Planning critical for survival
Running a small business can be tough, especially when it comes to finding time to plan.
Planning for disasters can be even tougher. But planning is like plotting your course on a map - it helps you steer clear of panic when things go haywire.
It's crucial to have an emergency plan for stuff like natural disasters, cyberattackes, fires or majoy financial hits. This plan can be a lifesaver when chaos strikes.
Be wary of beneficiaries becoming trust settlors
A beneficiary becomes a deemed settlor if -
The amount owing to them from the trust at the end of the income year is $35,000 or over; or
The trust does not pay interest to the beneficiary at a rate equal to or greater than the prescribed IRD interest rate.
Therefore, watch out if a 'child' beneficiary's current account balance is more than $25,000. If the trust does not pay interest to the beneficiary, they will become a 'settlor'. This new rule became effective from 1 April 2020 and was not retrospective.
