Introductory
This Chapter contains tax provision in connection with—
income arising to the trustees of a settlement from property held on qualifying trusts for the benefit of a vulnerable person, and
chargeable gains accruing to the trustees of a settlement from the disposal of such property.
Section 24 contains provision as to the making of claims for special tax treatment under this Chapter.
In this Chapter “vulnerable person election” means an election under section 37.
In this Chapter “vulnerable person” means—
a disabled person (see section 38), or
a relevant minor (see section 39).
A claim for special tax treatment under this Chapter for a tax year may be made by the trustees of a settlement if—
in the tax year they hold property on qualifying trusts for the benefit of a vulnerable person, and
a vulnerable person election has effect for all or part of the tax year in relation to those trusts and that person.
Income tax
This section has effect in relation to a tax year if—
in the tax year income arises (or is treated as arising) to the trustees of a settlement from property held on qualifying trusts for the benefit of a vulnerable person (“qualifying trusts income”), and
a claim for special tax treatment under this Chapter for the tax year is made by the trustees.
But this section does not have effect in relation to the tax year if the property from which the qualifying trusts income arises (or is treated as arising) is property in which a person who is a settlor (within the meaning given by section 620(1) of ITTOIA 2005) is regarded as having an interest for the purposes of sections 624 and 625 of that Act (income arising under settlement where settlor retains an interest).
The trustees' liability to income tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to—TQTI-VQTI where—TQTI is an amount determined in accordance with section 27 (income tax liability of trustees in respect of qualifying trusts income), and VQTI is an amount determined in accordance with section 28 (extra income tax to which vulnerable person would be liable if qualifying trusts income were income of his).
The tax reduction is given effect at Step 6 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007.
For the purposes of section 26, TQTI is the amount of income tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to them in that year (or to which they would be so liable if their liability were computed in accordance with subsection (2) in a case to which that subsection applies).
In a case where—there shall be disregarded, in computing the income tax liability of the trustees for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to them in that year, such part of the allowable expenses as bears the same proportion to all those expenses as other income bears to total income.
income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the tax year (“total income”) includes income (“other income”) which is not qualifying trusts income, and
the trustees have allowable expenses,
References in subsection (2) to allowable expenses are to expenses which can be set against the total income in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 9 of ITA 2007.
This section is subject to section 29 (vulnerable person election having effect for only part of tax year).
For the purposes of section 26, VQTI is an amount equal to—TLV1-TLV2 where—TLV2 is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) (and subsection (4) where it applies) (total income tax liability of vulnerable person), and TLV1 is an amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) (and subsection (4) where it applies) (what total income tax liability of vulnerable person would be if his income included qualifying trusts income).
TLV2 is the total amount of income tax ... to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year if his income tax liability were computed in accordance with subsections (5) and (6).
TLV1 is what TLV2 would be if the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the tax year in respect of which the trustees are liable to income tax were income of the vulnerable person for the tax year.
Where the vulnerable person is non-UK resident for the tax year, his or her income tax liability for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2 is to be computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts on the assumption that—
he or she is UK resident for the tax year, and
that year is not, as respects him or her, a split year within the meaning of Part 3 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013,...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For the purposes of this section, in a case where income which has arisen to the trustees (whenever it arose) is distributed to the vulnerable person in the tax year, that income is to be disregarded in computing income tax to which he would be liable for the tax year for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2.
For the purposes of this section, in computing income tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year for the purposes of determining TLV1 and TLV2, there is to be disregarded any relief which is given by way of a reduction in the amount of income tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable apart from that relief.
For the purposes of this section—
whether or not a vulnerable person is non-UK resident is to be determined in accordance with section 41(2), and
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This section is subject to section 29 (vulnerable person election having effect for only part of tax year).
In a case where this section applies, section 629(1) of ITTOIA 2005 shall not apply in respect of a payment by the trustees of a settlement to a beneficiary under the settlement.
This section applies if in a year of assessment—
the trustees make a payment to a vulnerable person,
the payment is made out of qualifying trusts income,
the vulnerable person is a relevant child (within the meaning given by section 629 of ITTOIA 2005) of a settlor in relation to the settlement, and
the trustees have made a successful claim for special income tax treatment under section 25.
Those modifications are—
that references to the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the tax year are to be treated as references to the qualifying trusts income arising (or treated as arising) to them in the elected part of the tax year, and
that the references in section 27(2) to income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the tax year and expenses of the trustees in the tax year are to be treated as (respectively) references to income arising (or treated as arising) to the trustees in the elected part of the tax year and expenses of the trustees in that part of the tax year.
Capital gains tax
This section has effect in relation to a tax year if—
in the tax year chargeable gains accrue to the trustees of a settlement from the disposal of settled property which is held on qualifying trusts for the benefit of a vulnerable person (“the qualifying trusts gains”),
the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of those gains,
the trustees are resident in the United Kingdom during any part of the tax year, and
a claim for special tax treatment under this Chapter for the tax year is made by the trustees.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Special capital gains tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with—
section 31 (vulnerable person UK resident for the tax year), or
section 32 (vulnerable person non-UK resident for the tax year).
But this section does not have effect in relation to the tax year if the vulnerable person dies during that year.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The reference in subsection (1)(a) to chargeable gains accruing to the trustees from the disposal of settled property includes a reference to chargeable gains treated as accruing to them under section 13 of TCGA 1992 (attribution of gains to members of non-resident companies).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Special capital gains tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with this section if the vulnerable person is UK resident for the tax year.
The trustees' liability to capital gains tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to—TQTG-VQTG where—TQTG is the amount of capital gains tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trust gains, and VQTG is the amount arrived at under subsection (3).
That amount is—TLVA-TLVB where—TLVB is the total amount of capital gains tax to which the vulnerable person is liable for the tax year, and TL VA is what TLVB would be if the qualifying trust gains accrued to the vulnerable person (instead of to the trustees) and no allowable losses were deducted from the qualifying trust gains.
Special capital gains tax treatment applies for the tax year in accordance with this section if the vulnerable person is non-UK resident for the tax year.
The trustees' liability to capital gains tax for the tax year is to be reduced by an amount equal to—TQTG-VQTG where—TQTG is the amount of capital gains tax to which the trustees would (apart from this Chapter) be liable for the tax year in respect of the qualifying trusts gains, and VQTG is the amount arrived at under subsection (3).
That amount is—TLVA-TLVB where—TLVB is the total amount of capital gains tax to which the vulnerable person would be liable for the tax year if the vulnerable person's taxable amount for the tax year... were equal to the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year (if any), and TL VA is what TLVB would be if the vulnerable person's taxable amount for the tax year... were equal to the aggregate of the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year (if any) and the amount of the qualifying trust gains.
For the purposes of this section “the vulnerable person’s taxable amount for the tax year” means the amount on which that person would be chargeable to capital gains tax for the tax year if no account were taken of section 1K of TCGA 1992.
For the purposes of this section the vulnerable person's deemed CGT taxable amount for the tax year is to be determined in accordance with Schedule 1.

Qualifying trusts
For the purposes of this Chapter where property is held on trusts for the benefit of a disabled person those trusts are qualifying trusts if they secure that the conditions in subsection (2) are met—
during the lifetime of the disabled person, or
until the termination of the trusts (if that occurs before his death).
Those conditions are—
that if any of the property is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of the disabled person, and
either—
that the disabled person is entitled to all the income (if there is any) arising from any of the property, or
if any such income is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of the disabled person.
The trusts on which property is held are not to be treated as failing to secure that the conditions in subsection (2) are met by reason only of—
the trustees' having powers that enable them to apply in any tax year otherwise than for the benefit of the disabled person amounts (whether consisting of income or capital, or both) not exceeding the annual limit,
the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 (powers of advancement),
the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by proviso (a) of subsection (1) of that section,
the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 33 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland),
the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by subsection (1)(a) of that section, or
the trustees' having powers to the like effect as the powers mentioned in any of paragraphs (b) to (e).
For the purposes of this section, the “annual limit” for a tax year is whichever is the lower of the following amounts—
£3,000, and
3% of the amount that is the maximum value of the settled property during the tax year in question.
The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument—
specify circumstances in which subsection (3)(a) is, or is not, to apply in relation to a trust, and
amend the definition of “the annual limit” in subsection (3B).
An order under subsection (3C) may—
make different provision for different cases, and
contain transitional and saving provision.
A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (3C) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons.
The reference in subsection (1) to the lifetime of the disabled person is, where property is held for his benefit on trusts of the kind described in section 33 of the Trustee Act 1925 (protective trusts), to be construed as a reference to the period during which such property is held on trust for him.
For the purposes of this Chapter where property is held on trusts for the benefit of a relevant minor those trusts are qualifying trusts if they are—
statutory trusts for the relevant minor under sections 46 and 47(1) of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (c. 23) (succession on intestacy and statutory trusts in favour of relatives of intestate), or
trusts to which subsection (2) below applies.
This subsection applies to trusts—which secure that the conditions in subsection (3) are met.
established under the will of a deceased parent of the relevant minor, or
established under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme, or
established under the Victims of Overseas Terrorism Compensation Scheme,
Those conditions are—
that the relevant minor will, on attaining the age of 18, become absolutely entitled to the property, any income arising from it and any income that has arisen from property held on the trusts for his benefit and been accumulated before that time,
that, until that time, for so long as the relevant minor is living, if any of the property is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of the relevant minor, and
that, until that time, for so long as the relevant minor is living, either—
the relevant minor is entitled to all the income (if there is any) arising from any of the property, or
if any such income is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of the relevant minor.
Trusts to which subsection (2) applies are not to be treated as failing to secure that the conditions in subsection (3) are met by reason only of—
the trustees' having powers that enable them to apply in any tax year otherwise than for the benefit of the relevant minor amounts (whether consisting of income or capital, or both) not exceeding the annual limit,
the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 (powers of advancement),
the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by proviso (a) of subsection (1) of that section,
the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 33 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland),
the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by subsection (1)(a) of that section, or
the trustees' having powers to the like effect as the powers mentioned in any of paragraphs (b) to (e).
For the purposes of this section, the “annual limit” for a tax year is whichever is the lower of the following amounts—
£3,000, and
3% of the amount that is the maximum value of the settled property during the tax year in question.
The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument—
specify circumstances in which subsection (4)(a) is, or is not, to apply in relation to a trust, and
amend the definition of “the annual limit” in subsection (4B).
An order under subsection (4C) may—
make different provision for different cases, and
contain transitional and saving provision.
A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (4C) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons.
In this section “the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme” means—
the schemes established by arrangements made under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 1995 (c. 53),
arrangements made by the Secretary of State for compensation for criminal injuries in operation before the commencement of those schemes, or
the scheme established under the Criminal Injuries (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/796 (N.I. 1)).
For the purposes of this Chapter references to property being held on trusts include references to a part of an asset being held on trusts if—can be identified for the purpose of determining whether the trusts on which it is held are qualifying trusts.
that part of the asset, and
any income arising from it (or treated as arising from it),

the trusts in relation to which the election is made are qualifying trusts.
A vulnerable person election is an election in such form as the Board of Inland Revenue may require—
specifying the date from which it is to have effect (“the effective date”),
made by notice to the Inland Revenue no later than 12 months after 31st January next following the tax year in which the effective date falls, or within such further time, if any, as the Board of Inland Revenue may by notice have allowed, and

the trusts are terminated.
If the trustees become aware that an event mentioned in subsection (5) has occurred—
they must inform the Inland Revenue that the vulnerable person election has ceased to have effect, and
they must do so by giving notice containing particulars of the event within the period of 90 days beginning on the date on which they first become aware that the event has occurred.
Where—the vulnerable person election shall have effect, in relation to the trusts mentioned in paragraph (a), in respect of matters arising at or after the time when the sub-fund election is treated as having taken effect, as if it had been made by the trustees of the sub-fund settlement and the vulnerable person.
a vulnerable person election has effect in relation to qualifying trusts,
the property held on those trusts is treated for the purposes of TCGA 1992 and of the Tax Acts as comprised in a sub-fund settlement, and
the vulnerable person election was not made by the trustees of the sub-fund settlement,
In relation to matters arising before the time when the sub-fund election is treated as having taken effect, nothing in subsection (7)—
relieves the trustees of the settlement which is the principal settlement in relation to the sub-fund settlement of their obligation under subsection (6), or

Schedule 4 (accounting practice and related matters) has effect.
In that Schedule—Part 1 makes provision about bad debts and related matters; Part 2 makes other provision connected with accounting practice.
Part 1 of the Schedule, so far as it amends provisions that have effect both for income tax and corporation tax, has effect for the purposes of corporation tax only.
Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of the Schedule have effect for periods of account beginning on or after 1st January 2005.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This section applies where—
a company enters into a transaction on or after 14th December 2004, otherwise than in the ordinary course of its business,
as a result of the transaction it incurs a loss in respect of a loan relationship or derivative contract in respect of which, apart from this section, a debit would fall to be brought into account for tax purposes in a period of account beginning before 1st January 2005,
the sole or main purpose of the company in entering into the transaction at the time it did was to enable it to bring a debit into account for tax purposes in such a period, and
if the company had continued to hold the asset or liability representing the loan relationship or derivative contract, as it was held immediately before the transaction referred to in paragraph (a), in its first period of account beginning on or after 1st January 2005, a debit would have arisen in respect of the loan relationship or derivative contract in that period that was a prescribed debit for the purposes of regulation 3 of the Loan Relationship and Derivative Contracts (Change of Accounting Practice) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/3271) (debits not to be brought into account until the company's first period beginning on or after 1st January 2006).
Where this section applies no such debit as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b) shall be brought into account in the period of account mentioned there, but a debit of the same amount shall instead be brought into account as if it were a prescribed debit for the purposes of the regulation referred to in subsection (1)(d) (even though the loss giving rise to the debit was incurred before 1st January 2005).
In determining the sole or main purpose of a company for the purposes of subsection (1)(c) regard shall be had to anything done by a connected company that would be relevant for the purposes of that determination if done by the company in question. For this purpose companies are connected if they are connected persons within the meaning of section 839 of ICTA.
For the purposes of subsection (1)(d) it shall be assumed that the loan relationship or derivative contract has the same value at the beginning of the company's first period of account beginning on or after 1st January 2005 as it had at the time of the transaction referred to in subsection (1)(a).
This section does not apply where the transaction is entered into in pursuance of legally binding arrangements entered into before 14th December 2004.
In this section, references to a company entering into a transaction include a reference to the company, or the directors of the company, taking a decision about a loan relationship or derivative contract that affects its treatment for accounting purposes (other than a decision to prepare some or all of the company's accounts in accordance with international accounting standards).
For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as they apply to a securitisation company in relation to a period of account—generally accepted accounting practice shall be taken to be UK generally accepted accounting practice as it applied for a period of account ending on 31st December 2004.
beginning on or after 1st January 2005, and
(subject to subsection (7A)(a)) ending before 1st January 2008,

An “intermediate borrowing company” means a company—
whose only business is to enter into and be a party to creditor relationships with an asset-holding company (or another intermediate borrowing company), and

no deduction is to be made under section 1(3)(b) of TCGA 1992, ...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
