Understanding Trust Taxation
What is a Trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement where a person (the grantor or settlor) transfers assets to a trustee, who manages those assets for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Trusts can be created for various reasons, including managing assets, providing for family members, avoiding probate, or minimizing estate taxes.
Grantor/Settlor
The person who creates the trust and transfers assets into it
Trustee
The person or entity responsible for managing the trust assets
Beneficiary
The person or entity who benefits from the trust assets
For tax purposes, a trust is generally considered a separate entity that may need to file its own tax return. The specific tax requirements depend on the type of trust, the income it generates, and whether income is distributed to beneficiaries.
When a trust generates income, such as interest, dividends, or rental income, this income must be reported to the relevant tax authorities. The tax liability for trust income can fall on either the trust itself or the beneficiaries, depending on whether the income is retained by the trust or distributed to the beneficiaries.
