Can anyone explain equalisation?

If I buy an accumulating tracker fund for £100 and sell it for £110, the end-of-year tax voucher might say: Interest £1, Equalisation £4. How much counts towards income and how much counts towards capital gains?

The explanations that I have seen make no sense when equalisation exceeds income.

The £1 and £4 count as income, £5 in capital gain.

It's because part if the unit price included dividends on the shares comprising it. That is income and thus taxed as income.
