Trust Registration – are you ready?

The long promised mandatory Trust Registration Service is now live and the deadline for registrations is looming.

Who should register trusts?

It is the trustees responsibility to register a trust. Trustees may do this themselves or appoint an agent to do so on their behalf.

When should trusts be registered?

Trusts must be registered with HMRC’s Trust Registration service by 1st September 2022 or within 90 days of the trust being created. Whichever is the longest date

Are there any ongoing responsibilities for trustees?

Non Taxable trusts so not need to give an annual declaration but they must update the information registered within 90 days of any change. Changes would include changes in trustees or beneficiaries and the trust coming to an end.

Trustees of taxable trusts must give an annual declaration confirming that the registered details are up to date.

How will I know that the trust has been registered?

HMRC will issue a unique taxpayer reference (UTR) which will confirm the trust’s registration status.
