This guidance note describes how the income of a settlor-interested trust is charged on the settlor in accordance with the provisions of the Settlements Code set out in ITTOIA 2005, Part 5, Chapter 5. See the Settlor interested trusts guidance note. The three categories of charge are:
on income arising under a settlement during the life of the settlor, from property in which the settlor has retained an interest
on settlement income paid to relevant (ie unmarried minor) children of the settlor, during the life of the settlor
on capital paid to the settlor by the trustees of a settlement (to the extent that it can be matched with undistributed income)
Under all three heads of charge, income tax is charged on a formal trust in the usual way, according to the type of income, at either standard rates or trust rates depending on the type of trust.
See the following guidance notes:
Interest in possession trusts ― income tax
Discretionary trusts ― income
