Trustees should be aware that the deadline for registering trusts with a UK tax liability for the first time in 2017/18 is 5 October 2018.
Under the Trust Registration service all trusts with UK tax liabilities must be registered with HMRC under an online registration system. For trusts set up in 2016/17, it being the first year of the online system, trustees had until 5 January 2018 to register, however this was part of a ‘soft landing’ for the new system. The deadline is now 5 October following the relevant tax year, with amendments to the register being due by the following 31 January, though these cannot yet be completed online.
Late registration penalties can apply; these were also subject to a soft landing for the first year but this period has now passed.

Wouldn’t it be great and think how much TIME it would SAVE you if someone:
- READ all the latest tax news, case decisions, new legislation and articles in tax and then summarised them for you?
- Only alerted you to things that are RELEVANT to you?
How about if that someone also:
- Updated those summaries in REAL TIME for you
- ADDED examples, planning points, toolkits and calculators, and
- Linked all that information together and also provided you with CPD?
