that year is a split year as respects the individual, and

d

in that year, the only period when the individual is a trustee of the settlement falls wholly within the overseas part of the year.

2DB

Subsection (2DA) is subject to subsection (2D) and, accordingly, an individual who is treated under subsection (2DA) as not resident is, in spite of that, to be regarded as resident whenever the individual acts as mentioned in subsection (2D).
