TSEM3054 - An outline of the single declaration arrangement for trusts

Single declaration arrangement

The single declaration arrangement allows a trustee to send completed returns along with

  • a single declaration and
  • a list of the trusts covered by that declaration.

The trustee signs the single declaration, but not the paper returns or hard copy printouts.

The arrangement applies to returns submitted on paper, or using e-filing.
