FAQ
A testamentary trust (a trust established by will after death) is subject to tax at graduated income tax rates. Conversely, an inter vivos trust (a trust created during a settlor's lifetime) is taxed at the highest marginal tax rate applicable to individuals (currently 43.7% in BC).
The trust can also be used to reduce estate tax liabilities and ensure professional management of the assets. A disadvantage of a testamentary trust is that it does not avoid probatethe legal process of distributing assets through the court.
A testamentary trust is set up in a person's will and starts upon their death. It holds and protects all, or some, of the person's assets such as property and investments. The trust looks after the assets for the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are the people or organisations that will benefit from the trust.
How does Testamentary Trust Taxation Work? Testamentary Trusts are taxed as a whole, though beneficiaries will not be forced to pay taxes on distributions from the Trust. Note that you could be responsible for the capital gains tax, depending on your state.
Trust beneficiaries must pay taxes on income and other distributions that they receive from the trust. Trust beneficiaries don't have to pay taxes on returned principal from the trust's assets. IRS forms K-1 and 1041 are required for filing tax returns that receive trust disbursements.
Since the income earned within a testamentary trust is taxed on a separate tax return at graduated tax rates, an income- splitting opportunity arises for your beneficiaries. For example, let's assume an adult child is in the top marginal tax bracket of approximately 46% (top marginal tax rate varies by province).
The adult pays the top marginal tax rate on their non-inheritance income. the beneficiaries of the testamentary trust include three. the low income rebate applies to the distributions to minors and. the inheritance earns income of $60,000 per annum.
Testamentary trusts are discretionary trusts established in Wills, that allow the trustees of each trust to decide, from time to time, which of the nominated beneficiaries (if any) may receive the benefit of the distributions from that trust for any given period.
How does it save tax? A testamentary trust allows the person who controls it to split the income generated by the trust between family members. Importantly, children who receive income from a testamentary trust are taxed at adult tax rates, instead of penalty rates (up to 66%) which apply to other types of trusts.
