window, there are three radio buttons, one for each of the selections available:

  • Accrued —

The RIT displayed for Trusts excludes beneficiary tax, so may be a different value to the amount of RIT shown in the Return Summary section of the Summary view.

When you close the calculator, all three amounts are displayed on the Tax Manager Summary page. The amount that is displayed in bold text is the amount that is selected in the interest calculator, and is the amount used in tax notices. The override amount will only display if you have selected Override in the calculator, otherwise it displays as zero.
