section 41ZA (which is about determining the extent

3
In Chapter 5 (taxable earnings: remittance basis rules and rules for non-UK
15resident employees), after section 41 insert—
The extent to which general earnings are in respect of duties
performed in the United Kingdom is to be determined under this
20Chapter on a just and reasonable basis.”

5
In section 809Q (sections 809L and 809P: transfers from mixed funds), after
25subsection (1) insert—
“(1A) But this section must be read subject to section 809RA.”
6 After section 809R insert—
(1) This section applies if—
(a)
30an individual has general earnings from an employment for
a tax year,
(b)
those earnings include both general earnings within section
15(1) of ITEPA 2003 (“section 15(1) earnings”) and general
earnings within section 26(1) of that Act (“section 26(1)
35earnings”),
(c)
at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, or sums deriving
(wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least
some of the section 15(1) earnings, are paid into an account in
that tax year at a time (a “relevant time”) when the account is
40a qualifying account of the individual, and
Finance (No. 2) BillPage 187
(d)
at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, or sums deriving
(wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least
some of the section 26(1) earnings, are also paid into the
account in that tax year at a relevant time.
(2)
5If this section applies, the composition of each transfer made from
the account in that tax year at a relevant time is to be determined as
follows—
Step 1 Suppose that all the condition A transfers made from the
account in the tax year at a relevant time had been a single transfer
10made from the account at the end of the tax year.
Step 2 Suppose that all the other transfers made from the account in
the tax year at a relevant time had been a single offshore transfer
made at the end of the tax year immediately after the single transfer
mentioned in step 1.
15Step 3 Applying those suppositions—
find under section 809Q(3) the extent to which the single
transfer mentioned in step 1 is of the individual’s income or
chargeable gains, and
find under section 809R(4) the content of the single offshore
20transfer mentioned in step 2.
Step 4 Each transfer made from the account in the tax year at a
relevant time is to be treated as containing the specified proportion
of each kind of income or capital contained in the relevant deemed
transfer.
25“The specified proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by
the amount of the relevant deemed transfer.
“The relevant deemed transfer” is—
if the transfer is a condition A transfer, the single transfer
mentioned in step 1, and
30otherwise, the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.
“The relevant deemed transfer” is—
if the transfer is a condition A transfer, the single transfer
mentioned in step 1, and
otherwise, the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.
(3)
35Subsection (2) applies in determining the composition of a transfer
for the purposes of sections 809Q and 809R but it does not otherwise
affect the date on which a transfer is considered to occur for the
purposes of this Chapter.
(4)
If the tax year is the tax year in which the account becomes a
40qualifying account, for the purpose of applying section 809Q(3) in
relation to the single transfer mentioned in step 1 of subsection (2),
treat the part of the tax year falling before the qualifying date for the
account as a separate tax year.
(5)
If the account ceases to be a qualifying account of the individual
45during the tax year other than as a result of a breach of the deposit
rule—
(a)
subsection (2) has effect as if references to the end of the tax
year were to the end of the day on which the account ceases
to be a qualifying account, and
(b)
50for the purpose of applying section 809Q(3) in relation to the
single transfer mentioned in step 1 of subsection (2), treat the
part of the tax year falling after the day mentioned in
paragraph (a) as a separate tax year.
Finance (No. 2) BillPage 188
(6)
A transfer from the account is a “condition A transfer” if and to the
extent that—
(a) condition A in section 809L is met, and
(b) either—
(i)
5the property or consideration for the service is
(wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and
directly or indirectly) from, the transfer, or
(ii)
the transfer, or anything deriving (wholly or in part,
and directly or indirectly) from the transfer, is used as
10mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).
(7)
A transfer from the account is an “other transfer” if and to the extent
that it is not a condition A transfer.
(8)
Treat a transfer as an “other transfer” if and to the extent that, at the
end of the tax year—
(a) 15it is not a condition A transfer, and
(b)
on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made
at that time, it will not become a condition A transfer.
(9)
If the account ceases to be a qualifying account of the individual
during the tax year other than as a result of a breach of the deposit
20rule, subsection (8) has effect as if the reference to the end of the tax
year were to the end of the day on which the account ceases to be a
qualifying account.
(10)
“Qualifying account” and “the qualifying date” for an account are
defined in section 809RB.

is paid into the account sums falling within subsection (4) which (in
total) are more than £10.
(4)
A sum falls within this subsection if it is, or derives wholly (whether
45directly or indirectly) from, general earnings of the individual from
an employment for a tax year which is a relevant tax year in relation
to the employment.
Finance (No. 2) BillPage 189
(5)
A tax year is a “relevant” tax year in relation to an employment if the
general earnings which the individual has for the tax year from the
employment include both general earnings within section 15(1) of
ITEPA 2003 and general earnings within section 26(1) of that Act.

35at any time on the qualifying date, the account is not an
ordinary bank account held by and for the benefit of the
individual (alone or jointly with others), or
(b)
immediately before the qualifying date, the account has a
credit balance of more than £10.
(11)
40The account is not to be a qualifying account at all if the qualifying
date falls in a tax year—
(a)
for which the individual has no general earnings within
section 26(1) of ITEPA 2003, or
(b)
in which there is a breach of the deposit rule which is not
45remedied or cannot be remedied.
(12)
Subsection (9)(b)(iv) or (11)(b) (as relevant) is to be ignored if the
breach occurs on or after a date falling within subsection (9)(b)(i) to
(iii).
