931C Meaning of “qualifying territory”

(1) For the purpose of section 931B a territory is a “qualifying territory” if— (a) arrangements made in relation to the territory have effect under section 2(1) of TIOPA 2010 (“double taxation relief arrangements”), and (b) the arrangements contain a non-discrimination provision. (2) The Treasury may by regulations— (a) provide that a territory specified in or of a description specified in the regulations that does not satisfy subsection (1)(a) or (b) is a qualifying territory for the purpose of section 931B, and (b) provide that a territory so specified or described that satisfies subsection (1)(a) and (b) is not a qualifying territory for that purpose. (3) For the purpose of section 931B a company is a resident of a territory if, under the laws of the territory, the company is liable to tax there— (a) by reason of its domicile, residence or place of management, but (b) not in respect only of income from sources in that territory or capital situated there. (4) In subsection (1) “non-discrimination provision”, in relation to double taxation relief arrangements, means a provision to the effect that nationals of a state which is a party to those arrangements (a “contracting state”) are not to be subject in any other contracting state to— (a) any taxation, or (b) any requirement connected with taxation, which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of that other state in the same circumstances (in particular with respect to residence) are or may be subjected. (5) In subsection (4) “national”, in relation to a contracting state, includes— (a) an individual possessing the nationality or citizenship of the contracting state, and (b) a legal person, partnership or association deriving its status as such from the laws in force in that contracting state. (6) Regulations under this section may— (a) describe a territory by reference to the double taxation relief arrangements for the time being in force in relation to the territory, (b) make different provision in relation to different descriptions of company, and (c) make provision having effect in relation to accounting periods current on the day on which the regulations are made.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
