This year brings important enhancements to the ITR12T trust return which takes place against the backdrop of SARS's administrative non-compliance penalty framework for trusts, which came into effect on 4 May 2026 and applies to outstanding trust income tax returns for tax periods from 2024 onwards. Trustees remain accountable for all trust tax matters, regardless of economic activity, so please read this article carefully."}
