T3 - Trust information

Are you filing a return for either a testamentary trust or an inter vivos trust? A testamentary trust is a personal trust or estate created on the day a person dies. Its terms are established by the person's will (by law if there is no will), or by a court order under provincial legislation. All other trusts are called inter vivos trusts.

This module contains the guide, forms, and schedules for completing the T3 return, including the T3 Slip and T3 Summary.

The guide is written in plain language to explain the most common tax situations for trusts. If you need more help after reading it, contact us at 1-800-959-8281.
