A loan and a repayment of a loan are payments of a capital sum1.
Where a loan to a settlor has given rise to liability under these provisions and the loan is subsequently repaid in full, no charge (in respect of any part of the loan which has not been matched with undistributed income) can arise in a tax year following that in which the loan is repaid2. This does not apply if only part of the loan is repaid, and repayment of the loan does not give rise to repayment of tax paid in respect of the loan.
