CHAPTER 4 U.K. Taxation of income of exempt unauthorised unit trusts

Basis periods U.K.

11.—(1) The income of an exempt unauthorised unit trust for a tax year is taken to be the income of the exempt unauthorised unit trust arising in a basis period for the tax year.

(2) The general rule is that the basis period for a tax year [F3 (the current year)] for an exempt unauthorised unit trust is the period [F4 beginning immediately after the end of the basis period for the previous tax year and ending with the accounting date in the current year].

(3) The accounting date, in relation to a tax year, means—

(a) the date in the tax year to which accounts are drawn up, or

(b) if there are two or more such dates, the latest of them.

[F5 (3A) In the first tax year that a trust is an exempt unauthorised unit trust the basis period for the tax year is the period—

(a) beginning on the first day of the first period of account in respect of which the trust is approved under these Regulations as an exempt unauthorised unit trust, and

(b) ending with the accounting date in that year.]

(4) If there is no accounting date in the first tax year that the trust is an exempt unauthorised unit trust but there is an accounting date in the following tax year—

(a) there is no basis period for the first tax year (so that the trust has no income for that year), but

(b) the basis period for the following year is the period [F6 beginning on the first day of the first period of account in respect of which the trust is approved under these Regulations as an exempt unauthorised trust and] ending with the accounting date in that year.

(5) If there is no accounting date in the first two tax years that the trust is an exempt unauthorised unit trust—

(a) there is no basis period for [F7 those years] (so that the trust has no income for [F8 those years]), but

[F9 (b) the basis period for the third tax year that the trust is an exempt unauthorised unit trust is the period—

(i) beginning on the first day of the first period of account in respect of which the trust is approved under these Regulations as an exempt unauthorised unit trust, and

(ii) ending with the accounting date in that year.]

(6) Otherwise, if there is no accounting date in the tax year, the basis period is the period of 12 months beginning immediately after the end of the basis period for the previous tax year.

(7) If the basis period for a tax year does not coincide with a period of account of an exempt unauthorised unit trust, either of the steps in paragraph (8) must be taken if necessary in order to arrive at the amount of the income of the trust treated under regulation 14 as if it were accrued income profits arising in a basis period.

(8) The steps are—

(a) apportioning the income of a period of account to the parts of that period falling in different basis periods, and

(b) adding the income of a period of account (or part of a period) to the income of other periods of account (or parts),

and the steps must be taken by reference to the number of days in the periods concerned.

CHAPTER 5 U.K. Charge to tax on unit holders of exempt unauthorised unit trusts

Charge to tax on unit holders U.K.

15.—(1) Tax is charged on income treated as received by a unit holder from an exempt unauthorised unit trust in the tax year.

(2) For the purposes of this regulation, unit holders are treated as receiving income if an amount is shown in the trust's accounts for a period of account as income available for payment to them or for investment.

(3) The income is treated as received by a unit holder for a distribution period.

(4) To calculate the amount of the income treated as received by a unit holder for a distribution period, calculate the unit holder's share of the trust's available income by applying the formula—

where—

TAI is the total amount shown in the trust's accounts as income available for payment to unit holders or for investment,

R is the unit holder's rights, and

TR is all the unit holders' rights.

(5) The income for a distribution period is treated as received on the date or latest date provided by the terms of the trust for any distribution for the period, unless that date is more than 12 months after it ends.

(6) If—

(a) that date is more than 12 months after the distribution period ends, or

(b) no date is so provided,

the income for the period is treated as received on the last day of the period.

(7) If the terms of the trust provide for a period over which income from the investments subject to the trust is aggregated to ascertain the amount available for distribution to unit holders, the “distribution period” means—

(a) if the period is 12 months or less, that period, or

(b) if the period is more than 12 months, each successive period of 12 months within that period and any remaining period of less than 12 months.

(8) In any other case, the “distribution period” means successive periods of 12 months, the first of which begins with the day on which the trust was established.

CHAPTER 6 U.K. Relief for trustees of an exempt unauthorised unit trust

Relief for deemed payments by trustees of an exempt unauthorised unit trust U.K.

18.—(1) If the unit holders of an exempt unauthorised unit trust are treated as receiving income under regulation 15(2), the trustees are treated as making a deemed payment of the same amount on the final day of the period of account referred to in regulation 15(2).

(2) The trustees are entitled to relief for a tax year equal to the amount of the deemed payments treated as made in that year.

(3) The relief is given by deducting that amount in calculating the trustees' net income for the tax year (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007 (calculation of income tax liability) M5 ).

(4) The total amount of the relief for a tax year must not exceed the amount of the trustees' modified net income for the tax year.

(5) If there is an excess, that excess is to be treated as if it were a deemed payment in the basis period for the following tax year.

(6) In this regulation “modified net income” has the meaning given by section 1025 of ITA 2007 but as if for subsection (2)(c) there were substituted—

“(c) any relief to which the person may be entitled under regulation 18 of the Unauthorised Unit Trusts (Tax) Regulations 2013,”.
