Short Course: Taxation of Trusts
Overview
A trust is a legal relationship created by the founder of the trust. The founder places assets under the control of trustees for the benefit of beneficiaries of the trust or for a specific purpose.
Trusts are established for various reasons. If structured properly, a trust is a very effective tool that can be used for the following reasons:
Estate planning purposes: When a natural person passes away, estate duty is levied on all property and deemed property owned on the date of death. The estate duty rate is currently 20% on the value of the estate up to R30 million and 25% on the value of the estate in excess of R30 million. In an attempt to reduce estate duty, taxpayers can donate or sell or transfer assets to a trust so that the property is not owned by the deceased on the date of death and estate duty will, therefore, not be due on the assets so transferred.
Effective management or protection of assets – When assets are donated, sold or transferred to the trust, the trust assets are managed by one or more trustees for the benefit of beneficiaries.
