Is a new Tax Declaration needed when a controlling person changes?

Yes, this is regarded as a change of circumstance and a new Tax Declaration must be completed for the new controlling person(s). Examples of where a controlling person can change include:

  • an appointment of a new trustee,
  • an appointment of an absolute beneficiary,
  • an appointment of a protector,
  • an appointment of a director,
  • where a shareholder’s share increases to 25% or more, or
  • where an individual who otherwise exercises control over the company is appointed,
  • where a new beneficiary is paid a full or partial withdrawal and a tax declaration has not previously been provided for that beneficiary.
