AI Summary

Tax audit requirement for exempt trusts: exemption and absence of taxable income negate statutory tax audit obligation.
A pension trust fully exempt under the applicable income tax exemption and reporting no taxable income is not subject to a statutory tax audit under the Income Tax Act; the trust's annual accounts are nonetheless reviewed annually by a government auditor after return filing.
