TFN for Trust

Hi,

I am applying for a TFN for a trust I have recently established. It seems a simple question but the ATO website is contradictory. It states:

Name of the Discretionary Investment Trust:

Then it has a box to enter a name. The box is already populated with "The trustee for". So question is do I replace that with the actual name of the trust i.e. "XYZ Trust" or do I simply add XYZ trust to it so it becomes "The trustee for XYZ Trust" (this seems what it is trying to achieve but I am unsure).

Thanks for your help.

 

I would not change it.

The Trustee For The XXX Trust is conventional. This is one of many issues you can get wrong with a trust establishment. DIY isnt always do it well.

 

The second.

The ATO treats the trust as a separate tax payer, but the trust is not a legal entity so they address letters etc to "the trustee of XX)

 

I second that.

 

Thanks everyone
