(ii) if greater, the amount by which such expenses exceed the amount of such expenses which may be paid out of the settlement's income.

(3) Where—

(a) a loan is made to the trustees of the settlement by the settlor or the trustees of a settlement connected with the settlor, and

(b) the loan is on arm's length terms, but

• “deemed domiciled” has the same meaning as in paragraph 5A;

• “official rate”, in relation to interest, means the rate of interest applicable from time to time under section 178 of the Finance Act 1989 for the purposes of Chapter 7 of Part 3 of ITEPA 2003.]
