Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

Section 389: Authorised unit trust dividend distributions

1571.This section and the two sections that follow provide investors, who are liable to income tax, with the information required to determine their taxable income from the authorised unit trust (AUT). The tax provisions relevant to the AUT are not in this Act. This is because the AUT trustees are treated as a company liable to corporation tax under section 468(1)(a) of ICTA.

1572.This section is based on section 468J of ICTA which is part of the special tax rules for AUTs. For an outline of the treatment of investors in an AUT see the commentary on section 376.

1573.The amounts treated as dividends received by the investors are charged by section 383 and the provisions about tax credits or tax being treated as paid at sections 397 to 399 will apply as appropriate.
