Hi @Kitty_J


I've got an answer for you.


Amounts distributed from the trust corpus to a beneficiary won't be assessable in the hands of the beneficiaries, as long as the following are met:


  • the trust deed allows the trustee to accumulate income each year
  • the income was assessed to the trustee
