INTM600050 - Transfer of assets abroad


Mandatory referral to the Centre for Non-residents

The Centre for Non- Residents (CNR) Bootle is part of Charity Assets and Residence and has both technical and operational responsibility for the legislation contained in ICTA88/S739 to ICTA/S746.

Technical and operational responsibility means that only CNR can decide whether there is a valid and worthwhile challenge to be made under either ICTA88/S739 or ICTA88/S740. Areas will often be the first to identify cases where the legislation may apply, and as such you have a vital role to play in fact finding and risk assessment. However you must not attempt to determine Section 739 or Section 740 liability or discuss its application with agents etc, without first contacting CNR. In practical terms this means that CNR must be notified of any cases in which you suspect that these provisions might apply. See INTM600060 for a checklist of factors that may indicate potential Section 739/Section 740 liability.

You must submit your papers if you receive a claim under ICTA88/S741 (exemption from Section 739 and Section 740 - see INTM600040). You should not enter into correspondence with the taxpayer or his agent on the application of Section 741. Any enquiry from a taxpayer or professional advisor about the scope and effect of the legislation, or its application to a particular taxpayer, should be referred directly to CNR. You may also contact CNR for general advice at any time if you feel you need it. (Contact details are at the bottom of the page.)
