730 Qualifying new residents and remittance-basis users: “foreign” deemed income

(1) Subsection (2) applies in relation to income treated under section 728 as arising to an individual (“the deemed income”)— (a) in the tax year 2024-25 or an earlier tax year if section 809B, 809D or 809E (remittance basis) applied to the individual for that tax year, or (b) in the tax year 2025-26 or a later tax year if the individual is entitled to claim relief under section 845A of ITTOIA 2005 (qualifying new residents) for that tax year. (2) For the purposes of this section the deemed income is “foreign” if (and to the corresponding extent that) the income mentioned in section 728(1)(a) would be relevant foreign income if it were the individual's. (2A) Subsections (3) to (5) apply where the deemed income falls within subsection (1)(a). (3) Treat the foreign deemed income as relevant foreign income of the individual. (4) For the purposes of Chapter A1 of Part 14 (remittance basis) treat so much of the income within section 728(1)(a) as would be relevant foreign income if it were the individual's as deriving from the foreign deemed income. (5) In the application of section 832 of ITTOIA 2005 to the foreign deemed income, subsection (2) of that section has effect with the omission of paragraph (b).

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.
