3. THE REMITTANCE BASIS FOR CAPITAL GAINS TAX
As with the Income Tax legislation, this new subsection provides that where an Irish resident, non-domiciled individual makes a transfer outside the state, of any chargeable gains, which would otherwise have been liable to Capital Gains Tax on the remittance basis, to his/her spouse or civil partner, any amounts remitted into Ireland on or after 13th February 2013 deriving from that transfer will be treated as having been remitted by the individual who made the transfer to his/her spouse or civil partner.
It is important to remember that the provisions apply to a remittance by the spouse or civil partner on or after 13th February 2013 which means that any chargeable gains historically transferred are within the scope of the new provisions of Finance Act 2013 where the remittance into Ireland occurs on or after 13th February 2013.
