settlement, no account is to be taken of a capital payment (or a part
20of a capital payment) within subsection (2), but this—

(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
2587I(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) 30Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a capital payment (or a

purposes.

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

(a) when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-

(i) as a beneficiary of the settlement (whether or not the
settlor is otherwise a beneficiary of the settlement),
40and

(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)
45and is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the full amount of the tax

require an officer of Revenue and Customs to give the settlor a
certificate specifying—

person.

(2) 20Where—

(a) there is a series of two or more gifts,

original beneficiary—

(i) at the time the original payment is received, or at any
25later time in the 3 years beginning with the day

10year by reference to the original payment—

or values)—

87J Relevant parts of payment from which onward gift derived

(1) Where this section applies (see section 87I), for the purposes of
section 87K treat the original payment as divided into slices as
follows—

(a) 45a slice consisting of the taxed part (if any) of each matched
amount (if any),

(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,
5matched 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
10by 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,

15the 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) 20section 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) 25that 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
30“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
35Schedule 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
40has 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) 45if 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—
