Where a trust does not satisfy any of the conditions for exemption listed in the Trust Guide for a taxation year, will it be subject to any penalty for failure to file a tax return or information return? CRA responded:
Generally, the CRA does not intend to impose a penalty for failure to file an income or information return on a person who has not filed a T3 return for a particular taxation year where none of the situations listed in the T3 Trust Guide (T4013) under the heading "Who has to file a return?" applied to that person for that particular taxation year.
Of course, the filing of a T3 Return can still be requested by the CRA under subsection 150(2).
