Commentary on Sections Structure of Chapters Overview
1710.Annuity payments made under a purchased life annuity are annual payments and taxable under the source legislation by section 18 of ICTA under Schedule D Case III or Case V. However, because of the special exemption that applies to payments made under a purchased life annuity (see the commentary on Chapter 7 of Part 6 of this Act) and because such payments are generally regarded as investment income, a specific charge has been carved out of the residual annual payments charge (which is in Chapter 7 of Part 5 of this Act).
1711.In line with the approach of bringing together all exemptions in one Part, the exemption for part of the purchased life annuity payment is in Chapter 7 of Part 6 of this Act.
