SE32661 - Corresponding payments

Section 192(3) ICTA 1988

Introduction

Employees who receive 'foreign emoluments' (see SE40031) may incur expenditure which would have reduced their United Kingdom tax liability if it had been incurred under an obligation under United Kingdom law. A special rule provided by Section 192(3) covers this situation. It provides that a deduction may be given by the Board for payments made by an employee out of foreign emoluments in circumstances corresponding to those which would have reduced his liability to United Kingdom Income Tax.

The following list describes examples of expenditure that would not otherwise qualify for a relief or deduction:

SE32671Contributions to overseas pension funds
SE32681Interest paid under a foreign loan agreement
