Bare Trust Reporting in Canada: What you need to know for 2026
Do you hold a property, bank account, or investment for someone else?
You may have a bare trust arrangement without even knowing it.
This can happen when a parent is added to a child’s home title or a grandparent holds an account for a grandchild.
Starting with taxation years ending on or after December 31, 2026, Canada’s expanded trust reporting rules will require many of these arrangements to file a T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return, along with Schedule 15 disclosing beneficial ownership information, for the very first time.

At Ascend, we understand the complexities involved in business succession planning and are here to guide you through the process. In this blog post, we’ll explore key considerations and strategies to help you navigate this important transition.
