Commentary on Sections

Part 5: Miscellaneous income

Chapter 6: Beneficiaries’ income from estates in administration
Section 654: Estate income: limited interests in residue

2506.This section deals with estate income relating to limited interests. It is based on section 695 of ICTA.

2507.The section sets out the basis on which estate income is treated as arising in a tax year for limited interests in residue. The section reflects the need to deal with tax years before the final tax year. Also, a limited interest might cease on the death of the beneficiary before the final tax year so that situation has to be provided for.
