Rawbaws,
Example:
Rental Income = $200
Expenses = $50
Net profit = $150
This is distributed and you pay tax on $150 that's pretty simple right?
If the trust does the above but also sells a property and makes $50 Gain then you also pay tax on the $50.
Then your distirbution statement has:
Distribution $150
Capital Gain $50
Total distribution $200
I know it's simple and silly numbers but you get the picture?
Note: I am not saying I am right. I am merely saying this is my understanding. We find out next Friday....
