Do you have a trust, or are you involved with one?

Proposed tax reforms could significantly change how trusts are taxed from 2027, with potential implications for individuals, families, investors and business owners.

Join Regan Smith from AFS & Associates for a practical session exploring the proposed changes, what they could mean for existing trust structures, and what to consider as you start planning ahead. Regan will also touch on key proposed changes to capital gains tax and what they could mean for individuals, investors and businesses.

Whether your trust holds investments, property, business assets or forms part of your family’s financial structure, this session will help you understand what may be changing.

Do you use a discretionary trust for your business, investments or family assets?

New draft legislation has provided more detail on the Federal Government’s proposed 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts, expected to apply from 1 July 2028.

Under the proposal, relevant trust income would generally be taxed at a minimum rate of 30%, potentially changing the tax benefits of distributing income to beneficiaries on lower tax rates or using corporate beneficiaries.

The legislation is still in draft form and may change, so there is no need to restructure now. However, if you use a discretionary trust, it’s worth understanding what the proposed changes could mean for you.

We’ve broken down the key details and what to consider in our latest article.
