No trust tax returns submitted for 11 years

No trust tax returns submitted for 11 years

Didn't find your answer?

We have a new client who has been reporting the rental income from a property in trust onto her own tax return for the past 11 years.

It does not look as though a trust tax return has ever been submitted so I am assuming that HMRC do not even know that this trust exists.

I know that I need to look at the personal tax returns and the trust tax returns back to 2002/2003 and look at the possibility of the 10 year charge dependent upon the value of the estate at that time.

I would just like to bounce this around to you all just in case I may be missing something.

Thank you  in advance

What type of trust is it?

If it's an interest in possession trust the rental income could have been mandated directly to her as beneficiary.

Perhaps it's just a bare trust anyway. Have you seen the trust deed?
