Short answerYou renew 12AB by filing Form 10AB at least 6 months before the registration expires (or within the prescribed window). The department reviews the trust’s activities and grants a fresh 5-year registration. Missing the renewal can cost the exemption and even trigger an exit tax.

Form 10AB, 6 months before

Apply ahead of expiry with updated activity and financial details. Confirm the current window.

Consequences of missing

Loss of exemption and possible accreted-income (exit) tax on the trust’s assets.
