Commentary on Sections Example 3 Ne = £5,000; Da = 183; De = 183; Smg = 0 Section 572: Person liable for tax
2296.This section identifies the person chargeable. It is new.
2297.The pension income Part includes income that ICTA taxes under Schedule E and income that ICTA taxes under Schedule D. For income taxed under Schedule D section 59(1) of ICTA identifies the person chargeable as the person “receiving or entitled” to the income.
2298.There is no equivalent of section 59(1) of ICTA for pensions that ICTA taxes under Schedule E. It would be inconsistent to identify a person chargeable for some but not all pension income. The pension income Part avoids this inconsistency. It makes the person liable for tax on pension income the person receiving or entitled to the income in all cases where ICTA did not specify the person chargeable. See Change 135 in Annex 1.
