HMRC's online Trust Registration Service (TRS) was designed to implement the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), SI 2017/692, as well as to support the digital direction of HMRC and tax transparency generally. Developments to the service were introduced in light of the further requirements arising from the fifth EU anti-money laundering directive, Directive (EU) 2018/843 (5MLD) through the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (MLR 2020), SI 2020/991. Although estates were not originally covered by MLR 2017, SI 2017/692, HMRC rolled out the online Estate Registration Service (ERS) simultaneously with the TRS to deal with the reporting of complex estates' income tax and capital gains tax (CGT) liabilities. In fact, the TRS and ERS were introduced in the same online system and named the Trust and Estate Registration Service, although it is helpful to refer to them separately. Given that the deadlines (and potential penalties) imposed by MLR 2017, SI 2017/692 on certain trusts do not apply to personal representatives
