For AY 2025-26, a discretionary trust is taxed at the Maximum Marginal Rate of 30%. According to recent judicial clarifications, the surcharge is not fixed at the maximum but applies based on your total income slabs (e.g., 0% if income is below ₹50 Lakh). Total effective tax for most trusts below the ₹50 Lakh threshold will be 31.2%.
