A trust is a legal relationship between an entity (person, company, etc) who holds the property assets for and on behalf of another entity (person or company, etc), known as a beneficiary. The relationship between the parties is governed by a document known as a trust deed. Whilst a trust is not a separate legal entity, it still must lodge an income tax return and be registered for tax.
- The trust provides asset protection for the beneficiaries.
- If the trust is set up correctly, the trust can limit the liability or risk of the beneficiaries who operate the business in the trust.
- That is, the trusts can potentially separate the control of an asset from the owner of the asset and can therefore protect the income or assets of the beneficiaries in the family group.
- A discretionary or non-fixed trust can provide the flexibility to distribute the income and capital of the trust in the most tax effective manner for the beneficiaries. This is due to the fact that once the income or capital is distributed to the beneficiaries, they are then liable to pay tax on that particular income at their own individual marginal rates.
- Beneficiaries of the trusts are generally not liable for the debts of the trust.
- The trust can operate a business and be used in an active manner or it can be used for investment purposes and hold assets.
- The ultimate owners or beneficiaries of the trust are protected from disclosure in any case where the legal owners are required to be noted in legal documentation.
Australia recognizes the following different types of trusts:
- Family trust: Family trusts are relatively easy to set up and give trustees the discretion to decide who receives distributions, and how often payouts occur.
- Unit trust: Unit trust divides the trust property into units. Each beneficiary owns a given number of those units, and at the end of each year, he or she receives a distribution from the trust, based on the number of units held.
- Hybrid trust: Hybrid trust combines characteristics of both Family and Unit Trusts, whereby the trustee has the right to distribute trust income and capital among beneficiaries – like Family Trusts. However the income and capital is proportionally distributed – like Unit Trusts, based on the number of units each beneficiary holds.
The cost of establishing a family trust is relatively low. A trust generally can cost between $900 and $2,000 in legal documentation.
Our trust establishment service costs $990 including GST. This is separate to the deed stamping costs of the state or territory you establish your trust in, as well as any associated lawyer fees for deed stamping.
