A trust is a structure that separates control and legal ownership from beneficiaries. This means while one person/company manages the asset or property, another person will receive the financial benefits (the beneficiary). Hence a trust can be set up to have income pass through it and be distributed to several beneficiaries in the most tax effective manner. This can usually reduce the tax paid on the income received when distributed to several people compared to if the income was to be distributed to one person. In fact child beneficiaries of a trust are entitled to receive a certain amount of income before being taxed.
