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.
Hi Mathew. Thanks for meeting with us. I took your advice and have started on Property 101 and more than half way through. I now realise why you advised us to stay where we are and look for properties with land in Hamilton or Waiuku. Information, calculations and case studies in this book are priceless. I'm so glad you decided to write this book and managed to find time to do it. Thanks very much for this and for advising us to check with you should we need to. Thanks - Helen - July 2015
