(2) In relation to the old tax year, the reference in step 4 in subsection (1) of that section to basic amounts relating to the person’s absolute interest in respect of which the person is liable to income tax for that year is to be taken as a reference to the amount deemed to have been paid to that person as income for that year in respect of that interest by virtue of section 696 of ICTA.

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies if one or more of the absolute interests referred to in section 671(1) (successive absolute interests) was held in one or more old tax years.

(4) The reference in section 671(2)(b) to the basic amounts relating to any previous such interest includes a reference to the amounts deemed to have been paid to the previous holder as income for the old tax years in respect of that interest by virtue of section 696 of ICTA.

(5) Sub-paragraph (6) applies if any of the limited interests referred to in section 672(1)(d) (successive interests: assumed income entitlement of holder of absolute interest following limited interest) was held in one or more old tax years.

(7) In the case of a UK estate, references in this paragraph to the amounts deemed to have been paid are references to the amounts that would be deemed to have been paid apart from sections 695(4)(a) and 696(4) of ICTA (grossing up).
