About This Course

Welcome to "Trust Reporting Changes: CPA Compliance." This course is meticulously crafted to empower Chartered Professional Accountants and legal representatives with a comprehensive understanding of Canadian trust taxation and reporting, specifically addressing the significant legislative updates taking effect for the 2024 tax year.

Recent legislative changes, notably the enhanced reporting requirements for beneficial ownership on Schedule 15 and the critical shift for bare trusts regarding filing relief, have substantially increased the compliance burden. This course will guide you through these complexities, including the implications of new capital gains inclusion rates split between Period 1 and Period 2 of 2024, ensuring you remain at the forefront of CPA compliance.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Accurately determine trust residency and distinguish between various trust types (e.g., testamentary, inter vivos, GREs, QDTs, bare trusts, alter ego trusts, spousal trusts).
Master the procedural mechanics of filing T3 returns, including obtaining trust account numbers, understanding deadlines, and navigating penalties for non-compliance.
Flawlessly complete Schedule 15 for beneficial ownership, identifying all reportable entities: settlors, trustees, beneficiaries, and controlling persons, while understanding the nuances of bare trust reporting relief for 2024.
Calculate total income by correctly reporting capital gains (Period 1 and Period 2), pension income, business income, and other investment income sources.
Determine net and taxable income, applying deductions for carrying charges, trustee fees, Allowable Business Investment Losses (ABILs), and loss carry-backs/carry-forwards.
Navigate complex capital dispositions, including deemed dispositions (21-year rule), principal residence exemptions, and the precise reporting of Qualified Farm or Fishing Property and Qualified Small Business Corporation Shares.
Differentiate between income allocation and designation on Schedule 9, properly handling Preferred Beneficiary Elections and understanding the Tax on Split Income (TOSI) rules.
Calculate federal tax payable, apply various tax credits (e.g., Federal Dividend Tax Credit, Foreign Tax Credit), understand the minimum tax regime, and adhere to the new Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation (EIFEL) rules on Schedule 130.
Ensure seamless cross-compliance by accurately issuing T3 and NR4 slips to beneficiaries, understanding mandatory electronic filing thresholds, and managing amended or cancelled slips.

This course begins with the foundational elements of trust taxation and culminates in the precise requirements for issuing beneficiary slips, providing a holistic and practical guide to T3 return preparation.

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
