Custodial accounts are taxed based on the income of the account. An investment account can earn income from dividends, bond payments, or buy selling stock. Custodial accounts have different tax rules than a brokerage account owned by an adult. The custodial account rate can depend on the tax rate of both the child and the adult who set up the custodial account.
