On the basis of the regulations as currently drafted, in the case of bare trusts, the beneficiary will be regarded as the owner rather than the trustees. In other cases however, as owners of land, trustees will be in the frame for default liability for CIL - even where trust funds in their control do not cover the full extent of the liability. Trustees beware!
