HC Deb 06 April 1949 vol 463 cc2108-9

Resolved: That—

(1) where—

  1. (a) under any contract or arrangements, whether made before or after the passing of this Resolution, provision is made for the making to any person, at intervals until the happening of an event or contingency dependent on human life, of payments by way of loan; and
  2. (b) under the contract or arrangements, the loans are secured upon a policy of life assurance which assures moneys payable on the happening of such an event or contingency and need not be repaid until the policy moneys become payable; and
  3. (c) the amount of the moneys payable on the happening of the event or contingency is made by the policy to increase by reference to the length of a period ending on the happening thereof,
the payments by way of loan shall be treated for all the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as annual payments falling within Case III of Schedule D, or, if they are made to a person residing in the United Kingdom and the contract or arrangements were made outside the United Kingdom, as income from a possession out of the United Kingdom falling within Rule 1 of Case V of Schedule D;

(2) the amount of the moneys payable under a policy of life assurance shall not be deemed for the purposes of this Resolution to be made to increase by reference to the length of a period ending on the happening of an event or contingency dependent on human life by reason only that those moneys are to increase from time to time if profits are made by the persons liable under the policy.

And it is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution should have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1913."
