QUESTION 31 - INTEREST IN A FULLY DISCRETIONARY TRUST
Does the Department agree that the fair market value of an interest in a fully discretionary trust is nil?
DEPARTMENT'S POSITION
The fair market value of an interest (either income or capital) in a fully discretionary trust is, generally, indeterminable due to the discretionary power of the trustee.
