Join Clark Wilson Tax and Estates & Trusts chair Richard Weiland, TEP as he speaks at the Canadian Tax Foundation’s Canadian Taxation of Trusts Conference 2025, which will be hosted in Toronto on Monday, May 5th. This full-day session will be offered both in person and through a live webcast.

Trusts remain one of the most powerful and flexible tools in estate and tax planning, but their complexity demands a deep understanding of both trust law and the Income Tax Act. This conference will feature leading experts analyzing the life cycle of a trust, the intersection of trust and tax law, and the latest developments impacting planning strategies.

In Richard’s session, “Trusts Throughout the Act (Part I),” he will break down how trusts are treated under the Income Tax Act, focusing on key concepts such as “affiliated,” “associated,” “related,” and “acquisition of control.” Using practical examples and real-world applications, he will compare and contrast the treatment of trusts with other taxpayers, such as corporations and individuals. Richard will provide valuable insights and solutions into the complexities of trust taxation and equip practitioners with the knowledge needed to navigate evolving legislative challenges.
