How to calculate estate income tax

Resident-beneficiary treatment of estate income requires the relevant distribution timing conditions.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Key requirements

The legal personal representative rate is 17% from YA 2010. From YA 2024, income must be received by, distributed to or applied for resident beneficiaries in the same calendar year it is derived to use the described beneficiary treatment. Earlier YAs have a different timing rule, extending to the specified following March date. Income already taxed at estate level is not taxed again merely when later distributed. Keep income-year and distribution dates distinct and do not apply the old extended window to a current-year distribution.
