Another practical trust question

[eggnog]

How are the expenses of a corporate trustee treated, ie: accounting fees, advisor fees, bank fees, etc. Does the corporate trustee receive a distribution from the trust for an amount equal to all its fees incurred for that financial year?
I'm mainly interested in discretionary trusts.

 

[D.T.]

Trust pays them out of pre-distribution monies

Trustee would generally have no expenses to claim as any expenses incurred would be in its capacity as trustee and the trust would claim them
