About this Guide

This guide will help administrators of estates and trusts fill in their Income tax return: Estate or trust (IR6).

When to use this guide

You’ll need to complete an IR6 return if you administer an estate or trust, unless the trust or estate has no prospect or intention of deriving any assessable income in a given financial year. In this case, you can contact Inland Revenue with the name and IRD number of the trust and IRD will record that a return is not required.

What you will need

You will need your estate or trust’s:

• IRD number
• income details
• claimable losses
• bank account number
• distribution details
