(1)The charge to corporation tax on income applies to estate income.
(2)In this Chapter—
“estate” means the estate of a deceased person (whether a UK estate or a foreign estate), and
“estate income” means the income treated under this Chapter as arising from an absolute, limited or discretionary interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate.
(3)If different parts of an estate are subject to different residuary dispositions, those parts are treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if they were separate estates.
(1)A person has an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate for the purposes of this Chapter if—
(a)the capital of the residue or that part is properly payable to the person, or
(b)it would be so payable if the residue had been ascertained.
(2)A person has a limited interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate during any period for the purposes of this Chapter if—
(a)the person does not have an absolute interest in it, and
(b)the income from it would be properly payable to the person if the residue had been ascertained at the beginning of that period.
(3)A person has a discretionary interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate for the purposes of this Chapter if—
(a)a discretion may be exercised in the person's favour, and
(b)on its exercise in the person's favour any of the income of the residue during the whole or part of the administration period (see section 938) would be properly payable to the person if the residue had been ascertained at the beginning of that period.

(b)A is a personal representative and subsection (5) applies.
(5)The personal representatives of a deceased person (“B”) are to be treated as having an absolute or limited interest in the whole or part of the residue of the estate of another deceased person (“C”) if—
(a)they have a right in their capacity as B's personal representatives, and
(b)were the right vested in them for their own benefit, they would have that interest in C's estate.

(b)is income in respect of which the personal representatives are directly assessable to United Kingdom income tax for the tax year.
