Trust Formation
If you’re looking to set up a trust arrangement to run your business, buy a property, or for other reasons, then there are often several facets that you’ll be unaware of. Forming a trust is often complex as compared to other simple business structures like companies or partnerships. Overseeing the complexity of forming and managing a trust, it’s worthwhile to notice that there are numerous benefits of trading under a trust structure.
The primary benefit is Tax minimisation but is not limited to is that the optimum manner during which the trust is taxed. The profits are distributed to its beneficiaries in a flexible manner and that they get taxed consistent with individual tax rates and hence generally there’s zero tax payable for the trust.
Trust may be a legal relationship between the Trustee and its Beneficiary, therefore the Beneficiary where the trustee operates for the advantage of the beneficiaries, the profit is distributed among the beneficiaries but they do not have any control over the operations of the trust. The role of a trustee is extremely challenging, it’s vital to know the legal obligations and duties of being a Trustee. Another crucial aspect while forming a trust is to know the deed of trust since the business can operate only supported by the conditions outlined in its deed.
The right trust type is often selected by the idea of your business needs.

A primary feature of a unit investment trust is that it can function sort of like a Company where the shareholders are replaced by unitholders. The transfer of profits to beneficiaries is proportionate to the units held by each beneficiary.
