income tax query

income tax query

Didn't find your answer?

an individual has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Friends have set up a bank account/trust to fundraise for him. Will any payments made to him as charitable donations from the trust be subject to income tax on his behalf.?

I suspect not as he has not earnt the income, but can somebody confirm?!

Not a charity
The trust, being for one individual will not be a charity.

The taxation in the hands of the individual will depend upon the nature of the trust. I doubt that there is a trust deed and so this is likely to be a bare trust with income taxed on the individual but I am only guessing at the nature of the trust.
