Citing articles etc does not count as legislative support.
I would add that your article/conference references have no relevance whatsoever to the current poster's questions and situation. They are only of relevance where the trust is a non-UK resident trust and irrelevant where the trust is UK resident as is presumably the situation here (ie there is no evidence to suggest otherwise).
ITA 2007 s 493 which you cite as legislative support for your views is also irrelevant. The section only sets out under what conditions ss 494 and 495 are in point. The section deals with payments by a discretionary trust where the payment is treated for income tax purposes as income of the recipient (Condition A) or the payment is to a minor child of the settlor (and is treated as income of the settlor under ITTOIA 2005 s 629) (Condition B).
Neither A nor B apply here. What the beneficiary receives is a loan (not a discretionary payment).
The fact that "payment" is defined to include "payment in money's worth" (493(5)) is again irrelevant here.
Unfortunately, a disadvantage of the Forum is that those responding have to make assumptions where the post is vague or ambiguous and often all the facts are not provided. Capital sums made to a settlor (including a loan/repayment of a loan) by a trust can precipitate income tax charges but the manner of charge depends upon "undistributed available income" [ITTOIA 2005 s 633]. There is no reason to believe from the post this is the case here.
