The trustee(s) (there may be more than one) of a trust is a person or company (corporate trustee) and has full power to manage the trust’s tax affairs, including registering the trust in the tax system, lodging trust tax returns and paying some tax liabilities.

Under trust law, trustees are:

• personally liable for the debts of the trusts they administer, and
• entitled to be indemnified out of the trust property for liabilities incurred in the proper exercise of the trustee’s powers (except where a breach of trust has occurred).

The trustee may also be a beneficiary, but not the sole beneficiary unless there is more than one trustee.

They have an entitlement to trust income and capital that is set out in the Trust deed or they may receive an entitlement because the trustee exercises a discretion to pay them income or capital. (as previously mentioned)
