Section 483: Sums paid by personal representatives to trustees
1408.This section concerns the treatment of sums paid by personal representatives to trustees. It is based on section 686(6) of ICTA.
1409.The section applies if personal representatives have received income or other amounts which would have been liable at the special trust rates had they been trustees, and they pay a sum to trustees representing income. In such a case, the sum is treated as income of the trustees and as having borne tax at the rate referred to in section 663(1) of ITTOIA.
1410.Following its substitution by FA 2006, section 686A of ICTA no longer includes the provision that specifically applied this rule to receipts within section 686A. But the reference in section 686(6) of ICTA to income to which section 686 applies includes receipts deemed to be such income as a result of section 686A. Accordingly, it is made explicit that this rule applies to all receipts within this Chapter.
