About the webinar

Property held in trust will vest at some point so understanding the tax consequences of vesting is important. This session looks at some of the main tax issues on vesting:

• The meaning of absolute entitlement for vesting purposes
• Approaching vesting date – tax implications
• Vesting and CGT liability – event E5 and K6
• Can you extend the vesting date?
• Can you retrospectively fix a vesting problem?
• After vesting – the ongoing trust relationship and potential tax issues
• Distributions after vesting date
• Tax consequences of defective distributions
