480 Meaning of “accumulated or discretionary income”

(1) Income is accumulated or discretionary income so far as— (a) it must be accumulated, or (b) it is payable at the discretion of the trustees or any other person, and it is not excluded by subsection (3). (2) The cases covered by subsection (1)(b) include cases where the trustees have, or any other person has, any discretion over one or more of the following matters— (a) whether, or the extent to which, the income is to be accumulated, (b) the persons to whom the income is to be paid, and (c) how much of the income is to be paid to any person. (3) Income is excluded for the purposes of subsection (1) so far as— (a) before being distributed, it is the income of any person other than the trustees, (b) it is income from property within subsection (4), or (c) it is income from service charges which are paid in respect of dwellings in the United Kingdom and are held on trust. (4) Property is within this subsection if it— (a) is held for the purposes of a superannuation fund to which section 615(3) of ICTA (superannuation funds relating to undertakings outside the UK) applies, but (b) is not held as a member of a property investment LLP. (5) In subsection (3)(c) “service charges” has the meaning given by section 18 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (but as if that section also applied in relation to dwellings in Scotland and Northern Ireland).

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
