What is a reasonable market related interest rate to use on a loan to a family trust?
Posted 8 August 2014
Hi Tim, what is regarded as a reasonable interest rate on a loan made by a trustee to a family (discretionary) trust in order to avoid a "Deemed donation" being made in the form of no/too low interest? I would argue that it would be an "opportunity cost" rate - for example a FNB money market rate.

SARS have official interest rates you can use, or else you can use Prime -1 is often accepted.
