     (4) In subsection (3) "relevant foreign distribution" means any distribution of a non-UK resident company which-

    (a) the amount of that income taken into account under section 633 in relation to that sum in any previous year or years,
 
    (b) the amount of that income taken into account under section 633 in relation to any other capital sums paid to the settlor in any year before that sum was paid,

640    Grossing-up of deemed income

 whichever is the least.
 
     (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(c)-

     (3) A capital sum to which subsection (2) applies is treated as having been paid to the settlor in the tax year in which it is paid so far as the amount of the sum falls within the total of the associated payment or payments made up to the end of the year.
 
     (4) A capital sum to which subsection (2) applies is treated as having been paid to the settlor in the following year so far as the amount of the sum-

    (a) references to the property comprised in a settlement include only property originating from the settlor, and
 
    (b) references to income arising under the settlement include only income originating from the settlor.
     (4) For the purposes of sections 629, 631 and 632 only the following are taken into account in relation to a child of the settlor-

    (c) so much of any property which represents both property so provided and other property as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, represents the property so provided.
     (2) References in section 644 to income originating from a settlor are references to-
 
 
    (a) income from property originating from the settlor, and
 
    (b) income provided directly or indirectly by the settlor.
     (3) In this section references to property or income which a settlor has provided directly or indirectly-

     (4) In this section references to property which represents other property include references to property which represents accumulated income from the other property.
 
 
Other supplementary provisions
646    Adjustments between settlor and trustees etc.
 
     (1) A settlor is entitled to recover from-
 
 
    (a) any trustee, or
 
    (b) any other person to whom the income is payable in connection with the settlement,
 the amount of any tax paid by the settlor which became chargeable on the settlor under section 624 or 629.
 
     (2) For this purpose, the settlor may require the Inland Revenue to provide the settlor with a certificate specifying-
 
 
    (a) the amount of income in respect of which the settlor has so paid tax, and
 
    (b) the amount of tax so paid.
     (3) A certificate provided under subsection (2) is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.
 
     (4) Subsection (5) applies if-
 
 
    (a) a settlor obtains a repayment of tax in respect of an allowance or relief, and
 
    (b) the repayment is in excess of the amount of the repayment to which the settlor would have been entitled but for sections 624 to 632.
     (5) The settlor must pay an amount equal to the excess to-
 
 
    (a) the trustee, or
 
    (b) the other person to whom the income is payable by virtue of or as a result of the settlement.
     (6) If there are two or more such persons, the amount must be apportioned among them as the case may require.
 
     (7) Any question as to-
 
 
    (a) the amount of a payment under subsection (5), or
 
    (b) an apportionment to be made under subsection (6),
 is to be decided by the General Commissioners whose decision is final.
 
     (8) Nothing in sections 624 to 632 is to be read as excluding a charge to tax on the trustees as persons by whom any income is received.
 
647    Power to obtain information

648    Income arising under a settlement
 
     (1) References in this Chapter to income arising under a settlement include-

    (b) any income which would have been so chargeable if it had been received in the United Kingdom by a person domiciled, resident and ordinarily resident there.
     (2) But this is subject to the rule in subsection (3) which applies if, in a tax year, the settlor is-
 
 
    (a) not domiciled in the United Kingdom,
 
    (b) not UK resident, or
 
    (c) not ordinarily UK resident.
     (3) The rule is that references in this Chapter to income arising under a settlement do not include income arising under the settlement in that tax year in respect of which the settlor, if the settlor were actually entitled to it, would not be chargeable to income tax by deduction or otherwise because of the settlor not being domiciled in the United Kingdom, UK resident or ordinarily UK resident.
 
     (4) Subsection (5) qualifies the rule in subsection (3) if such income is remitted to the United Kingdom in circumstances such that, if the settlor were actually entitled to the income when remitted, the settlor would be chargeable to income tax because of being UK resident.
 
     (5) The income is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as arising under the settlement in the year in which it is remitted.
