MY daughter has inherited some money in trust. How do I open and name a bank account for her so that her account pays its own tax and I as trustee/ guardian don’t end up with her tax bill?

Generally, you are able to give a TFN for the bank account. I'm assuming it's a savings account for interest, you put down your daughter's TFN so when the financial year is over, the bank reports the interest into your daughter's tax return.
The tax implications you should see a tax agent.
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated
