LE 4: Trustees for minor beneficiaries

You could also call this:

“Special tax rules for trustees managing income for young beneficiaries”

When you’re a trustee of a trust and you have a tax credit under [section LE 1], this rule applies if the trust has a minor who gets income from it. The minor’s income is called beneficiary income.

If [section HC 7(2)] applies, you’re treated as if you’re getting the minor’s beneficiary income yourself. This means you’re seen as the beneficiary instead of the trustee for this income.
