PTP Talking Trusts: What Proposed Tax Changes Mean for You.
Live Session and Q&A.
Going live in…
Have a trust, or thinking about setting one up? The proposed changes to discretionary trust taxation could affect the tax you pay and the flexibility of your structure, so it’s worth some careful consideration.
Following the May 2026 Federal Budget announcement, draft legislation has now been released, including a proposed 30% minimum tax on certain discretionary trusts from 1 July 2028.
Join PTP’s award winning business advisors, Joe Seccull and Tam Daniel for a free, practical online session exploring what the proposed changes could mean for business owners, families and investors.
Using practical examples, Joe and Tam will explain:
- The key proposed changes and who could be affected.
- What they could mean for income tax and the way trust income is distributed.
- How the flexibility of trusts may change.
- Why trusts may still be worth considering, and where they continue to make sense.
- What to consider for both existing trusts and new structures.
We’ll finish with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to put your questions to Joe and Tam.
