Trusts
Trusts are often used for estate planning in South Africa. The specific statutory provisions governing the taxation of trusts require expert knowledge of both Trust and Tax legislation.
Recent and ongoing changes in Tax legislation relating to Trusts have resulted in the administration of Trusts evolving into a very specialised field, one that trustees and beneficiaries often have little to no knowledge of.
Simple questions that arise:
- Does the Trust have its own bank account?
- Do the trustees have meetings annually?
- Are records kept of all documents, meetings, and decisions?
- Is the Trust older than 5 years?
- Does the Trust have an independent trustee in office?
- Are assets managed in accordance with the provision of the Trust Deed?
- Is the Trust’s tax return submitted every year?
Answers to these questions may prove vital in ensuring compliance. With the help of our dedicated, and experienced team, we will help ensure that your Trust is compliant.
