SE40222 - Schedule E Case II: calculation of emoluments arising from duties performed in the United Kingdom: example

Section 19(1)1 ICTA 1988

A US citizen is assigned to the United Kingdom by the US employer for a period of 2 – 3 years. Residence status is self-determined to be Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident in Years 1 and 2.

The employee is Head of European Operations, a post that requires a proportion of the duties to be performed outside the United Kingdom. In consequence emoluments are likely to be split between Cases II and III of Schedule E. Emoluments arising from duties performed offshore are potentially chargeable under Case III is they are “received” in the United Kingdom within the definition of Section 132(5) ICTA.
