TSEM8145 - Trust management expenses: 바카라 사이트˜properly chargeable to income바카라 사이트™ in general trust law: HMRC v Peter Clay: what should be charged to income
The Court of Appeal decision in HMRC v Peter Clay states that 바카라 사이트˜under the general law, it is only those expenses which are incurred exclusively for the benefit of the income beneficiaries that may be charged against income.바카라 사이트™ So if an expense benefits capital in any way, it cannot be charged to income.
The decision goes on to say 바카라 사이트˜if it can be shown that an identified or identifiable part of an expense is for work carried out for the benefit of the income beneficiaries alone, then that part is properly chargeable to income.바카라 사이트™
So the first step in charging against income is to identify an expense that has been incurred for the benefit of the income beneficiaries only, and that does not benefit capital.
If the trustees have recorded such expenses separately, they can easily be identified.
