Vermont § 3356 - Obligation to pay money

§ 3356. Obligation to pay money

• (a) An amount received as interest, whether determined at a fixed, variable, or floating
  rate, on a bond or an obligation to pay money to the fiduciary shall be allocated
  to income. (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this section, a fiduciary shall allocate
  to principal any gain or loss realized upon the sale or maturity of any bond or obligation
  to pay money to the fiduciary, regardless of how such bond or other obligation was
  acquired. (c) A fiduciary shall allocate to income the difference between inventory value or cost
  and the amount realized upon sale or maturity, if greater, for bonds or other obligations
  that do not bear interest, regardless of how or when such bond or other obligation
  was acquired. (d) For bonds or other obligations that are acquired by a fiduciary subsequent to the
  time the principal was established and whose cost is greater than their par or maturity
  value, the fiduciary shall amortize periodically out of income the premium paid and,
  upon sale or maturity, shall allocate to principal any gain or loss realized thereon. (e) This section does not apply to a bond or other obligation to which section 3359, 3360, 3361, 3362, 3364, or 3365 of this title applies. (Added 2011, No. 114 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
