Period over which the interest charge accrues

Last updated 4 December 2006

The interest charge accrues as follows:

  • where the trust distribution is paid out of trust income or profits accumulated before 1990–91, the charge will accrue from the start of the beneficiary's 1990–91 income year
  • where the trust distribution is paid out of trust income accumulated by the non-resident trust estate in the 1990–91 or a subsequent income year, the charge will accrue from the start of the beneficiary's next income year - that is, the income year first following the income year of the trust estate for which the income would have been included in the assessable income of the trust if the trust had been a resident trust estate.

The interest charge will cease to accrue on the last day of the income year in which the distributed amount is included in the assessable income of the beneficiary.
