Overview

The South African Revenue Service has signaled increased scrutiny of trust structures. As a result, modifications have been made to the ITR12T. Given that trusts serve as the taxpayer of last resort, it's imperative to understand the distinct and intricate nature of this unique "animal".

2. What are the different tax types and risks associated with trust structures? 
3. How do the recent amendments to the Trust Property Control Act affect trusts?
