7 U.K. Where a custodian releases to or for the benefit of, or to the personal representatives of, any person who has ceased to be an enemy or has died everything in the custodian’s hands to which that person or his personal representatives, as the case may be, would, but for the operation of the law relating to trading with the enemy, be entitled—

(a) any income which, but for the operation of that law, would have belonged to that person or to some person under whom he claims, shall thereafter be treated for all the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as having been income of the person whose income it would have been for those purposes but for the operation of the said law;

(b) all income tax (including surtax) paid by deduction or otherwise by a custodian in respect of any such income shall thereafter be treated as having been paid by, and all reliefs allowed to a custodian in respect of any such income shall thereafter be treated as having been allowed to, the last-mentioned person; and

(c) appeals may thereafter be brought by the last-mentioned person or his personal representatives against any assessment (including any assessment to surtax) made on a custodian in respect of any such income as if the assessment had been made on him.
