T3 Statement of Trust Income Allocations and Designations (slip)

What Is T3 Statement of Trust Income Allocations and Designations?

This T3 statement is a tax form that every trust beneficiary should understand. The T3 Statement of Trust Income Allocations and Designations, often simply called the "T3 slip", is an integral tax document in many situations. The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) issues this slip to trust beneficiaries who have received income from a trust in the preceding year. The T3 slip gives a detailed report of the type of income received – whether it be dividends, interest, or capital gains – and the beneficiary's allocation.

Why the T3 slip matters

As a trust beneficiary, you need a T3 slip for tax filing purposes. Without this form, you might not correctly declare your income from the trust, which could lead to penalties or audits from the CRA. Furthermore, the T3 slip ensures transparency and accuracy in reporting income from trusts, which keeps the integrity of the Canadian tax system.
