Trust Registration
It is important to understand how the UK Trusts Register works. Our specialists regularly advise trustees and assist with all aspects of trust registration.
Registering a trust with HMRC is mandatory in nearly all circumstances. Whilst there are some exceptions to the regulations, they are few and far between. Trustees must adhere to the trust registration regulations and the anti-money laundering provisions. This includes keeping the trust register up to date within the prescribed timeframes. HMRC has the power to issue penalties for deliberate non-compliance.
A regulated entity (such as a solicitors firm, an accountancy firm or an investment business) cannot act for an unregistered trust which is not exempted under the regulations. Our experts help clients navigate the trust registration process smoothly and efficiently.
