New Trust Disclosure Rules

4588

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.

Testimonials
The seminar last night was brilliant. We ourselves are seasoned investors. We are already doing it. We are also clients of GRA. Have been so for over 10 years. Last nights seminar was affirming and I have encouraged younger members (adults in their 20s) of our family to attend. I am feeling so excited about my portfolio and the Auckland property market. I will go on to GRA books and order the two books Matthew promoted. - Kristine, April 2018
