Form: Trusts and estates registration service

Updated: The Trusts and Estates online registration services have been added to allow individuals to register their trust or complex estate.

All trusts and estates with a tax liability must be registered with the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) trusts and estates online services. This includes any that you’ve already used form 41G to tell us about.

You’ll need to sign in to, or set up a Government Gateway account to use these services. You can do this within each service.

You must submit a Self Assessment Trust and Estate Tax Return after the end of each tax year to report each trust or estate’s income and gains.

Register your estate

Use the Estates Online Service to register complex estates. You should do this by 5 October of the tax year after the estate is set up.

You’ll be asked to give details of the:

  • estate
  • personal representative
  • deceased person
  • tax years the estate needs to declare liability to Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax for
  • period end date if the administration period has ended

You also need to register any trust created by a will, if the trust has a tax liability.

Register your trust

Use the Trusts Online Service to register your trust with HMRC, to pay Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

For new trusts do this by 5 October of the tax year after the trust is set up or when it starts to make income or chargeable gains, if this is later.

You’ll be asked to give details of:

  • the trust
  • trustees
  • settlors
  • beneficiaries
  • other people with influence or involvement in the trust
  • assets settled into the trust
  • the tax years the trust needs to declare liability to Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax for

You may also be asked for details of:

  • the deceased person, if the trust is being established by a will or under the rules of intestacy
  • protectors, if any have been appointed

Form: Alcohol duties: Beer Duty return (EX46)

Updated: Update on submitting March 2017 paper returns.

You will use EX46 to declare:

  • duty payable on beer removed from your registered premises to home use
  • deliveries in duty suspense to other warehouses or for export

Update

An online iForm will not be available for March 2017 submissions.

To submit returns for March 2017 users can either:

  • make use of the paper returns that have already been issued to all registered brewers (these were issued on 27 March 2017 and include the pre-Budget and post-Budget duty rates)
  • use the print and post form where the rates can be entered manually

HMRC recognise that this may cause difficulty for customers who intended to file online and must now submit a paper return.

HMRC won’t issue a penalty if you pay the duty due for the return on time and we have received the March Beer Duty return by 19 April 2017.

An updated iForm will be re-released on 20 April 2017. The form will incorporate the new post-Budget duty rates and will be limited to submissions covering periods from 1 April 2017 onward.

In future, users that need to submit returns covering periods before 1 April 2017 will need to use the existing print and post form where rates and reporting period dates can be entered manually.
