Contents of the mixed fund as of the 3 September
Note 1 - Immediately before the transfer on 3 September the mixed fund contained
s809Q para | Type of income | Amount |
---|---|---|
Para (a) | Employment Income | £10,000 |
Para (f) | Earnings subject to a foreign tax | £5,000 |
Para (i) | Income or capital not within another paragraph | £32,000 |
The transfer is regarded as coming from the ‘earliest paragraph�, that is Para (a), so the £5,000 is UK employment income. Although money has been brought into the UK, there is no taxable remittance as the money has already been taxed.
Note 2 - The next payment from the account is £10,000 for the family holiday flights to the USA. The full payment is a remittance because the service provided is in the UK - the flights begin or end in London.
The transfer is regarded as coming from each of the paragraphs in order; that is £5,000 from Para (a) and a taxable remittance consisting of £5,000 from Para (f).

Para (g) | RFI | £350,000 |

The transfer is regarded as coming from the ‘earliest paragraph�, that is Para (a), so the £5,000 is UK employment income.
Immediately before the offshore transfer on the 15 October
Note 4 - The transfer of £350,000 to a new Swiss bank account is an offshore transfer. Immediately before the offshore transfer on 15 October the IoM bank account (mixed fund) is regarded as containing:
s809Q para | Type of income | Amount |
---|---|---|
Para (a) | Employment Income | £175,000 |
Para (f) | Earnings subject to a foreign tax | £50,000 |
Para (g) | RFI | £350,000 |
Para (i) | Income or capital not within another paragraph | £32,000 |
- | - | £607,000 |
The offshore transfer consists of an appropriate proportion of each kind of income, gain or capital, within the mixed fund, that is:
s809Q para | Type of income | Amount |
---|---|---|
Para (a) | Employment Income | £100,906 |
Para (f) | Earnings subject to a foreign tax | £28,830 |
Para (g) | RFI | £201,812 |
Para (i) | Income or capital not within another paragraph | £18,452 |
The Swiss bank account is another ‘mixed fund�, containing the income, gains and capital of the transferred amount. Assuming nothing else is added or taken away from the Swiss account in the interim, if in a couple of years� time Ahmid decides to remit £120,000 to the UK from his Swiss bank account, the same ordering rules will apply to the Swiss fund, so the remittance is regarded as consisting of £100,906 from Para (a) and £19,094 from Para (f).
