2 Identify the amount or value of each benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1, and calculate the total of those amounts and values.

• Step 3 Take the total calculated at Step 2 and deduct from it the following—

  (a)

  any part of it on which the individual is liable to income tax otherwise than under section 643A,

  (b)

  any income treated by section 643A, 643J or 643L as arising, to a person for a tax year earlier than the current year, by reference to any of the benefits identified in the individual's case at Step 1,

  where the whole or part of a benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1 is taken into account in charging income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007, the amount or value of so much of the benefit as is taken into account in doing that, and

  (d)

  any amount required to be deducted by section 643D(2) (gains treated as accruing in a year before the current year).

• Step 4 If the result of the calculation at Step 3 is an amount greater than nil, that amount is the individual's untaxed benefits total for the settlement for the current year.

(2) For the purposes of Step 1 in subsection (1), an individual is “relevantly domiciled” at any time if at that time—

(a) the individual is domiciled in the United Kingdom, or

(b) the individual is regarded for the purposes of section 809(1)(b) of ITA 2007 as domiciled in the United Kingdom as a result of section 835BA of ITA 2007 having effect because of Condition A in that section being met.

(b) the income, before being distributed, is the income of a person other than the trustees,

a benefit is for the purposes of subsection (4)(a) treated as provided by the trustees and is for the purposes of subsection (5)(a) treated as provided by the trustees to the person.

(7) A benefit treated as provided by subsection (6) is treated—

(a) as consisting of the income mentioned in that subsection, but after any reduction in accordance with Chapter 8 of Part 9 of ITA 2007 for trustees' expenses, and

(b) as provided at the time that income arises.
