A key message upon Beneficiary income for 2019 income year. Due to COVID-19 trustees with a tax agent may have missed the 31 March 2020 deadline to make a payment to a beneficiary in order to treat an amount as beneficiary income for the 2019 income year. The Commissioner of Inland Revenue has announced that she will treat any payment made to a beneficiary on or before 15 July 2020 as being made in time to be beneficiary income for the 2019 income year if the trustees were unable to make payment to a beneficiary by 31 March 2020 because of either COVID-19 or the COVID-19 restrictions put in place by the Government.
