Trusts

Trusts are a way of managing your assets, so that you can remain in charge of their distribution during your life time and beyond. Setting up a trust (or trusts) allows you to:

Control and protect family assets;

Provide an income for your beneficiaries;

Reduce inheritance tax.

There are various types of trusts based on how the capital and the income gained from it are distributed. Each type of trust is taxed differently.

We offer specialist advice on the tax and accounting matters related to trusts, such as:

Recommend what type, of trust is best suited to your needs.

Assist you with income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax on your trust, ensuring you pay the correct amount and take advantage of all available reductions.

Ensure all assets are accounted for by accurately recording the original value of your assets and the current position of the trust assets.

Record all transactions in the trust account including income and distributions.

Our trusts advice is focussed on effective estate planning, so you can protect and preserve your wealth for yourself and your beneficiaries.

For complete peace of mind when it comes to managing your assets, our advice on trusts can be combined with advice on inheritance tax, remuneration planning and capital gains tax, as well as the preparation of your personal tax return.
