643BMeaning of “untaxed benefits total” in section 643AU.K.

(1)For the purposes of section 643A, whether an individual has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (“the current year”), and (if so) its amount, are determined as follows—

  • Step 1 If the individual is the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—

    (a)

    when the individual is not relevantly domiciled, and

    (b)

    in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

    If the individual is not the settlor, identify each benefit provided by the trustees to the individual at a time—

    (a)

    when the individual is a close member of the settlor's family (see section 643H), and

    (b)

    in a tax year that is the current year or an earlier tax year.

  • Step 2 Identify the amount or value of each benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1, and calculate the total of those amounts and values.

  • Step 3 Take the total calculated at Step 2 and deduct from it the following—

    (a)

    any part of it on which the individual is liable to income tax otherwise than under section 643A,

    (b)

    any income treated by section 643A, 643J or 643L as arising, to a person for a tax year earlier than the current year, by reference to any of the benefits identified in the individual's case at Step 1,

    (c)

    where the whole or part of a benefit identified in the individual's case at Step 1 is taken into account in charging income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ITA 2007, the amount or value of so much of the benefit as is taken into account in doing that, and

    (d)

    any amount required to be deducted by section 643D(2) (gains treated as accruing in a year before the current year).

  • Step 4 If the result of the calculation at Step 3 is an amount greater than nil, that amount is the individual's untaxed benefits total for the settlement for the current year.

(2)For the purposes of Step 1 in subsection (1), an individual is “relevantly domiciled” at any time if at that time—

(a)the individual is domiciled in the United Kingdom, or

Further provisions for calculating estate income relating to absolute interestsU.K.

665Assumed income entitlementU.K.

(1)Whether a person has an assumed income entitlement for a tax year in respect of an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate depends on the results of the following steps.

Step 1

Find the amount of the person's share of the residuary income of the estate that is attributable to that interest for that tax year and each previous tax year during which the person had that interest (see sections 666 to 669).

Step 2

If the estate is a UK estate in relation to any tax year for which an amount has been found under step 1, deduct from that amount income tax on that amount at the applicable rate for that year (see section 670).

Step 3

Add together the amounts found under step 1 after making any deductions necessary under step 2.

Step 4

Add together the basic amounts relating to the person's absolute interest in respect of which the person was liable for income tax for all previous tax years (or would have been so liable if the person had been a person liable for income tax for those years).

(2)For the purposes of this Chapter the person has an assumed income entitlement for the tax year if the amount resulting from step 3 exceeds the amount resulting from step 4.

(3)The assumed income entitlement is equal to the excess.

(4)This section is subject to—

  • section 671 (successive absolute interests), and

  • section 672 (successive interests: assumed income entitlement of holder of absolute interest following limited interest).

666The residuary income of the estateU.K.

(1)For the purposes of this Chapter the residuary income of an estate for a tax year is the aggregate income of the estate for that year, less the allowable estate deductions for that year.

This is subject to section 669 (reduction in residuary income: inheritance tax on accrued income).

(2)The allowable estate deductions for a tax year are—

(a)all interest paid in that year by the personal representatives in that capacity (but see section 233 of IHTA 1984: exclusion of interest on unpaid inheritance tax),

(b)all annual payments for that year which are properly payable out of residue,

(c)all payments made in that year in respect of expenses incurred by the personal representatives in that capacity in the management of the assets of the estate, and

(d)any excess deductions from the previous tax year.

This is subject to subsections (3) to (5).

(3)No sum is to be treated as an allowable estate deduction if it is allowable in calculating the aggregate income of the estate.

(4)No sum is to be counted twice as an allowable estate deduction.

(5)Payments in respect of expenses are only allowable estate deductions if they are properly chargeable to income (ignoring any specific direction in a will).

(6)In this section “excess deductions from the previous tax year” means so much of the allowable deductions for the previous tax year as exceeded the aggregate income of the estate for that year.

667Shares of residuary income of estateU.K.

(1)In the case of a person who has an absolute interest in the whole of the residue of an estate for a whole tax year, the person's share of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for that year is equal to the whole of that income for that year.

(2)In the case of a person who—

(a)has an absolute interest in the whole of the residue of an estate for part of the tax year, or

(b)an absolute interest in part of the residue of an estate for the whole or part of the tax year,

the person's share of the residuary income of the estate is a proportionate part of that income for that year.

(3)This section is subject to section 668 (reduction in share of residuary income of estate).

668Reduction in share of residuary income of estateU.K.

(1)This section applies if a person has an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate at the end of the administration period and—

(a)the total of the person's shares of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for all tax years (apart from this section), exceeds

(b)the total of all sums paid during or payable at the end of the administration period in respect of that interest to any person [F145grossed up, where the estate is a UK estate, by the applicable rate (see subsections (5A) to (5C))].

(2)In the final tax year the person's share of the residuary income of the estate is to be reduced by that excess.

(3)If that excess is greater than the person's share of that income for the final tax year, that person's share of that income for the previous tax year is to be reduced, and so on.

(4)If subsection (3) applies all necessary adjustments and repayments of income tax are to be made.

[F146(5A)The applicable rate by reference to which a sum within subsection (1)(b) is grossed up depends on the rate at which income tax was borne by the parts of the aggregate income of the estate from which section 679A treats the sum as having been paid.

(5B)If the same rate was borne by all the income from which section 679A treats the sum as having been paid, the applicable rate is that rate.

(5C)If different rates were borne by different parts of the income from which section 679A treats the sum as having been paid, each of those rates is the applicable rate by reference to which the corresponding part of the sum is grossed up.]

(6)For the application of this section where two or more absolute interests in the whole or the same part of the residue are held successively by different persons, see section 671(5) and (6).

669Reduction in residuary income: inheritance tax on accrued incomeU.K.

(1)This section applies if on the death of a person (“D”) income which accrued before D's death (“pre-death income”) is taken into account both—

(a)in determining the value of D's estate for the purposes of inheritance tax charged on D's death, and

(b)in calculating the residuary income of D's estate for a tax year.

(2)A reduction is made in the residuary income of D's estate for that tax year in ascertaining the extra liability, if any, of a person with an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of D's estate or any other estate to which that residuary income is relevant.

(3)A person's extra liability is the amount by which the person's liability to income tax exceeds the amount it would be if—

[F147(a)income charged at [F148an applicable] rate were charged at the basic rate, and

(b)income charged at the dividend additional rate or the dividend upper rate were charged at the dividend ordinary rate.]

[F149(3A)For the purposes of subsection (3), each of the following is an “applicable rate”—

(a)the higher rate,

(b)the additional rate,

(c)any Scottish rate that—

(i)is above the Scottish basic rate, but

(ii)is not the Scottish intermediate rate,

(d)the Welsh higher rate, and

(e)the Welsh additional rate.]

(4)The amount of the reduction under subsection (2) is calculated as follows:

Step 1

Calculate the net pre-death income by subtracting from the pre-death income any liabilities which have been taken account both—

(a) in determining the value of D's estate for the purposes of inheritance tax, and

(b) in calculating the residuary income of D's estate for the tax year.

Step 2

Calculate the inheritance tax attributable to net pre-death income by multiplying the inheritance tax to be charged by—

where—

NPDI is the net pre-death income, and

VE is the value of D's estate.

Step 3

Gross up the inheritance tax attributable to net pre-death income by reference to the basic rate for the tax year.

(5)The amount of pre-death income taken into account in determining the value of D's estate is taken to be the actual amount of income accruing before D's death, less income tax at the basic rate for the tax year in which D died.

(6)Subsection (5) applies even if the income so accruing was not valued separately or its amount was not known at the date of D's death.

(7)For the purposes of this section, the amounts agreed between the persons liable for inheritance tax and [F150an officer of Revenue and Customs] , or determined in proceedings between them, as the value of the estate and the amount of inheritance tax to be charged are conclusive.

(8)Evidence of those amounts and of any facts relevant to their calculation may be given by the production of a document that appears to be a certificate from [F150an officer of Revenue and Customs]

670Applicable rate for determining assumed income entitlement (UK estates)U.K.

(1)The applicable rate by reference to which income tax on a person's share of the residuary income of the estate for a tax year is calculated for the purposes of step 2 of the calculation in section 665(1) depends on the rate at which income tax is borne by the aggregate income of the estate for the year.

(2)If the aggregate income of the estate all bears income tax at the same rate, the applicable rate is that rate.

(3)If different parts of the aggregate income of the estate bear income tax at different rates, the applicable rate is the rate that applies to the income to which the person's share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

(4)If different rates apply to different parts of that income, each of those rates is the applicable rate that applies to the corresponding part of the income to which the person's share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

F151(4A). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2)In determining whether a person with a later such interest (“the later holder”) has an assumed income entitlement in respect of that interest and, if so, its amount—

(a)the later holder's share of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for any tax year is to be treated as including the share of any person with a previous such interest (“a previous holder”), and

(b)the basic amounts relating to the later holder's interest are to be treated as including the basic amounts relating to any previous such interest.

(3)In applying subsection (2), all determinations under that subsection or section 672(2) that fall to be made in relation to a person with an earlier interest are to be made before determinations under those provisions relating to a person with a later interest.

(4)A person who is a previous holder in the final tax year is to be taxed in that year, in relation to the interest as to which that person is a previous holder, as if that year were not the final tax year, and the later holder's assumed income entitlement in that year is to be calculated accordingly [F152(or, where the previous holder is a company chargeable to corporation tax, having regard to the application of section 954(4) of CTA 2009 to the previous holder)].

(5)The calculation under section 668(1)(a) and (b) (amount of reduction in the share of the residuary income of the person with an absolute interest at the end of the administration period) is to be made by reference to all the absolute interests taken together.

(6)If the amount resulting from that calculation is greater than the total amount of the reductions which can be made under section 668(2) and (3), the share of the residuary income of the estate of the last previous holder of the interest for the last tax year in which that last holder had that interest is to be reduced, and so on [F153(but, in a case where the last previous holder or any earlier previous holder is a company chargeable to corporation tax, having regard to the application of section 954(6) of CTA 2009 to the previous holder)].

(7)For the purposes of this section and sections 672 to 676, two interests are held successively even where one is not held immediately before or after the other.

(8)It is assumed for those purposes that each of the persons holding the interests in question is a person liable to income tax.
