17 caution the Katz commission i frowned upon the use of trusts as a generation skipping tool any estate plan, utilising a trust, needs to take this into account.
18 succession planning Mr. Jones (75) leaves his R3 million house to his only son, Rob (40), who has 3 children aged 1 to 4 Rob keeps the house and earns rental income of R120,000pa. 000pa Will Rob be taxed on the rental income? tax rate 40% Thus R48,000pa tax
19 another option Mr Jones leaves the property p to a testamentary trust (discretionary) no transfer fees are payable Mr Jones son, Rob and the 3 grandchildren are the beneficiaries the trust earns R120,000pa rental income the trustees, in their discretion, distribute the income equally to the 3 grandchildren
20 R120,000 distributed (R40,000 ea) who pays the tax? the minor children will be responsible R40,000 is below the tax threshold thus no tax on total of R120,000 additional R48,000 escalating annually. over 15 years (R1,680,000 10%pa)
21 additional benefits no additional estate duty when Rob dies no additional CGT when Rob dies potential savings after 30 years estate duty R10 million CGT protection from creditors

23 dies at age 55 (no planning) assets now worth R54 million Assume liabilities of R3 million includes R1,5 million CGT net estate is R51 million less R3,5 million abatement estate duty is R9,500,
24 Smith case study Mr Smith (40) is a successful entrepreneur, married ANC excluding accrual home R3,000,000 rental properties R3,000,000 business R5,000,000 unit trusts R2,000,000 R13,000,000 less: debt R2,000,000 net estate R11,000,000
25 subtle changes growth assets into trust (R10 million) loan account in trust R10 million excludes home, preservation fund (R4 m) 15 years time, loan account is R7 million trust s s assets valued at R42 million home valued at R12 million trust assets not dutiable (only loan account)
