NEW AND EXPANDED TRUST REPORTING: It’s Here!
New rules aimed at providing more transparency on beneficial ownership of assets now require that more trusts (and estates) file tax returns.
These changes will catch many individuals and businesses that may not be aware of their trust-like relationships, exposing them to
potential penalties and other consequences for non-compliance. The rules become effective in 2023, with a filing deadline of April 2, 2024.
Unexpected exposure – bare trust arrangements
The rules have been expanded to include cases where a trust acts as an agent for its beneficiaries, commonly known as a bare trust. In such
instances, the person/entity listed as the owner of an asset is not the true beneficial owner; instead, they hold the asset on behalf of another
party.
