Trust tax rates 2024/25

benjaminfabi · March 8

Hi,

I noticed in next year's tax rates that the £1,000 starting rate for trusts is being abolished in favour of a £500 de minimis level. When income is less than £500 no tax is due, then everything over will be trust rates on everything.

Does anyone have a link of a more detailed statement about this, as I only saw it in the updated HMRC rates and allowances tables following the budget. I'm left wondering if I missed a wider raft of changes to trust taxation or if this was a simple one-off.

Do you mean the changes they announced in the 2023 Spring Budget? - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/simplifications-for-trusts-and-estates

Yes, perfect!

There was too much other stuff going on in that budget at the time! I knew I must have missed something!

Estates impact too

Note we believe the tax on the £500 eventually catches up when income is paid out.
