This video post outlines the government's new trust disclosure rules: what they are, and who they apply to. The new rules require trusts to make additional disclosures when filing income tax returns unless the trust meets certain exemptions. Non-exempt trusts need to prepare financial statements with a profit loss account and balance sheet, or a statement of financial position. Plus details of any settlements going back to formation, and details of beneficiary distributions. Any key roles that have changed within the trust must also be disclosed annually.
We started not knowing what we can do, how to do it and most importantly - how to get there. By doing this journey we changed along the way. The knowledge is overwhelming and its exciting to scratch the surface. We now have a better understanding along side a team of experts to achieve our goals. Thanks GRA for sharing your knowledge (and time) to help us join the GRA family. We look forward to our future with GRA as we grow and develop to reach our goals - Julia and Simon, June 2018
