*** Fully Booked*** Making Sense of Trusts – tax & tax planning – a back to basics course with Bob Trunchion
Date: 15 April 2015 09:30 to 12:30
Type: Course, Legal and Regulatory, Tax
Organiser: Tyne and Wear
Many accountants have a fear of trusts. This is not unnatural as they can appear complex. Accordingly they and their clients can miss out on some really useful structures to help protect family wealth and that can achieve tax efficiencies. This is even more important as HMRC clamps down on many areas of tax planning. Delegates need to know a bit about tax but no knowledge about trusts will be assumed as the course is aimed at demystifying the subject matter leaving delegates confident in advising their clients about trusts. Unfortunately, whilst the taxation of Scottish Trusts is similar to that of English and Welsh ones, the trust law of Scotland is very different and cannot be covered as well in just a half day course.
Content will include:
- Definition of a trust
- Types of trust
- Relevant trust law including role and duties of the trustees
- Overview of the taxation of trusts
- Taxation of trust income and gains
- Completion of basic trust tax returns
- Payments to beneficiaries
- Basic calculation of trust IHT and how it is being “simplified”
- Why you should use trusts – a few simple examples
- The use of alternative structures instead of trusts to achieve similar results
Thinking “outside the box” to achieve results
