(1)This section applies where—
(a)there is income (“the distributed income”) arising to trustees in any year of assessment which (before being distributed) is income of a person (“the beneficiary”) other than the trustees;
(b)the trustees have any expenses in that year (“the management expenses”) which are properly chargeable to that income or would be so chargeable but for any express provisions of the trust; and
(c)the beneficiary is not liable to income tax on an amount of the distributed income (“the untaxed income”) by reason wholly or partly of—
(i)his not having been resident in the United Kingdom, or
(ii)his being deemed under any arrangements under section 788, or any arrangements having effect by virtue of that section, to have been resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom.
(2)Where this section applies, there shall be disregarded in computing the income of the beneficiary for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts such part of the management expenses as bears the same proportion to all those expenses as the untaxed income bears to the distributed income.
(3)For the purpose of computing the proportion mentioned in subsection (2) above, the amounts of the distributed income and of the untaxed income shall not, in either case, include so much (if any) of the income as is equal to the amount of income tax, or of any foreign tax, chargeable on the trustees (by way of deduction or otherwise) in respect of that income.
(4)In subsection (3) above, “foreign tax” means any tax which is—
(a)of a similar character to income tax; and
(b)imposed by the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
(5)For the purposes of this section, where the income tax chargeable on any person is limited in accordance with section 128 of the M1Finance Act 1995 (limit on income chargeable on non-residents), the income of that person on which he is not liable to tax by reason of not having been resident in the United Kingdom shall be taken to include so much of any income of his as—
(a)is excluded income within the meaning of that section; and
(b)is not income which is treated for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) of that section as income the tax on which is deducted at source.]
