Hi hk1 K,
Most trusts do not pay Income Tax on income up to a tax-free amount (normally £500).
Tax is due on the full amount if the income is more than the tax-free amount.
The trust would declare the interest and pay the tax due and give your daughter a R185 statement of income from trusts.
Trusts and taxes
Your daughter would complete a Self Assessment tax return and include SA108, entering the values shown on the R185.
Any overpaid tax can then be refunded.
Please note that the HMRC online tax return does not cover the trust section.
Either a paper tax return or commercial tax return is required

A government gateway user ID and password is required for submitting a commercial tax return.
Thank you.
