It is common in practice for trustees to appoint income to beneficiaries but leave some or all of these entitlements unpaid. While this delay in paying distributions is not necessarily a problem, there are a number of tax issues that need to be considered to ensure that adverse tax implications are not triggered. 

This webinar guides practitioners through the key issues that need to be considered, the options that can be available when dealing with unpaid trust distributions and how to best manage them.
