Legal Terms - Beneficial Interest
The entitlements of a beneficiary about the property that is being kept in trust for them. Taxation primarily focuses on the beneficial ownership of assets rather than their legal title. Therefore, if A's name is listed on the Land Registry certificate, but A is actually holding the land on behalf of C, D, and E, any income generated from the land will be attributed to C, D, and E for tax assessment purposes. Similarly, when the land is sold, C, D, and E will be liable for capital gains tax.
