                    [Summary] => The Trust Officers’ Association of the Philippines (TOAP) said that gains arising from redemption of unit investment trust fund (UITF) participation are not subject to a final withholding tax. 


In a position paper, the TOAP said the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Ruling No. 003-05 stated that the final tax withheld on interest income payments to the trust fund is distinct and separate from the tax on the income derived by the individual investor, it qualified that this is only applicable to irrevocable trusts.

                    [Summary] => Following the phase-out of common trust funds, banks have been shifting en masse to other lightly-regulated trust accounts, prompting the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to warn that it would soon crack down on these instruments as well. 


The BSP reported over the weekend that there had been an "unusual increase in the living trust accounts of banks" shortly before and right after the effectivity of the rule that required banks to convert to unit investment trust funds (UITFs).
