947 Aggregate income of the estate

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter the aggregate income of the estate for a tax year is the total of the income and amounts specified in subsection (2), but excluding the income specified in subsection (5). (2) The income and amounts are— (a) the income of the deceased's personal representatives in that capacity which is charged to United Kingdom income tax for the tax year, (b) the income of the deceased's personal representatives in that capacity on which such tax would have been charged for the tax year if— (i) it was income of a UK resident ..., and (ii) it was income from a source in the United Kingdom, (c) any amount of income treated as arising to the personal representatives under section 410(4) (stock dividends) of ITTOIA that would be charged to income tax under Chapter 5 of Part 4 of that Act if income arising to personal representatives were so charged (see section 411 of that Act), (d) in a case where section 419(2) of ITTOIA applies (release of loans to participator in close company: loans and advances to persons who die), the amount that would be charged to income tax under Chapter 6 of Part 4 of that Act apart from that section, and (e) any amount that would have been treated as income of the personal representatives in that capacity under section 466 of ITTOIA if the condition in section 466(2) had been met (gains from contracts for life insurance). (3) In calculating the amount of the income within subsection (2)(a), any allowable deductions are to be taken into account. (4) In calculating the amount of the income within subsection (2)(b), any deductions which would be allowable if the income had been charged to United Kingdom income tax are to be deducted from the full amount of the income actually arising in the tax year. (5) The excluded income is— (a) income to which any person is or may become entitled under a specific disposition, and (b) income from property devolving on the personal representatives otherwise than as assets for payment of the deceased's debts. (6) In subsection (5)(a) “specific disposition” means a gift of specific property under a will, including— (a) the disposition of personal chattels by section 46 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (c. 23) (succession on intestacy), and (b) any disposition which under the law of another country has a similar effect to a gift of specific property by will under the law of England and Wales, but excluding real property included in a residuary gift made by will by a specific or general description of it or, in Scotland, heritable estate included in such a gift.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
