What are trust accounts?

Trusts are commonly used in estate planning to protect the value of assets from inheritance tax. The assets placed into trust are managed by Trustees for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Trust accounts are an annual financial summary of these assets and are used to help manage the trust fund, and also to report to HMRC the financial position so that any trust tax can be calculated. Assets which a trust fund can hold include:

• Cash;
• Property;
• Stocks;
• Bonds; and
• Businesses.

Why use a trust accountant?

With any sort of accounting, individuals need to be aware of the taxes which may be due. Trusts can have differing rates of tax, so it is important to be aware of how the trust’s wealth can be affected.  

Factors, such as, the type, and the value of assets held, can impact how an estate is taxed, so it is always advisable to seek professional help in order to minimise tax. At Monetta, our trust accountants are experts in trust tax, and can help to protect your assets well into the future.
