RDRM35220 - Remittance Basis: Amounts Remitted: Mixed Funds: Remittances from mixed funds - definition of 'mixed fund'

A mixed fund is an overseas fund of money,Ìýother property, or both, which contains or consists of more than one type of income, gains or capital, or income,ÌýgainsÌýor capital from more than one tax year.Ìý

Although the rules refer to a 바카라 사이트˜fund바카라 사이트™ the legislation is not limited to something as simple as a bank account. A mixed fund might be an asset, for example a painting or other such property that derives from foreign income or gains (refer to RDRM33150 Condition B - remittances derived from income or gains). This is regarded as containing the foreign income and gains that were used to purchase the property, and so is taxable in the same way as that foreign income or gains (section 809R(2) ITA 2007).Ìý

Section 809Q(6) Income Tax Act 2007Ìý

For the purposes of determining whether there has been a remittance from a mixed fund,ÌýwhereÌýCondition A within section 809L ITA 2007 applies,Ìýthe definition of a mixed fund isÌýmoney or other property which, immediately before the transfer (as referred to in section 809Q(1)), contains or derives from either:Ìý

  • more than one of the kinds of income and capital mentioned inÌýsectionÌý809Q(4),Ìý

  • income or capital for more than one tax yearÌý

  • TRF capital (see RDRM75100) and another kind of income or capitalÌý

The kinds of income and capital mentioned in section 809Q(4), which includes gains, are set out at RDRM35240 under 바카라 사이트˜Step 1바카라 사이트™.Ìý

The words 바카라 사이트˜immediately before the transfer바카라 사이트™ are important.ÌýOnce all of the foreign income and gains in the fund have been identified (using the Steps in section 809Q(3) 바카라 사이트“ see RDRM35240) as remitted by a relevant person, unless additional amounts of income and gains are credited to the mixed fund, the next transfer of funds will be capital.ÌýTransfers out of a mixed fund, whether these are remittances or offshore transfers, are on a transaction-by-transaction basis, unless the temporary annualised basis applies between 6 April 2025 andÌý5 April 2028 under the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) (see RDRM75500), or the special mixed fund rules applied before 6 April 2025 (see RDRM35810).Ìý

This means that mixed funds include:Ìý

  • an asset (property) that is, or is acquired with or otherwise derives from the foreign income or gainsÌý

  • assets acquired using mixed funds - for example, houses, cars, works of art and shares in companiesÌý

  • an overseas account that was set-up using funds from money or property that is or was a mixed fundÌý

  • an overseas account that includes more than one of theÌýkinds of income or capital mentioned at section 809Q(4)Ìý

A mixed fund does not exist just because the individual has several accounts with the same banking institution, if each account is separately constituted and contains only one of the relevant types of income or capital from only one year. This will usually include bank accounts set up as sub-accounts under an 바카라 사이트˜umbrella바카라 사이트™ agreement.Ìý

Where an individual has used foreign income or gains as collateral for a loan, which is a relevant debt, and the income or gains 바카라 사이트˜used바카라 사이트™ are contained within more than one account or asset, see RDRM35270.ÌýÌý

If income and capital sources from a tax year are maintained separately (sometimes referred to as 바카라 사이트˜kept clean바카라 사이트™ or 바카라 사이트˜clean capital바카라 사이트™) no mixed fund is created, and so these rules will not apply.Ìý

For example, an individual maintains 3Ìýseparate accounts with the same offshore institution:Ìý

  • account A into which they pay their relevant foreign earnings for the tax yearÌý

  • account B into which they pay some inherited money (clean capital)Ìý

  • account C into which they pay some relevant foreign income for the tax yearÌý

As long as these accounts do not become mixed funds, the individual can bring money into the UK from Account B and that will be accepted as a being a transfer of 바카라 사이트˜clean바카라 사이트™ capital, and so will not be a taxable remittance.Ìý

However, this may not be the case where individuals have remitted any nominated income and gains which createdÌýa remittance basis charge and the ordering rules at section 809J ITA 2007 apply 바카라 사이트“ refer to RDRM35110.
