Family Trusts
The Family Trust has proved to be an effective way to move taxable income out of the hands of a high-income earner and into the hands of lower taxed family members. The Trust can be established in the lifetime of a settlor, or upon death through the settlor's Last Will and Testament.

In most cases, the Trust is discretionary - meaning the trustee can decide what amount each beneficiary should receive so that the trustee can allocate income to the low-income beneficiaries to minimize tax payable.

 

The risk of personal liability in proprietorships and partnerships makes them unpopular
for substantial or risky business. 
Most profitable businesses incorporate.

Family Trusts Created by Will
The advantage of a Family Trust created by Will is that if an investment is left in the Trust, the Trust can take advantage of the lower, marginal rates of taxation of investment income, instead of the beneficiaries' higher rate of taxation. In many cases, if the spouse of the deceased is a beneficiary, this may not only lower the tax liability, but also prevent the clawback of Old Age Security or other income-based benefits, such as the GST credit. In cases where Discretionary Trusts are established for children, the child is made the trustee and given the discretion to allocate income to himself, to his spouse, and to his children, who may not be taxed at all. Testamentary Trusts are especially valuable if you feel sure your child would use the inheritance to earn investment income.

Family Trusts Created During a Lifetime
Family Trusts are frequently established to hold shares of a corporation owned and controlled by a taxpayer.  The Trust is always discretionary in nature, meaning the income earned by the Trust can be divided among several beneficiaries as the trustee, in his sole discretion, decides. The beneficiaries are invariably the trustee and spouse and children.

Family Trusts are especially advantageous for parents of adult dependent children.  It is possible to make allocations of income to an adult dependent child and not pay it to the child.

Mineral Trusts can be established so that the taxable income from future production can be spread among several beneficiaries through a discretionary trust.  This allows the oils and gas interest to e taxed at much lower marginal rates than the person establishing the trust.
