This Chapter contains tax provision in connection with—

Section 24 contains provision as to the making of claims for special tax treatment under this Chapter.

Sections 25 to 29 contain provision relating to income tax.

Sections 30 to 32 contain provision relating to capital gains tax.

Sections 34 to 36 apply for the purpose of determining whether trusts on which property is held for the benefit of a vulnerable person are qualifying trusts.

In this Chapter “vulnerable person election” means an election under section 37.

In this Chapter “vulnerable person” means—

This section has effect in relation to a tax year if—

Special income tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with sections 26 to 29.

But this section does not have effect in relation to the tax year if the property from which the qualifying trusts income arises (or is treated as arising) is property in which a person who is a settlor (within the meaning given by section 620(1) of ITTOIA 2005) is regarded as having an interest for the purposes of sections 624 and 625 of that Act (income arising under settlement where settlor retains an interest).

The trustees' liability to income tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to— where— TQTI is an amount determined in accordance with section 27 (income tax liability of trustees in respect of qualifying trusts income), and VQTI is an amount determined in accordance with section 28 (extra income tax to which vulnerable person would be liable if qualifying trusts income were income of his).

The tax reduction is given effect at Step 6 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007.

For the purposes of section 26, TQTI is the amount of income tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to them in that year (or to which they would be so liable if their liability were computed in accordance with subsection (2) in a case to which that subsection applies).

In a case where— there shall be disregarded, in computing the income tax liability of the trustees for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to them in that year, such part of the allowable expenses as bears the same proportion to all those expenses as other income bears to total income.

This section is subject to section 29 (vulnerable person election having effect for only part of tax year).

References in subsection (2) to allowable expenses are to expenses which can be set against the total income in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 9 of ITA 2007.

For the purposes of section 26, VQTI is an amount equal to— where— TLV2 is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) (and subsection (4) where it applies) (total income tax liability of vulnerable person), and TLV1 is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) (and subsection (4) where it applies) (what total income tax liability of vulnerable person would be if his income included qualifying trusts income).

TLV2 is the total amount of income tax ... to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year if his income tax liability were computed in accordance with subsections (5) and (6).

TLV1 is what TLV2 would be if the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the tax year in respect of which the trustees are liable to income tax were income of the vulnerable person for the tax year.

Where the vulnerable person is non-UK resident for the tax year, his or her income tax liability for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2 is to be computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts on the assumption that—

For the purposes of this section, in a case where income which has arisen to the trustees (whenever it arose) is distributed to the vulnerable person in the tax year, that income is to be disregarded in computing income tax to which he would be liable for the tax year for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2.

For the purposes of this section, in computing income tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2, there is to be disregarded any relief which is given by way of a reduction in the amount of income tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable apart from that relief.

For the purposes of this section—

This section is subject to section 29 (vulnerable person election having effect for only part of tax year).

Where the vulnerable person election has effect for only part of the tax year (“the elected part of the tax year”) sections 26, 27 and 28 apply with the modifications in subsection (2).

Those modifications are—

This section applies if in a year of assessment—

Special capital gains tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with this section if the vulnerable person is UK resident for the tax year.

The trustees' liability to capital gains tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to— where— TQTG is the amount of capital gains tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trust gains, and VQTG is the amount arrived at under subsection (3).

That amount is— where— TLVB is the total amount of capital gains tax to which the vulnerable person is liable for the tax year, and TL VA is what TLVB would be if the qualifying trust gains accrued to the vulnerable person (instead of to the trustees) and no allowable losses were deducted from the qualifying trust gains.

Special capital gains tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with this section if the vulnerable person is non-UK resident for the tax year.

The trustees' liability to capital gains tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to— where— TQTG is the amount of capital gains tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts gains, and VQTG is the amount arrived at under subsection (3).

That amount is— where— TLVB is the total amount of capital gains tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year if the vulnerable person's taxable amount for the tax year ... were equal to the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year (if any), and TL VA is what TLVB would be if the vulnerable person's taxable amount for the tax year ... were equal to the aggregate of the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year (if any) and the amount of the qualifying trust gains.

For the purposes of this section “the vulnerable person’s taxable amount for the tax year” means the amount on which that person would be chargeable to capital gains tax for the tax year if no account were taken of section 1K of TCGA 1992.

For the purposes of this section the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year is to be determined in accordance with Schedule 1.

For the purposes of section 32, VQTG is an amount equal to— where— TLVB is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) (total tax liability of vulnerable person), and TLVA is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) (what total tax liability of vulnerable person would be if it included tax in respect of notional section 77 gains).

TLVB is the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year—

TLVA is what TLVB would be if the vulnerable person’s taxable amount for the tax year for the purposes of section 3 of TCGA 1992 were equal to the sum of the amount mentioned in subsection (2)(b) and his notional section 77 gains for the tax year.

For the purposes of this section— are to be determined in accordance with Schedule 1.

This section applies where—

C is to be treated for corporation tax purposes as receiving, in the relevant period in which C entered into the deferred income agreement, an amount of income from the relevant trade equal to the net excess relief.

For the purposes of this section— and an agreement, or part of an agreement, is to be regarded as designed to secure the receipt by C of an amount (or at least an amount) if it was designed to secure the receipt of that amount (or at least that amount) by another person and C is that person’s successor under the agreement.

This section is deemed to have come into force on 2nd December 2004.

This section applies where a chargeable event occurs in relation to C by virtue of section 66 and the exit event in question is exit event X or Y.

C is to be treated for corporation tax purposes as receiving, immediately before the exit event, an amount of income from the relevant trade equal to the chargeable amount.

Where the exit event is exit event X, an amount equal to the chargeable amount is to be treated for corporation tax purposes as a loss of the relevant trade brought forward under section 393 of ICTA (relief of trading losses against future trading profits) to the exit accounting period.

But that loss may only be set off against income which— and, in particular, may not be set off against the income which C is treated as receiving under subsection (2) by virtue of the exit event.

The “chargeable amount” is the value immediately before the exit event of the rights to guaranteed income under the guaranteed income agreement calculated in accordance with section 70.

Any income received in, or losses brought forward to, an accounting period by virtue of this section are in addition to any other income received in, or losses brought forward to, that period.

In this section “exit accounting period” means the accounting period of C in which the exit event occurs.

This section is deemed to have come into force on 2nd December 2004.

This section applies for the purposes of— section 66(4)(c) (definition of exit event Z), section 69 (consequences of a chargeable event: exit event Z), and section 70 (valuation of the “disposed rights”).

A “relevant disposal” means a disposal by C directly or indirectly to a third party (“TP>”) of rights to guaranteed income under the guaranteed income agreement.

The “disposed rights” are the rights to guaranteed income under the guaranteed income agreement which are the object of the relevant disposal.

A relevant disposal is at an undervalue where the amount of the disposal consideration (“V1”) is less than the value of the disposed rights immediately before the disposal calculated in accordance with section 70 (“V2”).

It does not matter whether the disposed rights are disposed of alone or as part of a larger disposal.

Where the disposed rights are disposed of as part of a larger disposal, the amount of the disposal consideration for the larger disposal which is attributable to the relevant disposal is to be determined on such basis as is just and reasonable.

In this section—

This section is deemed to have come into force on 2nd December 2004.

This section applies where a chargeable event occurs in relation to C by virtue of section 66 and the exit event in question is exit event Z.

C is to be treated for corporation tax purposes as receiving, immediately before the exit event, an amount of income from the relevant trade equal to the chargeable amount.

Where TP is within the charge to corporation tax, an amount equal to the chargeable amount is to be treated for corporation tax purposes as a loss of TP’s trade brought forward under section 393 of ICTA (relief of trading losses against future trading profits) to the accounting period in which TP acquires the disposed rights.

Where TP is within the charge to income tax, an amount equal to the chargeable amount is to be treated for income tax purposes as a loss of TP’s trade brought forward under section 385 of ICTA (carry-forward against subsequent profits) to the year of assessment in which TP acquires the disposed rights.

But a loss brought forward under subsection (3) or (4) may only be set off against income which derives directly from the disposed rights.

The “chargeable amount” is the difference between V1 and V2.

Any income received in, or losses brought forward to, an accounting period by virtue of this section are in addition to any other income received in, or losses brought forward to, that period.

This section is deemed to have come into force on 2nd December 2004.

For the purposes of section 67, the value immediately before the exit event of the rights to guaranteed income under the guaranteed income agreement is calculated as follows— Step 1 Find the amount of each payment of income which at that time the guaranteed income agreement is designed to secure is received by C but which at that time has not been brought into account for the relevant trade by C (“RI”). Step 2 For each payment find the day for payment which the agreement is designed to secure (“the payment day”). Step 3 For each payment find the number of days in the period (“P”) which— begins with the day on which the exit event occurs, and ends with the payment day. Step 4 Calculate the net present value of each payment (“NPVRI”) by applying the following formula— where— T is the temporal discount rate, and i is the number of days in P divided by 365. Step 5 Add together each amount of NPVRI determined under step 4.

For the purposes of section 68, in relation to a relevant disposal, the value of the disposed rights immediately before the disposal is calculated as follows— Step 1 Find the amount of each payment of income which at that time the guaranteed income agreement is designed to secure is received by C by virtue of the disposed rights but which at that time has not been brought into account for the relevant trade by C (“DI”). Step 2 For each payment find the day for payment which the agreement is designed to secure (“the payment day”). Step 3 For each payment find the number of days in the period (“P”) which— begins with the day on which the relevant disposal occurs, and ends with the payment day. Step 4 Calculate the net present value of each payment (“NPVDI”) by applying the following formula— where— T is the temporal discount rate, and i is the number of days in P divided by 365. Step 5 Add together each amount of NPVDI determined under step 4.

For the purposes of this section the “temporal discount rate” is 3.5% or such other rate as may be specified by regulations made by the Treasury.

Regulations under subsection (3) may make such provision as is mentioned in subsection (3)(b) to (f) of section 178 of FA 1989 (power of Treasury to set rates of interest).

Subsection (5) of that section (power of Inland Revenue to specify rate by order in certain circumstances) applies in relation to regulations under subsection (3) as it applies in relation to regulations under that section.
