If a UK resident individual receives a capital payment from a non-resident trust there is usually a raft of anti-avoidance legislation that bites under the "transfer of assets abroad" rules.
But if the non-resident trust is a settlor-interested trust, the settlor being UK resident who personally declares all trust income and gains on his own return, does that circumvent the anti-avoidance legislation that would otherwise apply to the beneficiary?
Thanks
With kind regards

With a non-resident settlor-interested trust, if there was not a charge under the settlements legislation, all of the income would be taxable on the settlor under the TOAA legislation, in any event. That would trump a charge under the capital payments leg.
However neither provision applies where the income concerned is taxable on the individual by virtue of a provision outside the TOAA legislation. ITA 2007, sections 721(3C) and 728(2A).
