            A. A tax required to be paid by a trustee based on receipts allocated to income shall be paid from income.

            B. A tax required to be paid by a trustee based on receipts allocated to principal shall be paid from principal, even if the tax is denominated an income tax by the taxing authority.

            C. A tax required to be paid by a trustee on the trust's share of a juridical person's taxable income shall be paid as follows:

            (1) From income to the extent that receipts from the juridical person are allocated only to income.

            (2) From principal to the extent that receipts from the juridical person are allocated only to principal.

            (3) Proportionately from principal and income to the extent that receipts from the juridical person are allocated to both income and principal.

            D. After applying the provisions of this Section, the trustee shall adjust income or principal receipts to the extent that the trust's taxes are reduced because the trust receives a deduction for payments made to a beneficiary.
