Accumulation limits for charitable trusts: excess uninvested income becomes taxable unless fully invested in prescribed government securities. A trust may retain a limited portion of its income tax-exemptly, but if it accumulates beyond that limit it must invest the entire unspent balance, including the otherwise exempt portion, in prescribed Government securities and comply with notice and filing requirements; failure to meet these protective-investment conditions renders the whole accumulated amount taxable when the accumulation ceases to satisfy those conditions. Trust 'income' for these rules is the trust's commercial/book income as shown in accounts adjusted for relevant appropriations and capital debits, while capital donations are excluded from the accumulation limit except contributions from other trusts treated as income.
