From HM Revenue & Customs · Business Income Manual

Where the conditions are met, and set out the profits that should be treated as trading profits.

The relevant amount should be treated as profits of a trade carried on by the chargeable company or person.

If the chargeable company or person is non-UK resident, then their trade is dealing in or developing UK land.

The relevant amount should not be treated as a profit or gain for corporation tax or income tax purposes under these provisions, if it would already be brought into account as income for corporation tax or income tax [under another piece of legislation].

The profits are treated as arising in the accounting period in which they are realised.
