Corporation Tax Act 2009

952 Applicable rate for determining assumed income entitlement (UK estates)

(1) The applicable rate by reference to which income tax on a company’s share of the residuary income of the estate is calculated for the purposes of step 2 of the calculation in section 948(1) depends on the rate at which income tax is borne by the aggregate income of the estate for the tax year in question.

(2) If the aggregate income of the estate all bears income tax at the same rate, the applicable rate is that rate.

(3) If different parts of the aggregate income of the estate bear income tax at different rates, the applicable rate is the rate that applies to the income to which the company’s share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

(4) If different rates apply to different parts of that income, each of those rates is the applicable rate that applies to the corresponding part of the income to which the company’s share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

(5) For the purposes of this section, if there is more than one person with an absolute interest in the residue of the estate, such apportionments of parts of the aggregate income of the estate bearing income tax at different rates are to be made as are just and reasonable for their different interests.

(6) Section 650(1) of ITTOIA 2005 (absolute interests) applies for the purposes of subsection (5) in the case of any person who is not a company chargeable to corporation tax.
