Product Information
Trusts attract high SARS attention, and even small errors in tax returns can trigger audits and disputes. Many problems arise because trust income and distributions are misunderstood or poorly reported.
This session focuses on trust tax returns in practice. It explains how income is taxed, how distributions affect beneficiaries, and where reporting errors commonly occur. The session also looks at documentation and record-keeping issues that cause problems.
Delegates will leave with a clearer understanding of how to complete trust returns correctly, reduce audit risk, and protect themselves from ongoing trust-related disputes.
