Using the trust tax return instructions
All trusts (except for attribution managed investment trusts (AMITs), attribution corporate collective investment vehicle (CCIVs) sub-fund trusts and public trading trusts) need to complete the Trust tax return 2025 (NAT 0660).
When we say you or your business in these instructions, we mean either:
- you as the trustee that conducts a business
- you as the registered tax agent or trustee responsible for completing the tax return.
When we say taxpayer in these instructions, we mean you as the trustee of the trust as if you were a taxpayer.
These instructions are not a guide to income tax law. If these instructions don't fully cover the trusts circumstances, contact us or a recognised tax adviser.
