(b) The tax imposed by subdivision (a) shall apply in the case of any trust which is exempt, except as provided in this article, from taxation under this part by reason of Section 17631 and which, if it were not for such exemption, would be subject to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 17731) relating to estates, trusts, beneficiaries, and decedents.
