39Other unit trusts

(1)After section 354 of the Taxes Act there shall be inserted—

354AOther unit trusts.

(1)This section applies to—

(a)any unit trust scheme that is not an authorised unit trust, and

(b)any authorised unit trust to which, by virtue of section 60 of the [1980 c. 48.] Finance Act 1980, section 354 of this Act does not apply,

except where the trustees of the scheme are not resident in the United Kingdom.

(2)Income arising to the trustees of the scheme shall be regarded for the purposes of the Tax Acts as income of the trustees (and not as income of the unit holders); and the trustees (and not the unit holders) shall be regarded as the persons to or on whom allowances or charges are to be made under the provisions of those Acts relating to relief for capital expenditure.

(3)For the purposes of the Tax Acts the unit holders shall be treated as receiving annual payments (made by the trustees under deduction of tax) in proportion to their rights.

(4)The total amount of those annual payments in respect of any distribution period shall be the amount which, after deducting income tax at the basic rate in force for the year of assessment in which the payments are treated as made, is equal to the aggregate amount shown in the accounts of the scheme as income available for payment to unit holders or for investment.

(5)The date on which the annual payments are treated as made shall be the date or latest date provided by the terms of the scheme for any distribution in respect of the distribution period in question, except that, if—

(a)the date so provided is more than twelve months after the end of the period, or

(b)no date is so provided,

the date on which the payments are treated as made shall be the last day of the period.

(6)In this section 'distribution period' has the same meaning as in section 354 of this Act, but—

(a)if the scheme does not make provision for distribution periods, then for the purposes of this section its distribution periods shall be taken to be successive periods of twelve months the first of which began with the day on which the scheme took effect, and

(b)if the scheme makes provision for distribution periods of more than twelve months, then for the purposes of this section each of those periods shall be taken to be divided into two (or more) distribution periods, the second succeeding the first after twelve months (and so on for any further periods).

(7)In this section 'unit trust scheme' has the same meaning as in the [1986 c. 60.] Financial Services Act 1986, except that the Treasury may by regulations provide that any scheme of a description specified in the regulations shall be treated as not being a unit trust scheme for the purposes of this section.

(8)Regulations under this section—

(a)may contain such supplementary and transitional provisions as appear to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient, and

(b)shall be made by statutory instrument, which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.

(9)Sections 16 and 17 of the [1973 c. 51.] Finance Act 1973 (which make provision for charging tax at the additional rate on certain trust income) shall not apply to a scheme to which this section applies.

(10)Paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 23 to the [1985 c. 54.] Finance Act 1985 (which charges tax at the additional rate on certain sums treated as received by trustees in respect of accrued interest) shall not apply in relation to profits or gains treated as received by the trustees of a scheme to which this section applies if or to the extent that those profits or gains represent accruals of interest (within the meaning of Chapter IV of Part II of that Act) which are treated as income in the accounts of the scheme..

(2)This section shall have effect in relation to distribution periods (within the meaning of section 354A of the Taxes Act) beginning on or after 6th April 1987.
