Remittance Ordering Rules

These rules do not apply to foreign income or profits generated or accrued before April 6, 2008. See RDRM31400 Transitional Provisions. The office presented a webinar on the rule of reference and its requirements. The webinar has not been updated since its initial presentation in 2013. This “assessment” of the nature of transfers continues to apply to each subsequent taxation year, so careful records must be kept of what is actually remitted and what is treated as remitted. These records are necessary as long as the person has a non-transferred “basic income and transfer benefits.” The main provisions relating to payment rules and official interpretations are contained in the following documents: The legislation contains rules (five steps) for determining the classification under which income, profits and lump sums are deemed to have been transferred to the United Kingdom (ITA07 s809Q(3) and (4)). The rules of the Ordinance apply if an individual transfers his or her designated income or profits in a tax year, if there are other foreign income or profits from tax years for which the transfer basis was used that were not transferred. (ITA07/S809J). Find the total amount of the person`s income and profits for the relevant taxation year in each of the following categories of income and profits listed in paragraphs (a) to (h).

If the person has no income or profit on the basis of the payment in the “relevant taxation year”, perhaps because it is a taxation year in which they did not use the basis of payment, go to step 6.

Once income, capital or profits are paid into a mixed fund, they are generally expected to lose their “identity” within the fund. Therefore, rules are needed to determine what constitutes a subsequent transfer of this fund. The practical effect of these rules is that a taxpayer cannot limit the amount of UK tax that can be due, for example by saying that a transfer was made by a mixed fund from a certain amount of capital within the fund (and therefore not taxable) against income from the same fund. If you have a question about the office rules and bylaws we implement, please first read the regulations and official interpretations (comments) as well as available guidelines and compliance resources.

Note 4 – If the money contributed to the United Kingdom is capital (see also RDRM35200: Mixed Funds), the rules of order s809J do not apply. For these rules to come into effect, a transfer must first be made under ITA07/s809L, which is a transfer of the person`s income or profits. Sometimes the employment income of UK residents may be “subject to foreign tax” on a transfer basis, i.e. another country or government agency (usually the country of citizenship or citizenship) will also tax it on that income. In such cases, HMRC accepts that the work income of the person of British origin may still be considered to fall within paragraph (a) of the mixed fund, unless otherwise requested by the person; In this case, it remains in paragraph (f) as income from work subject to foreign tax. Note 1 – When ITA07/s809J is first applied, the “relevant year” is considered to be the year in which the designated revenue or profit is transferred. In subsequent taxation years, this is the current taxation year until all foreign income or taxable profits of the taxpayer in the taxation years in which the transfer base under section 809B, 809D or 809E is used have been paid. The income and profits in the person`s basis of payment are the person`s total foreign income or taxable profits for the “relevant taxation year” or a previous taxation year in which the person used the basis of payment under section 809B, 809D or 809E, but excluding income or profits from those years that: Note 4 – See also Section 809R for additional rules regarding Step 1. These additional rules may apply to a transfer of funds abroad. Offshore transfers include: transfers from one foreign bank account to another and foreign expenses, including the purchase and sale of real estate outside the UK, using money from a mixed fund.

Under these rules, untaxed foreign income is considered to take precedence over untaxed foreign profits, which are transferred both as foreign income and profits on which foreign taxes have been paid. Capital amounts for a taxation year are taken into account last. These rules apply to income and profits, etc. in a subsequent taxation year before being applied to income and profits, in a previous taxation year. This is called the “last in, first out” (LIFO) principle. Foreign income or profits from taxation years ending before and until April 5, 2008, or taxation years beginning after April 6, 2008, in which the person did not use the remittance base, are effectively ignored in this process. See review procedures for transfer rules If the fund has been cleaned, these steps are not necessary. More information on adjustment rules for mixed funds is available on RDRM35600. This time, allocate income and profits to the categories in paragraphs (a) to (h) of the previous taxation year, if it is a “reasonable taxation year” (see below). Note 5 – All income or assets taken into account are derived from a taxation year, initially the last taxation year, and are then reversed successively in each previous taxation year. If the reduced amount of the transfer is not zero after all paragraphs (a) to (i) have been taken into account for the taxation year concerned, repeat step 1.

Note 6 – Income from paid employment in the United Kingdom “subject to foreign tax” In this case, the following steps are taken to determine what is considered to be paid in that taxation year: Note 1 – Category (i) of this list includes income and profits arising in the United Kingdom and lump sums arising in and outside the United Kingdom, however, no income from employment in the United Kingdom which is likely to fall within paragraph (a). Repeat steps 2 (and 3), taking the reference to the first paragraph (a) through (i) as a reference to the first paragraph that has not been discussed before. If the reduced amount of the transfer is not zero, go back to the mixed fund and look for upcoming “sales” for that tax year. For the “relevant taxation year”, determine the individual`s amount Reduce the transfer amount (step 1) by the amount considered in step 2. On June 2, 2020, our Office also issued guidance on the COVID-19 pandemic related to the rule of reference, which was provided in addition to the April 2020 statement.
