My Grandfather left a family beach house in a trust for the family to use. Over the years it was not used anymore so it was sold and each person in the trust got R10000 00 and then the trust was dissolved. I want to know will I pay tax on this and can you help should I register?

The Trust would have paid CGT on the property so no you do not need to pay tax on this distribution.
