RE1750 - Remittance basis: securities, stocks, shares or rents abroad


Income from securities, stocks, shares or rents from outside the United Kingdom is normally assessed on the basis of the full amount of the income arising. This basis is changed for any person who is resident in the United Kingdom but


  • is not domiciled in the United Kingdom (IM1630 - IM635), or
  • is a Commonwealth citizen or citizen of the Republic of Ireland and is not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom.

An individual in either category is entitled to compute his income for assessment by reference to the income received in the United Kingdom.

Both bases of assessment are fully explained in IM1647 and IM1651.

This instruction does not apply to income arising in the Republic of Ireland (DT4060).
