Covenant income: Meaning of deed of covenant

For tax purposes, deeds of covenant are classed as either
1) charitable or
2) non-charitable.

Covenants set up to discharge a parental contribution are always non-charitable. The decision maker should treat income from charitable deeds of covenant as charitable or voluntary payments as in DMG39255.

Non-charitable covenants set up on or after 15.3.88 do not qualify for any tax relief.
