Descriptive Notes And Contents List

The Trusts report studies the 20 top jurisdictions which offer trust regimes. It's a fairly well known fact that the trust originated in England many hundreds of years ago, and that its purpose was to preserve assets against depredations occurring through death, matrimonial and family squabbles, spendthrift descendants and the like. Taxation at death was one of the incidents that trusts were effective against, but they were not particularly designed to guard against the taxation of income or capital during the settlor's life, because such taxes were not a major threat to wealth at the time, and anyway a domestic trust was a taxable person in itself. Now the trust is a major component of asset protection structures, as well as having many business uses.
