2019 Trust Workshop

Trusts and Beneficiaries Loan accounts, foreign dividends, and deductible expenses

Overview

The 2018 Taxation Amendments have created an entirely new set of limitations when using local and offshore trusts for tax planning. In this seminar we will focus on these far-reaching changes and their impact.

A further amendment to section 7C, which causes an annual donation to arise from low- or interest-free loans to trusts and companies, has made the section more onerous for companies held by trusts. New rules in respect of debt waivers will ensure the tax-free annual reduction of loans to trusts by R100 000 is no longer possible. Detailed disclosure in the Income Tax Return for a Trust (ITR12T) and Income Tax Return for Individuals (ITR12) allows SARS to accurately assess the deduction, allocation and disclosure of expenses in the hands of the trust and beneficiaries of the trust.

The tax consequences of foreign dividends flowing into offshore trusts and back to South African tax residents have fundamentally changed and the impact of these changes on specific offshore tax structures must be understood.

In this seminar we will not revisit the basic taxation rules for trusts in great detail, but will look specifically at the application of those rules and amendments to them.
