Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in each of the past five fiscal years, how much income tax has been asssed against beneficiaries of trusts, in respect of distributions of income made to those beneficiaries by trustees.

I regret that the information is not available. In most instances the trustees deduct income tax from the distributions they make.
