This creates a separated property, to which has the original owner (the Settlor) no ownership rights. Management of this separated property performs the Trustee. However, he has no ownership of this property. Property in the Trust Fund does not belong to anyone, but the Trustee can dispose of it. The aim of this thesis is to comprehensively summarize and analyze the taxation of the Trust Fund according to the regulation applicable in 2014 and also after its revision in January 2015.

The core of this paper is an analysis of three basic elements of trusts: the description of trusts, monitoring and analysing of the contemporary development, and perception of trusts by Czechs. The thesis contains detailed description of rights and duties of the settlor, the trustee and the beneficiary, also compares the Czech and foreign processing and then points out some differences and offers various recommendations. A fully processed questionnaire survey and analysis of the collected data is an integral part of this work. Low literacy about trusts has been discovered and its impact has been assessed.

The investigation further revealed important as well as unimportant features of trusts to potential settlors. These findings could be significant for the future development in this area....
