The term does not include a payment subject to section 3359 of this title, resources subject to section 3361 of this title, timber subject to section 3362 of this title, an activity subject to section 3364 of this title, an asset subject to section 3365 of this title, or any asset for which the trustee establishes a reserve for depreciation under section 3373 of this title.

(b) A trustee shall allocate to income 10 percent of the receipts from a liquidating asset and the balance to principal. (Added 2011, No. 114 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
