Trust for school fees

Trust for school fees

Didn't find your answer?

A client has been advised by others doing the same (!!) to set up a trust fund, pay their children a salary into the trust, and the trust then pays school fees.

Anyone know any more about it?

Not sure how a salary from the company can be justified to HMRC in this situation?

Or am I missing something?

I have heard about this. I have nothing to offer, sorry. I'll watch this thread with interest though.

I aim to do the following:
Employ my daughter to model on a company brochure. She will earn fees but I will not pay them to her as she is 7 years old. I will pay them into an accumulation and maintenance trust with education and development as the objects. This trust will pay school fees. There will be tax but limited I think.

Have you thought about putting your house in your company too? Seems to be the idea of 2017.
