This revenue procedure provides a safe harbor under which the Internal Revenue Service will treat an Indian tribe as the grantor and owner of a trust for the receipt of gaming revenues under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. §§ 2701–2721) (IGRA) for the benefit of minors or legal incompetents. In addition, under this revenue procedure, beneficiaries of an IGRA trust will not be required to include amounts in gross income when transferred to, or earned by, the IGRA trust under the economic benefit doctrine. Rather, beneficiaries will include amounts in income when actually or constructively received.
