About This Course

Although trust taxation administration and compliance seems simple and straightforward, nothing could be further from the truth.

This course will look at trust disclosures and trustee obligations in a holistic and practical way.We will cover the trust disclosure rules for Complying (NZ domestic) and Foreign Trusts.

Before deciding on what obligations there are, it is necessary to determine:

  • What is a trust from a tax perspective? (For example: discretionary, blind, bare, and fixed trusts, estates and estate trusts, constructive trusts)
  • What is the status or classification of the trust?
  • Where is the income sourced?
  • Where are the beneficiaries resident?

This course will work through these using common examples and will then work through the disclosure obligations, registration requirements, and return filing obligations the trustees have. We will also look at withholding obligations and reporting obligations to the IRD.

 

Suitable for: Intermediate to senior accountants and lawyers who advise on matters for trust and estate clients.
