(a) capitalisation of interest payable under the loan,

(b) 5any other failure to pay interest in accordance with the terms
of the loan, or

(c) variation of the terms of the loan such that they cease to be
arm’s length terms.

(a) 10the settlor becomes deemed domiciled in the United
Kingdom on or after 6 April 2017,

(b) before the date on which the settlor becomes deemed

(c) the loan is not entered into on arm’s length terms, and

(d) any amount that is outstanding under the loan on the
20deemed domicile date (“the outstanding amount”) is payable
or repayable on demand on or after that date.

(6) Where this subsection applies, the outstanding amount is to be
regarded as property directly provided on the deemed domicile date
by the lender for the purposes of the settlement (despite subsection
25(2)).

(7) But if the deemed domicile date is 6 April 2017, subsection (6) does
not apply if—

(a) the principal of the loan is repaid, and all interest payable
under the loan is paid, before 6 April 2018, or

(b) 30the loan becomes a loan on arm’s length terms before 6 April
2018 and—

40if interest at the official rate or more is payable at least
annually under the loan;

(b) in the case of a loan made by the trustees of a settlement, only
if any interest payable under the loan is payable at no more
than the official rate.

(9) 45For the purposes of this section—

  • a settlement is “connected” with a person if the person is the
    settlor or a beneficiary of it;

  • “deemed domiciled” has the same meaning as in section 721A;

  • Finance BillPage 512

  • “official rate”, in relation to interest, means the rate of interest
    applicable from time to time under section 178 of FA 1989 for

    20had effect for tax years earlier than the tax
    year 2017-18, and

    (ii)

    so had effect with the omission of its
    subsections (3)(e), (4)(g), (5) and (6), and

    (c)

    has not prior to 6 April 2017 been distributed by the
    25trustees of the settlement concerned.”

resident individual), for subsection (1A) (amount treated as arising)
substitute—

(1A) The amount of the income treated as arising under subsection (1) is
30(subject to subsection (2)) given by the following rules—

(a) is domiciled in the United Kingdom at any time in the tax
35year, or

(b) is at any time in the tax year regarded for the purposes of
section 718(1)(b) as domiciled in the United Kingdom as a

in that section being met.

40Rule 2

In any other case, the amount is equal to so much of the income of the
person abroad as is not protected foreign-source income (see section
729A).

(1B) In a case in which rule 2 of subsection (1A) applies, so much of the
45income of the person abroad as is protected foreign-source income
for the purposes of that rule counts as “protected income” for the
purposes of section 733A(1)(b)(i).”
